The Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive line dominated in 2024, thanks in large part to Jalen Carter.

But I’d […]

The Philadelphia Eagles don’t have a lot of needs heading into the 2025 NFL Draft. Sure, they could use depth at safety, right guard, wide receiver, plus on the defensive line, and are potentially in the market for a new starting tight end if they trade away Dallas Goedert, but outright holes? Right now, the […]

With the 2025 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler took it upon himself to survey the NFL and find some players who are either being overlooked or deserve more positive attention heading into the big event. One player a veteran NFL defensive coach highlighted to Fowler as a prospect to watch is Walter Nolen, […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Azeez Ojulari to a one-year, $4 million deal, it generally earned positive marks from fans of the City of Brotherly Love. Ojulari has been an effective pass-rushing specialist, was a hot topic around the trade deadline last year, and agreed to a deal well below market value despite being the top […]

One of the most incredible aspects of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl win is that they did it without two of the highest-paid defensive players on their roster, Bryce Huff and James Bradberry. That’s right, if you look at the average annual value of the DNP duo, you’ll see that the Eagles are paying nearly […]

The Philadelphia Eagles got it done. Philadelphia stopped Kansas City’s attempt at a three-peat, defeating them 40-22 in Super Bowl 59.

Chris Jones and Jalen Carter are the biggest defensive trench stars ahead of the Super Bowl.

He even compared the second-year NFC champion defender to one Eagles legend, per […]

For the second time in three years, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl.

When Aaron Donald retired from the NFL heading into the 2024 NFL season, fans wondered if another power-rushing three technique would rise up through the rankings to take his spot as the unquestioned top defensive tackle in the league. Well, as it turns out, Donald actually got to play against that very player during his […]

Heading into the 2024 NFL regular season, the Philadephia Eagles had to replace two of the very best players in franchise history: Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce. Drafted in the early 2010s, with Cox coming off the board in the first round of 2012 and Kelce becoming the seal of the 2021 draft in the […]

It was 4th-and-11 at the Philadelphia Eagles 22-yard line. Matthew Stafford dropped back, looked to his right, and chucked the ball up to the Los Angeles Rams’ top receiver, Puka Nacua. And then… well, Stafford wasn’t sure what happened, at least until he heard the ravenous cheer of the Eagles fanbase, which let him know […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles needed a big defensive play in their snowy Divisional Round showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, it felt like Jalen Carter always stepped up and delivered the goods.

The Philadelphia Eagles were teetering on the edge of giving up a big lead in the final moments of their divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.

But hidden on […]

The Philadelphia Eagles’ dominant defensive tackle, Jalen Carter, is already making waves in his first NFL season.

During his Week 14 media session, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was asked a simple question: who benefits most from Jalen Carter’s absolute dominance on the defensive line? On paper, an easy enough question with more than a few answers to choose from, as seemingly every player who shares the field with Carter, from […]

Jalen Carter might just be the Philadelphia Eagles’ best defensive player.

After playing against each other in 2023, when Jalen Carter takes the field for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12, Aaron Donald won’t be on the opposing sidelines… unless, of course, the Los Angeles Rams legend decides to catch the game as a retired special guest.

I […]

Though it may be a bit too early to do a full-on redraft of the 2023 NFL rookie class, if one decided to pursue that undertaking, it’s safe to say Georgia Bulldogs first rounder Jalen Carter certainly would go off the board higher than pick ten to the Philadelphia Eagles. A dominant interior presence who […]

In Week 11’s edition of Thursday Night Football, Jalen Carter did something almost unprecedented for a Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman: he played every single defensive snap.
