Here’s a player-by-player review of how the Eagles linebackers performed Sunday against the Browns, after having re-watched the game. Click here to find all of the game reviews.
Jason Babin usually punts on questions about the defense that don’t concern the front four. He is a defensive lineman. It is what he knows, it is what he cares about. He doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head — just one set in the front that’s always honed in on the quarterback.
Following the nail-biting win over the Browns on Sunday, though, Babin was talking linebackers. And more specifically he was talking about DeMeco Ryans.
Throughout the course of the week, we’ll be providing position-by-position previews of the entire Eagles roster. Click here to get to all of them. Today, we cover the linebackers.
This afternoon, I posed a simple question to players in the Eagles locker room: Based on what you’ve seen, which teammate do you think is poised to have a really good year?
Selection was based simply on who was available. But it just so happened to be four defensive players and four offensive players. Here are their responses.
With national predictions rolling in fast and furious, it’s time to once again round up what people are saying about the Eagles.
You may be concerned, but DeMeco Ryans is not.
A good portion of the fan base is growing anxious about their new middle linebacker following a quiet preseason. After such a long wait for a bona fide MIKE to step in, there is trepidation that the two-time Pro Bowler might not live up to the billing.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” said Ryans of the doubters. “I don’t take it into consideration. My job is to be credible to my teammates, to go out and be accountable to what we’re doing in our defense and our scheme, and that’s the only thing that matters to me.
John Clayton has released his quarterback rankings, and it has some good news and bad news for Eagles fans.
As DeMeco Ryans and Mychal Kendricks walked off the practice field Wednesday afternoon, the veteran tossed the rookie his helmet to carry inside.
Around the Novacare Complex, this is about the extent of hazing that takes place under Andy Reid’s watch. But when Kendricks got stopped by a handful of reporters, he offered the helmet back to Ryans to take to the locker room.
The veteran wasn’t having it. And all Kendricks could do was hold on to it or risk a penalty from his peers.
