“The Athletic Football Show” is previewing all 32 teams leading up to the start of the 2026 NFL season. Below are select quotes from the show’s preview of the Philadelphia Eagles. The quotes are edited for clarity. You can watch the whole preview on YouTube and in the embedded video below, or listen to the full NFC East preview wherever you get your podcasts.Dave Helman on what excites him most about the Eagles: A defense that I am certain is going to be very good and has at least the chance to be the very best in football. Every time I get nervous about the Jonathan Greenard situation and the fact that he hasn’t had a training camp, I just think about the defensive tackles the Eagles have available to them. And then you look at the depth chart on the edge, it may not be spectacular outside of Greenard, but they’re just so deep.Derrik Klassen on what he’s watching the first month of the season: How do Jalen Hurts and, to a slightly different extent, the offensive line take to a new offense? It’s going to be a little bit more under center. They’re going to try to hit some of this play-action stuff a little bit more. And they’ve flirted with some of that stuff, I think, over the past couple of years, but it’s never felt like it was the core principle of the offense.
