The Eagles’ decision-makers have pushed nearly all of the right buttons in this nearly perfect 9-1 season.
Football operations chief Howie Roseman and his top personnel advisor, Joe Douglas, found a keeper in the first round of the draft (defensive end Derek Barnett) and a sleeper after it was over (running back Corey Clement). They signed wide receiver Alshon Jeffery and running back LeGarrette Blount and traded for defensive tackle Tim Jernigan, cornerback Ronald Darby, and running back Jay Ajayi, all of whom have been big contributors. And head coach Doug Pederson and his staff have made very few mistakes with respect to strategy and lineup decisions.
