2025 Eagles Thread

interesting comments by Jimmy Kempski. The trade deadline is in 8 days, the Birds won't play again before the deadline. And BG has yet to play since un-retiring, and Nolan Smith is (hopefully) coming off IR in the near future. That's a lot of variables, yet the Birds need to decide by Tuesday a week whether they need to add at DE.
They need to acquire a DE. Lack of pass rush can’t be why this team falls short this season. It’s a known weakness and one 5-sack game against the lowly Giants doesn’t change that.
So you don’t think BG and Nolan Smith can fill in the gap?
I’ll be surprised if they make any ‘high’ level move. IMO Chubb in Miami makes the most sense unless Vic nichts it
Yep.
Nickerson played 8 snaps, while Sydney Brown, Marcus Epps, and Mac McWilliams each played 7 snaps.
The Eagles are terrible on third down
Why have the Eagles been among the league's worst with the football on third down?

Once on the trade block, and after taking a pay cut, Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is having a career season
It once appeared that Dallas Goedert wouldn't be back with the Eagles. Now he's having his best year and leads the team in TD catches.

i figured that would happen, I just didnt know they needed the roster spot. Maybe for BG?
Jakorian Bennett is probably more the reason for Nickerson being released/re-signed.
They have another week for BG. Perhaps that's why Titus Leo was released. I'm not sure when they anticipate Nolan Smith returning, though the Birds haven't been all that forthcoming about that.
I’d hoped that Smith would be back for Green Bay. His injury was described as a strain, so the IR stint felt like an abundance of caution vs necessity.
hmm, an interesting trade. The Birds got a CB, which didn't cost them a ton. My reaction when I heard about the trade, was good, they got a CB. However, upon learning more about it, it's somewhat confusing. Michael Carter has played almost exclusively at the nickel CB (in the slot). I think he's only played outside for @ 40 snaps in his NFL career. DeJean is the Birds' slot CB, so what's the thinking here? Time will tell.
part of my confusion is that when Fangio spoke with the press this week (Tuesday), I think, he said this:
Some scenarios:
1. They’re going to try DeJean outside. This contradicts Fangio’s comments yesterday.
2. They plan to ditch Jackson and/or Ringo, and this adds more depth in preparation. They then add a starter outside or hope Bennet can do it.
3. Fangio thinks Carter can play outside.
Hmmm IDK. I think the OL score might be a little high. I wish the DL was separated by the DT v DE. The DT have been average the DE close to below average. IMO
Who is new Eagles DB Michael Carter II, and how can he help the defense?
He played safety in college and nickelback for the Jets, so where and how does new Eagles DB Michael Carter II fit into Vic Fangio's scheme

Fair but then you just bench him and you're no worse off than you are now
Howie doing Howie things... what a steal for the Eagles!!! Huge pass rusher and depth to the Dline. Setting things up for the playoff run.
@Tom McAndrew I am loving this trade and what Howie has done so far setting this team up for a playoff run.
Link: Eagles!
