Tank Bigsby Promises Eagles Will Win by Any Means Necessary
As winter descends upon Philadelphia, the iconic tune of Dean Martin reminds us of the chill in the air. In the NFL, this drop in temperature signals a shift in strategy: it’s time to ground and pound. Tank Bigsby, the Eagles’ promising running back, encapsulates this sentiment perfectly.
“Late in the season, you know you want to run the ball,” Bigsby explained, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the conditions. “But whatever we gotta do to get a win, we’re gonna do it. If we gotta run the ball, then run the ball. If we gotta throw it, throw it. Whatever we gotta do to handle our business.”
For Bigsby, the key is simple—execution and enjoyment. “Just go out there and have fun, that’s my biggest thing. Whenever the coach calls, execute at a high level.”
Eagles’ Struggles and Hopes for Improvement
The Eagles have faced challenges in establishing a solid running game throughout the season. Yet, as they approach the final stretch, there’s a glimmer of hope that they might be turning the corner. Bigsby, while cognizant of his current role, remains optimistic about the future.
“Is Bigsby waiting around the bend for a more increased role? Probably not, but one could always hope,” he said, reflecting on his place within the team. “My mindset doesn’t change. Whatever I have to do to help this team win, my brothers and coaches win, God gave me that opportunity, so just take advantage of it.”
The last game provided a glimpse of potential as the Eagles showcased their depth. “We played really well, and the backups got an opportunity to go out there and showcase what we can do a little more,” Bigsby noted. “Just thankful for the opportunity, but more grateful for the win.”
Backup RB Role in Eagles Offense Is Hard to Find
In a competitive Eagles offense, the role of the backup running back can often feel elusive. While the starting position garners much of the attention, Bigsby’s determination to contribute remains unwavering. As the season progresses, his commitment to the team’s success could prove invaluable, whether that means carrying the ball himself or supporting his teammates in their efforts.
With a steadfast mindset and a readiness to adapt, Bigsby embodies the spirit of the Eagles as they strive for victory in the cold months ahead.
