Eagles defense film breakdown + Eagles-Falcons preview coming later this week! A LOT to talk about on the defense film so we had to break it up

My Monday column recapping everything you need to know from Sunday's action now has a clickable table of contents for easier navigation. Check it out!

Before Monday Night Football kicks off, dive into Shawn Syed's Monday Morning Mashup recapping everything you need to know from Sunday's Action! sumersports.com/the-zone/the-m…

New column from me The Ringer every Tuesday: Under Review! Don't panic about the Bengals. There's no longer a case for Deshaun Watson's upside. Rams are now an "infrastructure" team Antonio Pierce, you can't be doing that. Jets/49ers theringer.com/nfl/2024/9/10/…

Last year, Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers would shuffle the running back to the side from under center to quickly create an empty set that the defense had to adjust to. In Week 1, Shanahan added in the wrinkle of handing the ball to the offset back

Loved this low line drive kick from Brayden Narveson and the Packers. Landed right at the 20 and became a hard ball to field

Bills using two double teams, a mini pull, and a lead blocker on a big kick return

Another low line drive/bouncing kick creating issues for the returner

On the DeeJay Dallas touchdown return you can see the Cardinals aligned with extra players inside while leaving both edge coverage players unblocked It is similar to how NFL teams approach the run game: condense and force DBs into tough tackle situations

Bears get a double team, a kick out puller, and the second returner leading through on what turns into counter blocking on a return Coverage player follows the puller but it becomes 10 on 9 blocking when leaving an edge player + the kicker unblocked

New Philly Special! Shawn Syed joins me to break down the Eagles' defensive film and look ahead to the Falcons. Quinyon Mitchell - what a debut Fangio doesn't stick to Fangio things What happened to the pass rush? Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean, and more! open.spotify.com/episode/6fG7Yg…

New Philly Special! Sheil Kapadia and I went through the film from the Eagles defense against the Packers: *What did Vic Fangio show us? *A strong showing for Quinyon Mitchell *Zach Baun's versatility *What are we worried about going forward? open.spotify.com/episode/6fG7Yg…

Enjoyed going through the Eagles defense film! Will be tracking how much Fangio continues to rotate a safety to the nickel side, how much spot drop zone we see, and how the run defense continues to look against different opponents

Nice job fielding the ball off a short hop

Broncos cross blocking behind a double team to the bottom of the screen

Another roller through the landing zone that ends up with a return short of the ~30 yard line average on returns

Stats & Scheme w/ Shawn Syed & Tej Seth 🟢open.spotify.com/episode/50dVRk… 🍎podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wee…

Quinyon Mitchell was fantastic in his debut. Eagles gave up 7 20+ gains - the most of any team. Fangio broke tendencies - more blitzing, spot-dropping. Zack Baun with a fun, surprising performance. Talked about it all on this episode!
