Daily News | ‘He’s straight Philly’: Haason Reddick causes havoc to the Jaguars in a turnover-filled day for the Eagles
With a raucous roar greeting him from Eagles fans seated near the north end zone, Haason Reddick stomped his feet and pointed to the grass at Lincoln Financial Field while he simultaneously screamed, “This is my city!”
The Eagles are the NFL’s only remaining unbeaten team, and Reddick leads the league with three strip sacks. His two forced fumbles were part of a five-turnover outing from the defense.Philly,” 13-year veteran Brandon Graham said. “It was just a coming home party for him today. I’m so happy because this is just the start for him.”
His impressive performance was deemed necessary considering the defense’s early struggles. The Jaguars jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Eagles didn’t buckle. The Jaguars wouldn’t score again until the 7-minute, 26-second mark of the fourth quarter, when the Eagles already boasted a two-possession lead.
“I’ve been comfortable,” Reddick said. “I’ve said it many times. [Gannon] always asks me, what am I comfortable with? Anything you see me doing out there on the field, I’m comfortable with. It’s up to me to go out there and execute it at a high level.” Throughout the winter and spring months, Reddick mainly trained at Temple’s athletic facilities. But when the Eagles began their offseason program, he wanted to familiarize himself with his new teammates. He became a regular at the NovaCare Complex, and Reddick’s work ethic quickly rubbed off on others across the building. Reddick’s eagerness and determination even caught 11-year defensive tackle and team captain Fletcher Cox by surprise.
