Most underappreciated NFL players: Top candidate for each NFC team entering 2025 season - NFL.com
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: MORO OJOMO. Admittedly, this is my biggest projection in this exercise, given that the 2023 seventh-round pick has played just 456 defensive snaps in the NFL. But in the wake of Milton Williams’ departure in free agency, Ojomo is set to assume a bigger role, and I think he’ll seize the opportunity. Why? Well, among interior defenders with at least 300 pass-rushing snaps last season, Ojomo boasted PFF’s second-highest win rate (18.2%), trailing only Chris Jones (18.8%). Williams actually finished fourth (17.6%), underscoring what a blessing it is to line up next to double-team destroyer Jalen Carter. But unlike Milton, Moro will continue to reap that benefit in 2025.
Where are the Eagles deep, and not so deep, after the 2025 NFL Draft: Defense edition - PhillyVoice
Interior defensive line. Carter is sort of the Saquon Barkley of the defense, in that he had a hefty workload in 2024. Here were the Eagles’ interior defensive line snap counts last season: Jalen Carter: 1027, Milton Williams: 629, Moro Ojomo: 465, Jordan Davis: 431, Thomas Booker: 170. Expect a significant uptick in Ojomo’s snaps this season, as he’ll take Williams’ former role. We’ll see if Davis can play more than three snaps at a time without having his hands on his hips. The Eagles will also hope that fourth-round rookie Ty Robinson can step into a role similar to Ojomo’s last season, where he can play both on run downs and passing downs. Are the Eagles in good shape here relative to the rest of the league, depth-wise? As you can see above, only five interior linemen played for the Eagles in 2024, though Brandon Graham would chip in on rare occasions. The Eagles weren’t super deep along the interior of their line in 2024, but it didn’t matter because Carter was a beast who played quadruple-digit snaps, and they didn’t have any injuries otherwise. If Carter got hurt, that would be a big problem, obviously.
How many games on the Eagles’ schedule do they have a quarterback advantage in? - BGN
This season, Hurts and the Eagles will again be facing a solid group of opposing quarterbacks, topped by two-time former MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes, reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen, and rising stars Jayden Daniels, mixed with established, though considered second-tier elite starters like Matt Stafford, Justin Herbert, Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff. Geno Smith has, and can, beat the Eagles. It’s an interesting list who the Eagles and Hurts will face in 2025. Hurts is the best quarterback in the NFC East, however, it is a reign that may not last long, with the Washington Commanders’ Daniels showing remarkable poise and polish his rookie season beating the Eagles on a last-second TD pass. Dak Prescott is still formidable, just two years removed from going...
