Will the Eagles have a rotation at inside linebacker? Will Cooper DeJean shake up the depth chart? Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio provided some answers.
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio watches over a drill at Eagles training camp at the NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024.in the direction of Jalen Hurts, some of them of the exotic variety. There were fewer Sunday, but the defense forced plenty of pressure against a banged-up offensive line.Blitzing hasn’t necessarily been a forte or a frequency of a Fangio-led defense, but this training camp has featured a lot of it.
Devin White and Zack Baun remain the most probable combination of inside linebackers to start the game Week 1 in Brazil, but Dean’s ability to get after the quarterback and be around the football will make it hard for the Eagles to keep him off the field. Inside linebacker is not a typical position with a lot of in-series substitutions, but Fangio didn’t rule out the possibility of some sort of rotation.“We’re open to that,” he said. “I do think you’re better off with a set group. Sometimes it’s hard to get guys in and out. You don’t want to have to sub to do stuff. Either way. I’ve done it both ways.”
