Earlier this month, in his last news conference before the season opener, Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh said that rookie tight end Dallas Goedert was "going to have to be a major contributor for us throughout the course of the season."
Well, we're two games in. Against Atlanta, Goedert played 17 snaps, was targeted three times, made one catch, for 4 yards, and inadvertently played a role in an interception when a safety put his helmet on the ball just as Goedert tried to pull it in. Sunday at Tampa, with the Eagles' receiving corps in full crisis mode after wideout Mike Wallace broke his right fibula on the second series, Goedert again played 17 snaps.
