The sum total of Isaac Sopoaga's eight-game Eagles career was 18 tackles. When the Eagles traded Sopoaga and a sixth-round pick to the Patriots Tuesday for a 2014 fifth-round pick (see story), it barely created a ripple on the NFL landscape. For the Eagles' young defensive linemen, Sopoaga's brief stay in Philadelphia was anything but uneventful or irrelevent. Take a bunch of young kids just starting out their NFL careers and put them in a room with a 32-year-old veteran of 10 seasons, 132 games and a Super Bowl and the effect is a profound one.
