Opponent perspective on Philadelphia’s upcoming matchup.

The Philadelphia Eagles are traveling to SoFi Stadium this weekend to take on the Los Angeles Rams. It’s a sneaky important game for the Birds.

In order to preview this Week 12 battle, I reached out to our enemies over at Turf Show Times. The ebullient Evan Craig kindly took the time to answer my questions about this upcoming tilt. Let’s take a look at the answers. [For my answers about the Eagles, stay tuned to TST.]

**1 - The Rams are 5-5 after starting 1-4. What went wrong initially and what’s since...

Bryce Huff will miss time with his wrist injury. That’s according to all of the beats, who MYSTERIOUSLY tweeted the same thing at the same time, citing a “source” –

Huff was playing better during the winning streak. He’s got 2.5 sacks and a stuff since the Cleveland game. The Eagles will look to Jalyx Hunt for increased snaps, or so we thought. The beats say he was off to the side at Wednesday’s practice. The Birds still have Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith, and Brandon Graham at the EDGE position.

Interestingly enough, in the fallout of the Jets being...

Philadelphia’s primary punt returner could be back on the field soon.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced three roster moves on Wednesday afternoon. An overview:

• WR Britain Covey’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve was opened.
• DT Siaki Ika was signed to the practice squad.
• WR Kyle Philips was released from the practice squad.

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.

BRITAIN COVEY

Covey suffered a shoulder injury back in Week 3. At the time, he said he expected to miss at least six weeks. The Eagles placed him on injured reserve.

At...

Philadelphia’s big free agent signing could be set to miss multiple games.

Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Bryce Huff is set to undergo a procedure on his wrist this Thursday, according to multiple reports. Nick Sirianni confirmed as much during his Wednesday press conference.

Huff is expected to have a chance to return to the field later this season.

Huff originally suffered an injury in warmups prior to the Eagles’ Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 3. He was limited to a season-low six snaps in that contest. Playing with a cast on his left hand (as pictured...

The Eagles’ tackles are stalwart defenders of the free market because they didn’t allow the Commies to get their grubby Marxist mitts on Jalen Hurts:

Mailata had just come off IR and was playing his first game in a month. Johnson is 34 and has played nine of 10 games this season.

In six Mailata games, Pro Football Focus says he’s allowed seven hurries and one sack, so eight total pressures. He’s pass blocked on 220 of his 396 snaps, which is 55.5%, and committed...

Vic Fangio speaks every week, but doesn’t say much. One-sentence answers, maybe two or three if you’re lucky. That being said, this was somewhat interesting from Tuesday’s press conference:

When you have such a young defense, what are the biggest concerns you have? Especially as you get deeper into the season with a young secondary. Really, all three levels, you have young guys. (Bob Brookover)

*VIC FANGIO: Nothing, really. Back in the day, you used to hear rookies hitting the ‘rookie wall.’ I don’t think that rookie wall exists anymore because back in the day, you’d have...

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,...

Jalen Hurts appears on Good Morning America to talk about his foundation - NBCSP
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made an appearance on Good Morning America on Tuesday morning to talk about the Jalen Hurts Foundation and his Keep it Cool Initiative. Hurts, 26, has pledged $5,000 for every touchdown he scores this season that will go to his TDs for AC campaign to support his Keep it Cool Initiative, which puts air conditioning into Philadelphia schools. “Competitively, the main thing is to always go out...

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....
