Last Thursday night was big for a lot of people, particularly on the back end of the roster. Position battles were coming to a close and some players were fighting for a job. One player who wasn’t was linebacker Kiko Alonso, who saw his first action of the preseason against the New York Jets. Let’s go to the tape and see how he performed.
If you read my analysis of Alonso when the Eagles traded for him back in the spring, you’ll remember his relentless playing style and his sideline-to-sideline nature. The veteran linebacker put that aspect of his game on full display in the one series he played against New York.
