Daily News | Britain Covey, Jake Elliott, and the Eagles’ little men came up big against the Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Britain Covey is listed on the Eagles’ official roster as being 5-foot-8 and 173 pounds, and to say those measures are generous takes generosity to a level that would have made Mother Teresa look like a robber baron. All season, he has been trying to get Jordan Mailata — 6-foot-8, 365-pound Jordan Mailata — to pose with him for a photo. No luck yet. The right opportunity, so that the photo will say all that Covey wants it to say, just hasn’t presented itself.
There’s no better description of what the Eagles’ three shortest players — Boston Scott, who is 5-6; Covey; and Jake Elliott, who is 5-9 — did here Sunday. The strangest sequence of the afternoon came in the second quarter, when the Eagles’ Arryn Siposs, punting out of his own end zone, had the kick blocked, picked up the loose ball, carried it for 11 yards, and injured his ankle.
“We didn’t panic whenever things were kind of shaky,” said Scott, who averaged 39 yards on his three kickoff returns. “We didn’t point the finger. We didn’t get frustrated or flustered. We just continued to show up to work, and we knew it was going to turn.” “When you have such a good offense and defense, there is an understanding that special teams is there just to not screw it up,” Covey said. “But we’ve been so close throughout the year on so many different things that we’re kind of sick of being so close. More than anything, it’s not like we were just playing out of our heads [the last two weeks]. We’re just finishing that one little bit.
