Schlereth Reveals Conversation with NFL GM
Schlereth’s coverage of the Seattle Seahawks during the preseason helped him stumble upon an interesting sentiment from a competing front office. He summarized a conversation with Seattle GM John Schneider.
“Everybody right now is trying to mimic, to copy Philadelphia, especially on the defensive front, with not only the size and the speed and athleticism, but the depth. He (Schneider) goes ‘They rotate eight guys. The ability to keep those guys fresh, the ability to have those guys play at a really high tempo throughout the entirety of four quarters is now something everybody looks at.’”

Praise from an opposing NFL GM certainly isn’t easy to find. After two Super Bowl appearances in six seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles have a glowing reputation around the league.
“They have been so successful. They have been so strong. They are so good that everybody’s looking at them kind of as a model franchise. Here’s how you build a team.” -Schlereth
