Linebacker remains a question while Sean Desai's defense took a step back after the previous week's impressive performance against Miami.
Watching how Washington carved up the middle of the Eagles’ defense, it’s easy to understand why the Eagles are “poking around” the linebacker market ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline according to the Athletic., the Eagles have some avenues to add another player. They’ve already traded most of their original Day 3 picks with four compensatory picks coming to replace them, but they still have a conditional fifth-round pick from the Jalen Reagor trade to use in a deal.
Former Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks, currently on the 4-4 Minnesota Vikings with Kirk Cousins now out for the year, is another veteran player who could make sense. The 31-year-old’s on a low-cost expiring contract, which could mean he’s attainable for less than Franklin while still boasting years of experience.
Going into the Detroit Lions’ Monday night game, the Eagles have a 1.5-game lead for the top spot in the conference and a two-game lead in the division entering a matchup with the Dallas Cowboys next weekend. The Eagles are the only team with just one loss and are beginning the daunting stretch of their schedule with the necessary breathing room to stay atop the conference for a while.
One concern, though — call it a yellow flag — is how easily Washington offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy stayed ahead of Sean Desai’s secondary in each of the games. The Eagles eventually pivoted, disguising their coverages pre-snap more often and relying more heavily on man coverage. Bieniemy countered by using bunch sets to complicate things and the Eagles were gashed a few times as a result toward the end of the game.
