Episode notes

- The Eagles' biggest defensive concerns are cornerback depth and pass rush consistency.
- Fangio will likely scheme around corner issues rather than rely solely on blitzing to generate pressure.

- Losing Tucker Kraft significantly reduces their two-tight-end threat and play-design balance.
