Momentum can be fleeting in the NFL. A few strong practices can make any Philadelphia Eagles player a talking point, but the real challenge is proving those performances weren't simply a product of training camp.
Ty Robinson now has an opportunity to do exactly that. The second-year defensive tackle has quietly found some footing. He has reportedly made some plays in practice lately. He has found ways to penetrate. He has developed more of a pass-rushing ******* nal and has shown his willingness to compete through the whistle.
That momentum carried into Philadelphia's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Robinson recorded a sack despite the Eagles' 24-7 loss, beating the left guard at the snap and immediately disrupting the pocket. It was another example of the quickness and strength that have recently surfaced, suggesting he could be an intriguing piece of Philadelphia's defensive line depth.
The encouraging part is that the performance didn't come out of nowhere. That means it can potentially be duplicated.
Robinson's recent flashes throughout camp are what coaches and teammates want to see. He's part of a deep unit, but it's always nice to know that there's another defensive weapon. If he can consistently generate penetration against both the run and pass, that will allow him to stand out even when playing behind more established defensive tackles.
