Philadelphia Eagles: Josh Sweat
Philadelphia Eagles: Josh Sweat
September 11, 2024
Josh Sweat played 61% of the Eagles' defensive snaps in the opener, leading the team's edge rushers in playing time. His usage in the game reflected a deeper rotation of defensive players, which diverges from Fangio's typical approach, where individual linemen often see significantly higher snap counts. While Fangio acknowledged the need for the defensive front to generate more pressure, he indicated that the rotation currently in place may be a strategy to manage players as the season unfolds.

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio explains Bryce Huff's limited role

Vic Fangio, the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, addressed Bryce Huff's limited playing time in his debut during a press conference following the team's win against the Green Bay Packers. Fangio indicated that Huff, the team's notable offseason signing, hasn't yet made a distinct impact among the Eagles' edge rushers.

Although Huff performed comparably to the team's other edge rushers, Fangio stated the 26-year-old must enhance his run defense skills to secure a larger role. Additionally, Fangio confirmed Nakobe Dean as the starter at linebacker, even with Devin White approaching a return from injury.
