Moro Ojomo is/should break out this year. Seems like he has really taken the offseason and this opportunity seriously and is ready to play a big part of the DT rotation this year. All the advanced pass rushing metrics from last year show this guy "should" be ready to take the next step. All reports so far in camp is he is just killing it every day.

0 Career sacks, not even .5

That is definitely changing this year, playing next to Carter, he should have fun this year and parlay that into a solid contract for a guy taken very late in the draft.

Yup! Excited to see him play this year.

So far he has been tearing it up in camp (admittedly against Steen, mostly) but has been in the backfield disrupting all the time. The hope was that he could be 80% of Milton Williams’ production- he could very well be more than that. With Jordan Davis in “the best shape of his life”, Thomas Booker looking very solid and Gabe Hall and Ty Robinson, DT is the strength of the Defense.

At EDGE, Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt both look to have picked up where they left off last year and show improvement. I worry about depth behind them, though. Ojulari, Uche and Ogonkwo seem like JAGs, to me.

CB today showed maybe some slight movement towards Ringo being edged out in favor of Adoree Jackson. It’s waaaaay early, but today, after rotating every other day being first with the 1s and splitting reps 50:50, Jackson started and took about 70%. The Eagles want Ringo to win the job: he’s young and was drafted here. But Fangio dgaf about draft picks or contracts- better player wins. Woth watching what happens with the % split moving forward.

My bold prediction- if Mukuba’s shoulder injury isn’t serious or lingering, he is the starter Week 1. And if he isn’t ready to go, Justin Simmons gets signed after the 1st ore season game. Sydney Brown is a hard-hitting guy with a good motor, but he is too undisciplined and isn’t fluid enough of an athlete to be the starter.

Philly should have a scary defense (at least the front 7) for many years. Picking at the end of the 1st round every year has allowed them to take BPA and in their case, has usually been defensive studs falling into their laps. Their depth is crazy good! You'd think teams would be reaching out to them to see if any can be had in trade. I've been picking up shares of Ojomo and Hunt in every league I can. They can be had for dirt cheap (if anything) and everything I've been reading about them has been nothing but positive. For Philly's sake, and MY sake, I hope these guys progress like expected. Will certainly be fun to watch all these studs flying around making plays. Since I am a student of "Defense Wins Championships", I can totally see these guys deep in the playoffs for several years. Could be another mini "dynasty" like the Chiefs.

Good look at who is impressing, and who isn't, so far at camp.

Nice things to see in the "up" group, especially that we might have 4 strong LBs once Dean is back, and no surprises (yet) among the "down" group.

Elijah Cooks seems to be running away with the Hank Baskett/Paul Turner training camp WR MVP.

Thank goodness, those "down" group guys aren't guys you'll expect to contribute much.
