Heading into the Eagles NFC Championship sport towards the 49ers on Sunday there’s one Eagles participant who ought to have a chip on his shoulder. And rightfully so.
Haason Reddick, an influence participant on the Eagles protection, completed the common season tied for second within the league with 16 sacks. He additionally tied for the NFL lead in pressured fumbles with 5.
Regardless of his insane manufacturing, he was NOT named a finalist for Defensive Participant of the 12 months (DPOY). As a substitute, San Francisco 49ers defensive finish Nick Bosa, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Kansas Metropolis Chiefs defensive sort out Chris Jones had been the three picks.
Somebody please make it make sense.
On Episode 307 of BGN Radio, Brandon Lee Gowton got here to Reddick’s protection.
“I feel Reddick is being underrated. Clearly, nationally, we’ve talked about that from the Defensive Participant of the 12 months [snub] standpoint, however even by Eagles followers — not that they don’t respect him — however he’s on a distinct stage proper now.”
Via the Eagles postseason up to now, Reddick has 17 1/2 sacks in 18 video games and the one time Reddick has gone back-to-back video games with no sack was within the first two weeks of the season.
Reddick is clearly upset with the dearth of recognition. On Wednesday, Reddick tweeted the next:
In some unspecified time in the future, this shit gotta cease

“He’s recent, he’s able to go, he’s unstoppable. He solely had one and a half sacks towards the Giants however he may have had extra like he had seven complete pressures on like 24 move rush snaps in that sport. Loopy effectivity. And that’s the identical quantity of stress that the Giants had as a crew collectively out of the 19 gamers that performed on protection. He’s acting at a distinct stage proper now.”
I’ve a robust feeling that Reddick will permit this snub to inspire him within the title sport towards the 49ers.
Mr. Irrelevant is in for a impolite awakening.
