Eagles | Team wants Bunkley to step up
Sat, 28 Oct 2006 09:12:09 -0700
Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said first-round rookie DL Brodrick Bunkley "still has to pick it up a little bit." Bunkley agrees his rookie season is not everything he could have wished for. He has not tackles and no assists in the last four games. "I'd like to make more plays. I have to make more valuable use of the time I'm in there," said Bunkley. Head coach Andy Reid suggested Bunkley is still missing some things he would have grasped better if he had shown up to training camp on time. Reid added, "I think he's catching up from the small things that you learn during training camp. But he's improving. That's the important thing that you have to look at. If he was going backwards on it, and you didn't see signs of improvement, then you'd be more concerned."
