2. Eagles O-Line tends to crumble without Brooks in the lineup
Brooks is the Eagles’ most consistent performer and the dropoff is noticeable when he’s not in the lineup. Jason Kelce had this to say about Brooks after the Eagles win on Sunday.
“It’s a pretty frustrating deal. Obviously, Brandon, the importance of him, not just as a player but what he brings to the team – he’s an incredible guy,” center Jason Kelce said via The Inquirer. “He’s really made our offensive line take another step forward. Probably the most consistent guy we have upfront. That’s a big loss. Hopefully, it’s nothing too crazy.
“He just brings so much – the power, the intelligence. He’s a complete player.”
