“I don’t know if it’s been more difficult, but it’s been challenging to integrate him.” The quote that defined 2018 in many ways for the Philadelphia Eagles came from offensive coordinator Mike Groh. It’s one that sticks out like a sore thumb to many, although it really shouldn’t.
When asked if it was difficult to spread the ball around after the acquisition of Golden Tate, Groh’s response caused absolute chaos for weeks. But his response was simple and very logical. Of course, implementing another slot receiver is going to be difficult…especially at the trade deadline. There are very few receivers acquired at the deadline who make an instant impact.
