Jason Kelce on Phillies' struggles: 'Need somebody to have gusto'
Jason Kelce talked about the struggles for the 2025 Philadelphia Phillies, saying early adversity can be a good thing, but ultimately he believes the Phils need somebody with "gusto" to step up in the clubhouse.
"It could be the best thing that's happening to them right now...If you look at the best teams, since I've been in Philadelphia, almost all of us struggled at the beginning of the year...It's almost good to have adversity because if you have a tight enough group and you have a good enough core, you become tighter and galvanize as a result of what's happening with all of the noise. It can also destroy you, so we'll find out which one of those happens with the Phillies.
"It feels like they've been tight before, they need somebody to have some like gusto and just like do — I don't know it's hard to explain. But there's always got to be one or two of those guys that are just a wild card. That is going to just like pop off, it's going to piss everybody off for a day and then everybody is going to be like that was a big truth bomb. Or the amount of passion he showed rubs off on other guys. That's the stuff I want to see a little bit more out of the Phillies, just in general."
Kelce joined Joe DeCamara, Jon Ritchie and the 94WIP Morning Show in-studio around 7:45am for an hour on Wednesday, one day ahead of the NFL Draft talking all things Philadelphia sports.
