While there have been many changes and new faces this offseason, Triggs has remained with the team since 2003. He now works under general manager Joe Schoen, who came over from the Buffalo Bills along with coach Brian Daboll. Together, they have energized the building.
“On Joe’s first day, I got in at 6 o’clock in the morning to work out,” said Triggs, who looks like he could go toe to toe with any professional athlete in the gym. “I’m thinking maybe he’ll be working out and I’m going to try to beat him in.
