One of the biggest winners through this whole thing that we aren’t talking about: Milton Williams.
Williams broke out for the Eagles last season, won a Super Bowl. NEARLY signed with the Panthers, but changed his mind, signing w/ New England on a 4-year $104 million dollar contract.
Picked up right where he left off, and is now back in the Super Bowl after being one of the team’s best players on defense. It genuinely could not have worked out better for him.
Not much of a reach to say that Chiefs OC Matt Nagy has an important role in preparations for the #Eagles defense in Super Bowl LIX, but no one on staff has a greater understanding of Vic Fangio, his scheme and play calling.
Fangio did remarkable work under Nagy with the Bears, taking an aging 4-3 defense, adapting a totally different system and making it one of the best in the NFL in a span of four years.
Years later after they parted, Nagy said Fangio was talking about a new coverage he had come up with, as sort of tease. Not sure if it's part of his scheme in Philly, but one of the strengths of the DC's coverages is that some are hard to decipher pre-snap.
There will be a play-calling chess match between Andy Reid and Fangio. But you can be certain Nagy will try to be a step ahead of his former DC in Chicago in game-planning, and the same will obviously hold true for Fangio.
26 of Saquon’s 55 rush attempts (47%) in their two games v WAS went for 2 yards or less. A pretty staggering number. It’s 37% of 2 or less vs all other tms this year. He also had three runs of 23+ as well. He has been the ultimate boom or bust v WAS but generally they’ve done a good job on him this year
It’s time once again to announce our SIS College Football All-American Team.
Curious as to how and why we made the decisions we did?
