The Eagles are betting heaving on Bryce Huff this season.
PHILADELPHIA - Maybe the boldest move of Howie Roseman’s offseason was essentially swapping out the popular Haason Reddick for the ascending Bryce Huff as the centerpiece of a pass rush that disappointed last season as the sequel to the franchise record 70 sacks the defense put up in the 2022 Super Bowl season.
If leading the NFL in pressure percentage as a part-time player for the Jets over the past two seasons can be sustained by Huff with an uptick in playing time, the Eagles may hit a home run. It’s not hyperbole to say this course by Roseman was his most important of the offseason, far bigger than the splashier Saquon Barkley signing on offense or the remaking of the secondary with two top-40 picks in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooer DeJean.Josh Sweat needs to get back to his 2022 Pro Bowl form on the opposite side after agreeing to a salary cut to return and second-year player Nolan Smith must improve dramatically from a rookie season hampered by a shoulder problem.
The depth after the penciled-in four-man rotation starts with third-round pick Jalyx Hunt, a development prospect from Houston Christian. Hunt was a late bloomer physically turning from Ivy League safety at Cornell to 6-foot-3, 253-pound menace off the edge in a small-school environment. Don’t sleep on Zack Baun and Gabe Hall as well. Fangio has started Baun off at as a stacked LB but he played on the edge in New Orleans and could factor in as the Andrew Van Ginkel-like flat player Fangio likes to use.
