Analyzing Philadelphia’s defensive performance from their Week 11 win over Washington.

Ooh, baby, this Philadelphia Eagles efense is good. It’s cool watching a Vic Fangio defense ball out. This defense is young, aggressive, and talented. This performance against the Washington Commanders was a fun one.

(Previously: Eagles-Commanders offensive film review.)

Defense

At the start of the year, I remember the Eagles could not stop teams having success when using bunches. In one of these articles, I sarcastically wrote that Fangio should start using the ‘box’ call where you use four defenders to distribute the opposing three receivers. I wrote...

The Eagles are back to work as they prepare for their Week 12 game against the Rams, and defensvie coordinator Vic Fangio took some time on Tuesday to speak to reporters. He talked about Jalen Carter’s snap count, how Reed Blankenship is the quarterback of the secondary, and also noted why the Rams’ receivers will be a challenge.

Here’s what the DC had to say:

On the defensive tackles

Fangio was asked what goes into considering letting a defensive tackle stay on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps, like Jalen Carter did on Thursday night....

Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts have been racking up rushing touchdowns for the Philadelphia Eagles this season.

Hurts is now on a five-game rushing touchdown streak, and in three of those games, the Birds quarterback recorded multiple scores.

Despite the run of touchdowns, Hurts consistently has higher odds to score a touchdown than Barkley on a weekly basis.

No touchdown odds are listed yet for Sunday night’s clash with the Los Angeles Rams, but it’s likely that Barkley will have the lowest odds to score among Eagles players.

When you widen out to a league-wide perspective, Hurts and Barkley are...

The New York Giants more than once chose Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley.

They’ve decided to bench him in favor of undrafted QB Tommy DeVito.

Saquon Barkley is wreaking havoc with the Philadelphia Eagles not so far from MetLife Stadium.

So far, he’s rushed for league-leading 1,347 yards.

He also leads the league in rush attempts (197) and rushing yards per game (113.7).

He’s also hauled 23 receptions on 29 targets for 210 receiving yards and ten total touchdowns (8 rush, two passes).

That’s why Louis Riddick believes he might even redefine the market for the position in the future....

A past member of Philadelphia’s front office will be looking for a new NFL home.

The New York Jets fired general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.

This news comes after the Jets fired Robert Saleh last month. Since then, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich has gone 1-5. What a mess that team is.

Douglas was originally hired by the Jets in June 2019. Prior to that, he served as the Philadelphia Eagles’ vice president of player personnel since 2016.

The Eagles hired Douglas to be the top “football guy” to pair...

The Cowboys lost again on Monday night, falling 34 to 10 to the Texans. Dallas is now 3-7 overall and 0-5 at home, which means that five NFL teams, two international soccer teams, a college team, and a boxer have more wins at Jerry World during this football season (image from NFL Memes on IG) –

We are laughing! <Ron Burgundy voice> The Cowboys’ last home win was December 30th of 2023, so it’s almost been a full calendar year since Jerry World saw a dub. And with Dak Prescott done for the season, they may not win another...

Think you can figure out which Eagles player we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out in our new guessing game!

We’re back for another day of the Bleeding Green Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game.

We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each new article. That way,...

Inside RB Saquon Barkley’s contract incentives with Eagles - NFL.com
When Saquon Barkley signed with the Eagles, he knew what he was getting — a stellar offensive line, a chance to for a playoff run ... and maybe a vultured touchdown or two. In fact, while Barkley is on his way to a career year, poised to eclipse the 1,312 yards he rushed for in 2022, he “only” has eight TDs — thanks in part to the tush push. Interestingly, as sources explained this week,...

On the Eagles’ Week 12 opponent, NFC playoff picture thoughts, the New York Giants lacking class, and much more.

The Philadelphia Eagles had a chance to enjoy a relaxing weekend of watching football after beating the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Here are some Eagles-focused takeaways from the non-Eagles NFL Week 11 games.

1 - The Eagles’ defense against the Rams’ offense should be a good matchup.

Vic Fangio’s defense has been pretty awesome since the Eagles’ Week 5 bye; his unit has allowed just 11.3 points per game and 190 total yards per game since then.

That defense...

Watch MNF live with us!

The final game of Week 11 will be a Monday Night Football contest between the Houston Texans (6-3) on the road against the Dallas Cowboys (3-6).

The Cowboys lead the all-time series between these intra-state teams, 4-2, and they’ve won four of the five most-recent meetings. They last faced off back in 2022, when the Cowboys won in Dallas, 27-23.

For obvious reasons, Eagles fans should be rooting for the Texans in this contest, both for an extra boost in the NFC East rankings, and also because it’s fun to see bad things happen to...
