Check out the latest news on the Philadelphia Eagles…
Underappreciated Players: Moro Ojomo
Among the Eagles, Moro Ojomo stands out as a significant name entering the 2025 season. Although he was a seventh-round pick in 2023 and has only played 456 defensive snaps, he’s poised for an expanded role after Milton Williams left in free agency. Ojomo recorded an impressive pass-rushing win rate of 18.2% last season, just behind Chris Jones, and will benefit from playing alongside the formidable Jalen Carter, allowing him to capitalize on opportunities in 2025.
Interior Defensive Line Insights
The Eagles’ interior defensive line boasts depth, but the focus is primarily on Jalen Carter, who had a heavy workload in 2024 with 1,027 snaps. Ojomo’s snap count is expected to rise significantly this season, filling the void left by Williams. Meanwhile, rookies like Ty Robinson may also take on similar responsibilities. The Eagles’ depth last year was somewhat limited, with only five players contributing significantly, making Carter’s health crucial to the team’s success.
2025 Schedule Challenges for Hurts
As Jalen Hurts faces a roster of strong opposing quarterbacks in the upcoming season, including Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, the challenges ahead are notable. While Hurts is currently the best quarterback in the NFC East, it’s essential to recognize the rising talent in the league. Players like Jayden Daniels have shown promise and even beat the Eagles in a recent matchup, indicating that the competition will be fierce in 2025.
Debate Over Tush Push Ban
During a recent session on competition and health safety, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie advocated for the continuation of the “tush push” play, arguing it is statistically safe and effective. Center Jason Kelce supported this stance, emphasizing the play’s value to the game. Meanwhile, discussions continue around its regulation, with the NFL indicating that they will reassess its status after observing its implementation this season.
Merchandise and Trademark Issues
The Eagles are launching new merchandise related to their infamous “Tush Push” play, but interestingly, it lacks the original phrase. This stems from a trademark issue, as an application for “Tush Push” was filed before the Eagles could secure it, leading them to trademark “Brotherly Shove” instead. This situation showcases the complexities of branding in sports.
Off-Field Anecdotes
Despite their recent success, the Eagles’ management has garnered attention for making unconventional analogies, including some that are considered inappropriate. These quirky comments highlight the personality of the franchise as it balances its competitive achievements with the colorful dynamics of its leadership.
