Jonathan Greenard: ‘We are working our tails off’
“We are working our tails off” – Jonathan Greenard
That’s from the Eagles’ new edge rusher talking about Philly’s culture during OTAs/minicamp in June be55
*The full context*
Greenard was traded from the Vikings to the Eagles in April for two 3rd-round picks, then signed a 4-year, $100M extension. He’s coming off December surgery but has been around for OTAs. 4863
When asked about the Eagles’ culture he said:
> *”We work as a championship team. Attention to detail is there, we are working our tails off. Even after practice, we’re doing extra drills just to make sure we’re all on the same page.”* 4863
And again:
> *”They’re not going to settle for nothing less. It’s infectious, so you either get with the program or you get left. That’s not hard for me. I just get out there and work my tail off with the boys.”* 4863
*What he means by it*
1. *Championship standard* – Greenard said this is the best culture he’s played in after stints with Texans + Vikings. Philly is coming off a Super Bowl and the expectation is to get back.
2. *Details matter* – Extra drills after practice to stay in sync
3. *Blue collar fit* – He called Philly a “blue collar city” and said “When you work your tail off, everything’s going to be rewarded back to you” 48632157
*Why the Eagles got him*

Sounds like he’s fitting right in with Sirianni’s “infectious” culture. Want me to keep you posted on how he looks in camp?
