Is the Philadelphia Eagles’ culture really broken? Jason Kelce responds to Nick Foles’ criticism amid five straight losses (Getty Images)
Because it’s meaningless,” Kelce said on the 94WIP Morning Show, honestly, I don’t even like the word culture,. Because many players have spent most of their careers competing in successful teams, he acknowledged that the team is going through a difficult stretch, particularly.
Kelce said Foles did a great job of maintaining that standard throughout his career with the Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles have gone from a strong start to a season that is quickly slipping away. Five straight defeats have raised questions about the team’s performances, but former quarterback Nick Foles believes the problem goes beyond football. He recently pointed to dysfunction within the Eagles organization and questioned its culture. However, Jason Kelce has a different view, and he isn’t convinced that culture is even the right word to describe the problem. The former Eagles center addressed Foles’ comments during an appearance on the 94WIP Morning Show. Rather than agree with the criticism, Kelce questioned what people actually mean when they talk about a team’s culture. He also defended the accountability within Philadelphia’s locker room while acknowledging that the current losing run has put the players under pressure. “Culture is like a hot button topic. He then questioned whether the term actually explains anything about how a team operates. Kelce also brought up Foles’ own leadership during their time together in Philadelphia. He recalled how the former quarterback held teammates accountable during team meetings and discussed what the group needed to improve. “Well, I know that Nick keeps guys accountable in the team meetings. He’s talking about what are we doing right, what are we doing wrong,” Kelce added during the interview. He also expressed hope that the same approach continues inside the current locker room. However, Kelce didn’t dismiss the struggles facing Philadelphia.
