PHILADELPHIA Nakobe Dean knows the hurdles in front of him. Jumping them at this point doesnt seem feasible, and the rookie Eagles linebacker is OK with that.Those two hurdles, of course, are T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White, a pair of linebackers who have combined for 72 starts in their careers including all three together so far this season.Of course, I want to play, said Dean earlier this week at his locker. And do I Jaime Garcia Jersey feel like I can play? Yes. Do I feel like I can be good? Yes. But of course, the two guys in front of me, Toronto Blue Jays T-Shirts theyre great."And I feel like its their turn. Im glad theyre getting it. And I hope they continue to flourish and continue to play to the best of their ability.Edwards and White have managed to gain chemistry quickly on and off the field and rarely do they come off the field.READ MORE:Edwards has played 96 percent of the defensive snaps, by far a career-high. He leads the team in tackles with 27, including back-to-back weeks with 10.White has played 75 percent of the defensive snaps. A year after leading the Chargers in tackles with 144, he is third on the team behind safety Marcus Epps 20 with 19.Scroll to ContinueHes a really good dude, funny guy, so he brings a lot to our room, said Edwards about White. I think his football intelligence is really high. Thats something Dalton Pompey Jersey I can relate to because I think we both just love the game, love the scheme aspect, love to see how things fit.Hes played a lot of ball, so theres a lot of things hes played, a lot of things scheme-wise hes been a part of before, so I think we see the game very similar, and that helps a lot in terms of our communication and corrections and things like that. Yangervis Solarte Jersey Weve done a very good job of being on the same page.Meanwhile, Dean has played a grand total of three snaps on defense.He prepares by asking questions in meetings and watching Edwards and White do their jobs. He also likes to talk to his offensive teammates to see how they see and play things, and he watches NFL games on TV when he can to study various players.When I first got to college, I really wasnt as much of a (question guy), he said. I was always curious, but I never asked those kinds of questions when I first got there. Kendrys Morales Jersey But the more comfortable I got in college, the more I asked questions about me knowing what I have to do. Now that Im in the league, Im not reverting back to being quiet. When I came in, I came in asking a million questions because I want Roy Halladay Jersey to know.The best teachers are right under his nose in Edwards and White as well as LB coach Nick Rallis.T.J., Im not going to talk about the physical or the playmaker, but hes a true leader, said Dean. Him being able to go out there and make the play calls and talk. Me being around ball, Ive seen that, and hes one of the best at it. And Kyzirs going to bring that juice, bring that juice, and thats contagious.
