Despite Cris Collinsworth's uncorroborated statement that Michael Bennett was unhappy being a backup — one Bennett deflected Thursday — the new Eagles defensive end did admit that he's had to adjust to lining up more on a different side during his first public comments in over a month.
"It's like writing with your left hand for ten years and they tell you to write with your right hand," Bennett said. "It's harder, right?"
Changes were always in store for the 32-year-old edge rusher after the Eagles traded for him in March. He would play significantly less shifting from the Seahawks, where he was on the field 89 percent of time in 2017, to the Eagles, where defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz employs a heavy rotation.
