Daily News | Eagles coach Nick Sirianni: Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh were ‘outstanding’ in their debuts
Eagles defensive tackles Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh weren’t entirely sure what to expect this past weekend when they boarded the team’s charter plane bound for Indianapolis. In the days leading up to Sunday’s game, both players had barely gotten to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings and teammates, let alone learn the defensive playbook.
After both players signed in consecutive days last week, Joseph received the larger workload between the two with his 26 defensive snaps compared to Suh’s 17. Neither had played in an NFL game since the end of the 2021 season. Their respective roles could change whenever Davis, 22, returns from IR. But Suh, 35, and Joseph, 34, demonstrated they can be serviceable pieces for a unit that needed extra depth behind starters Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave.
“We thought the entire defensive line played really well,” Sirianni said. “Obviously those two guys played really well. It was exciting to see that, and all the plays that we felt were splash or play-of-the-game-type caliber plays had something to do with the defensive line.
