Top Contenders for the 2024 NFL Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards: My Top 5 Picks – NFL.com
1) Quinyon Mitchell. In the current landscape of the NFL, it’s often the quarterbacks that steal the spotlight, particularly when it comes to prestigious awards. However, I’ve identified Mitchell as a standout who has made an undeniable impact on the field. Since the Eagles’ Week 5 bye, he has emerged as a formidable lockdown cornerback. Over the past six games, Mitchell has remarkably limited opposing receivers to fewer than 25 receiving yards as their primary defender, according to Next Gen Stats. His defensive prowess is crucial for the Eagles’ strategy moving forward. […] 3) Cooper DeJean. The Eagles’ general manager Howie Roseman has seen tremendous success with his rookie cornerbacks, as DeJean has transformed Vic Fangio’s defense since entering the starting lineup in Week 6. His physical style of play has fortified the Eagles’ defense, making him a key player against both the pass and run. In the last six weeks, he has surrendered only 6.4 yards per catch on 25 receptions, showcasing his elite coverage skills as per PFF.

A Closer Look at the Race for Defensive Rookie of the Year: Jared Verse vs. Quinyon Mitchell – Turf Show Times
This analysis reveals two exceptional players who have dominated their respective positions, making the race for Defensive Rookie of the Year much more competitive than anticipated. Much like the dynamic duo of Sauce Gardner and Nick Bosa from previous drafts, it’s refreshing to witness two elite rookies excelling so early in their careers. However, this level of talent implies that one may inevitably be overshadowed when awards season arrives. The final seven weeks of the season will be pivotal as both players continue to make significant contributions on the field. While traditional metrics such as team success and individual matchups shouldn’t overshadow their achievements, the influence they exert on game day will be hard to ignore.

Daniel Jones Released by the Giants: What’s Next for the Eagles? – BGN
With the Giants branding themselves as ‘The Quarterback Factory,’ speculation arises regarding the Philadelphia Eagles’ potential interest in Daniel Jones. The Eagles have a connection through star running back Saquon Barkley, who is Jones’ former teammate. Currently, the Eagles have three quarterbacks on their roster, but bringing Jones into the mix could spark discussions. It’s unlikely they would replace Kenny Pickett, who has held the backup position all season despite lackluster performance. Additionally, letting go of Tanner McKee would not be a wise move given his potential.

Jordan Davis’s Impact on the Eagles’ Defense: Beyond the Stats – NBCSP
When evaluating Jordan Davis, one might look at the numbers and question his effectiveness: one sack, two tackles for loss, one quarterback hit, and sixteen tackles. However, a deeper analysis shows his substantial influence on the Eagles’ top-ranked defense. Davis emphasizes team success and prioritizes his role on the field. “It’s all about what I can do for the team,” he mentioned after practice, highlighting his team-oriented mentality. While traditional stats may not capture his contributions, Davis excels at occupying blockers, stuffing the run, and allowing linebackers to make plays. His disruptive presence is invaluable, even if it doesn’t always show up in the box score.

NFL Week 12 Predictions, Schedule, Odds, Injuries, and Fantasy Insights – ESPN
One storyline to watch is the heavy reliance on running back Saquon Barkley, who is currently leading the NFL with 1,347 scrimmage yards. As teams focus on stifling Philadelphia’s ground game, the pressure will shift to quarterback Jalen Hurts and the aerial attack. A crucial matchup to watch involves receiver A.J. Brown against a Rams defense that has allowed 18 touchdown passes this season. Brown’s performance, averaging 88.3 receiving yards per game, places him fourth in the league, trailing only Nico Collins, Ja’Marr Chase, and Justin Jefferson.

Projecting the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2025 NFL Draft Needs: Focus on Edge Support and Offensive Weapons – PFF
Round 1 (29): Targeting EDGE Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M. With Josh Sweat set to hit free agency in 2025, the Eagles should consider adding a young edge rusher in the first round. Stewart has displayed strong pass-rushing capabilities this season, achieving a 67.0 PFF pass-rushing grade, while also excelling in run defense with an impressive 86.4 PFF run-defense grade.

Honoring Legends: Eric Allen and Ricky Watters Forge a Unique Bond as They Approach the Pro Football Hall of Fame – PE.com
Despite never playing together in Philadelphia, Eric Allen and Ricky Watters hold immense respect for one another. “Ricky’s versatility was key to his greatness,” Allen remarked. “He created mismatches, which is essential in football. I respect him deeply for doing everything a running back should do—catching passes, blocking, and powering through short-yardage situations, while also being elusive for explosive runs.” Watters reciprocated the admiration, highlighting Allen’s all-around skills as a cornerback. Both players are now semifinalists for the Class of 2025 in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which could culminate in a shared honor in Canton, Ohio.

Injury Report for Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys: Key Updates Ahead of Week 12 – Hogs Haven
The Washington Commanders enter their Week 12 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with the advantage of a 10-day break following their appearance on Thursday Night Football against the Eagles. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are facing a short week after their loss to the Houston Texans. The two teams, which opened and closed Week 11, will clash at Northwest Stadium in Landover at 1 PM on Sunday. Washington’s injury report indicates that only cornerback Marshon Lattimore is out due to a hamstring injury sustained after being acquired from the Saints, and he has not practiced or played since suffering the injury in Week 8.

Cowboys Injury Update: Key Players Out Against Commanders – Blogging The Boys
Following the Cleveland Browns’ victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers during Thursday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves with only four teams ahead of them in the standings. Despite their current position, there’s no indication that the Cowboys are intentionally tanking; rather, they’re struggling with a depleted roster. Ahead of their matchup against former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his spirited Washington Commanders, the Cowboys will be missing several crucial players this Sunday. This is the final injury report for the week.

Key Takeaways from Daniel Jones’s Release by the New York Giants – Big Blue View
There will undoubtedly be interest in Daniel Jones following his release. Despite his flaws, he remains a better option than many backup quarterbacks in the league. I can envision a playoff-contending team adding Jones to their practice squad, eventually elevating him to their active roster. He will likely clear waivers before signing with a team as a free agent, as no team will claim him and inherit his remaining salary. It’s not out of the question that Jones could wear the uniforms of the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles. Given the Eagles’ Super Bowl aspirations, bringing in Jones could enhance their backup situation behind Jalen Hurts, especially if he were to face the Eagles in a crucial game at MetLife Stadium.

The Surprising Release of Daniel Jones: A Cautionary Tale for NFL Teams – SB Nation
Jones’s release serves as a critical lesson in accountability for franchises, particularly as the Giants cited his handling of “the situation” as a key factor. When they decided to extend his contract, many questioned the move, especially with Saquon Barkley’s departure looming. Was his resurgence in 2022 indicative of genuine improvement, or merely a product of a new offensive scheme and favorable scheduling? The unfolding events in New York may provide the answer to that pressing question.
