The Eagles May Have Shit The Bed Yesterday, But Tank Bigsby Proved He's The Baddest Dude Left In The NFL This Year
Guys don't just accidentally start going by the name "Tank" for no reason at all. You're either Frank the Tank, or you're Cartavious "Tank" Bigsby. Either way, you are one bad hombre. Guys like Frank the Tank are out here working out with Arnold Schwarzenegger. And guys like Tank Bigsby are out here giving up 30+ pounds, and putting Bobby Wagner through the Earth's crust while blocking for Tanner McKee.
Obviously yesterday's Eagles game sucked. The playcalling was as uninspiring as it has been all season long. Tanner McKee did absolutely nothing to give you any sort of belief in his abilities to be a starter in this league. Kelee Ringo single-handedly pissed the 2 seed away when he gave Josh Johnson a free ride straight into the end zone to take the lead.
There were definitely some reasons to be concerned about yesterday's loss. But the biggest takeaway from that game?
Tank Bigsby is a goddamn weapon.
It doesn't matter what seed the Eagles are, or who they're facing in the playoffs. If that team has to deal with THIS version of Tank Bigsby? Then it's over for them before it even starts. Imagine thinking you're getting any sort of reprieve when Saquon Barkley comes off the field, but then all of a sudden you need to deal with the baddest dude in football. He'll either run a hole straight through your chest, or he'll toss your best pass rusher 6 feet under.
You can question the coaching decision to sit the starters yesterday all you want. You can question the playcalling. You can question Tanner McKee's abilities. But what you can't question is that Tank Bigsby fucking rules. It may have taken a little while for him to find his way here in Philly, but the Tank is fully on the loose right now. Godspeed to whatever or whomever stands in his way.
