Philadelphia Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni Compares New York Jets DT Quinnen Williams to Aaron Donald
The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a game in which they had to face Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald, and this week they will also face one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL.
New York Jets Pro Bowler Quinnen Williams will be on the other side of the trenches this week when they face the Eagles at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and coach Nick Sirianni says that the team will utilize a similar game plan with Williams than they had with Donald.
"They're different types of players, but they get the same type of respect," Sirianni said of Williams. "Very, very good player. Excellent. We have to know where he is on every single play as well ... We've been thinking about him a lot and we'll continue to think about him throughout the rest of the week."

Williams, 25, has recorded 17 tackles and 0.5 sack this season for the Jets, but the numbers don't quite tell the full story. His sheer size can still wreak havoc for any opponent and the Eagles offensive line will certainly have a challenge with him on Sunday.
That being said, the Eagles boast one of the best offensive lines in the NFL and the unit is a big reason behind the team's 5-0 start. If the Eagles can find a way to limit Williams' impact, they could find themselves at 6-0 after Sunday's game.
The Eagles and Jets are set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
