Here’s our weekly look at the Eagles’ defensive line production.
The Eagles had quite a few “close but no sack” moments against Robert Griffin III. In fairness to Jim Washburn’s unit, Griffin makes defensive linemen look silly on a weekly basis.
Here are the numbers. Sacks, hurries (a stat kept by the coaches) and pressure percentage (frequency with with each player notches a sack or hurry, given the opportunities).
Here are 10 things to know about how the Eagles’ defense matches up with the Redskins’ offense:
Amid a season of disappointment, Eagles rookie Fletcher Cox is providing a bright spot.
We handed out evaluations for the offense earlier. Here are grades for the Eagles’ defense at the midpoint of the season.
Rookie Fletcher Cox has been really good against the run, but he’s in a pass-rushing rut. Here’s the weekly breakdown of the defensive line.
I know many of you don’t care to re-live Monday night’s loss to the Saints, but here are a handful of plays that caught my eye when I watched the All-22 film of their defensive snaps.
Here’s a look at snap counts for the Eagles during their Week 9 loss against the Saints. We’ll go position-by-position.
Jason Babin‘s reaction to the “vile” chants he heard at the Linc last week has not gone unnoticed. With the Eagles mired in a three-game losing streak and falling short of expectations for a second-straight year, Babin’s comments have been met with sharp resistance by a weary fan base.

Jason Babin — or at least his Fan Club handle on Twitter — sent a message about loyalty to the Eagles fan base recently.
What was he getting at, exactly?
“Really I was speaking to, during the game there was a good section of fans chanting some of the most vile things I’ve ever heard — not just at a football game, but in life in general,” said Babin. “Talking about attacking Coach, talking about people’s wives and kids and chanting them.
