One can only imagine the friendly banter that was tossed back and forth among so many of the Philadelphia Eagles stars. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs traded blows this past Saturday night during an exciting affair that literally came down to the final play.
We'd assume you already know this. Perhaps you're a younger or newer Birds fan who doesn't, but both of those proud programs are well-represented on Philadelphia's roster.
Life is fair, but it isn't always equal, though. All Dawgs aren't created equally. We're learning that as Philly continues to tell us what they think about one of theirs.
The first month of the NFL season has come and gone. Azeez Ojulari, one of Philadelphia's offseason pickups, has been named a healthy scratch in all four of their games.
Thanks to his acquisition, he's another of the many former Georgia stars on the roster, but he has yet to make his on-field impression felt.
During his four seasons with the Giants, he faced the Eagles seven times, including once in the playoffs. He collected 21 tackles, five sacks, a fumble recovery, and five QB hits while playing 248 defensive snaps in those games.
The Birds figured, why not join him rather than continuing to try and beat him, but alas, since his arrival, his usage or lack thereof, seems to indicate how his coaches feel about him.
On a list of designated Eagles pass rushers, Ojulari is the low man on the totem pole as he's obviously staring up at everyone from Jalyx Hunt and Za'Darius Smith to Josh Uche, Ogbo Okoronkwo, and Patrick Johnson on Philadelphia's depth chart.
Nolan Smith is now on the Eagles' injured reserve and will be for at least three more games. If that doesn't convince the Birds to activate him, it seems nothing will, unless an emergency arises and Philadelphia is forced to make adjustments after further injuries.

The Eagles again named Azeez Ojular a healthy scratch, and that should tell us everything we need to know.
