EJ Smith

Never been more disappointed in a like total in my life. See you at 2 p.m. ☘️

So, the rumors are true ... @zberm.bsky.social will be on with me for tomorrow's episode of the PHLY Eagles Podcast! We're going to do a mailbag, so send us your questions, #Eagles, books, or otherwise, and we'll go through them tomorrow at 2 p.m.!

Fun show coming up with @ej-smith.bsky.social and @fduffy.bsky.social. Throw it all against the wall. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmxS...

Be sure to check out today's PHLY Eagles Show with @bowulf.bsky.social, @ej-smith.bsky.social, and me as we get into these tendencies and much more: www.youtube.com/live/E3ZEVuf...

Rich's work is excellent. Even if you didn't have a vantage point of the time and energy he put into making each one feel personal, witty, and thoughtful, you could tell it every morning as you read through it. Signing up for what's next is a no-brainer ⬇️

Broke down Iheanachor and a handful of the other top offensive players here in Mobile with @bowulf.bsky.social and @ej-smith.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=udYF...

Can confirm the #Eagles are promoting Joe Kasper to DBs coach/defensive pass-game coordinator, as @cameronwolfe.bsky.social reported. Kasper had interest elsewhere, including with Jonathan Gannon in Green Bay, but decided to stay with the Eagles in the role vacated by Christian Parker.

To close the loop re: Mike McDaniel and the #Eagles, McDaniel had a lengthy interview with the organization virtually this week according to multiple league sources. Not in-person, but the team did have contact with him before McDaniel decided to take the Chargers OC job.

I think @ej-smith.bsky.social might have sold me on Kliff with that "he got Kyler Murray to attempt 50% of his targets to the middle of the field" stat www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GN-...

Quinyon Mitchell now up to four postseason interceptions, which is pretty funny considering he's got none in the regular season and made All-Pro this year anyway lol.

Throwing/kicking into the north side of the stadium has been an adventure with the wind. The #Eagles offense will start with the ball in plus territory after a 25-yard punt going that way lol

Quinyon Mitchell only gets interceptions in the playoffs. His first pick of the year and he rifles the ball into the 20th row in celebration. Big-time response by the #Eagles corner after getting targeted consistently early in the game.

They're bringing the cart over for George Kittle. Doesn't look good. #Eagles

Replay assist to the rescue! Dallas Goedert's second touchdown of the game was initially called back for an ineligible man downfield, but replay assist intervened and overturned the call on the field. Didn't even know that could happen. #Eagles

#Eagles run game is getting rolling. Barkley up to 64 rushing yards on 12 attempts and Tank Bigsby is picking up right where he left off with 20 yards on three straight carries.

Saquon Barkley, pretty good.

This hasn't been a success rate offense this year, but that was a drive more about consistency than explosives. Not a single negative play on that drive from the #Eagles.

Fred Johnson is back in after getting looked at by trainers quickly. #Eagles

Fred Johnson is hurt and coming off. Matt Pryor is in at right tackle. #Eagles

Of all the players I would have expected to be targeted three times in the 49ers' first six plays, Quinyon Mitchell would have been pretty much at the bottom of the list. SF strikes first and quickly largely thanks to two completion to Demarcus Robinson vs. Mitchell. #Eagles

Jalen Hurts has been different this year. More outspoken, more likely to show up to a teammates' event and more aware that the journey he's on can be an inclusive one. On how the #Eagles winning a Super Bowl informed Hurts' pursuit of another this postseason: allphly.com/eagles-jalen...

Very interesting context to Jalen Hurts’ season here from EJ. #WifeGuy

The #Eagles will host the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday at 4:30 p.m.

Big-time blocking by Cam Latu on that Tank Bigsby touchdown run

Brandon Johnson is questionable to return with an ankle injury. #Eagles

Looked like Tanner McKee had Kylen Granson open there, but instead throws into traffic for his first career INT. That's two straight trips to the red zone without any points for the #Eagles, who are getting the help they need from the Lions to make this game consequential.

Jalyx Hunt has the most interceptions (3) on a team with Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Zack Baun this season. Insane. #Eagles

Moro Ojomo just gout out of the medical tent and took his spot on the bench. #Eagles

Tank Bigsby just took somebody's soul. #Eagles

With Brandon Johnson out, Michael Carter moves to safety and Mac McWilliams takes Carter's place at slot cornerback. #Eagles

Brandon Johnson is walking off on his own power. Mac McWilliams has come into the defensive huddle in his place, which is interesting. #Eagles

Brandon Johnson is hurt. #Eagles

DeVonta Smith has now surpassed 1,000 receiving yards on the season. He's the only #Eagles receiver with a target so far today lol. I'd suspect his evening is over before too much longer.

Ahhh yes, a classic 10-minute, 17-play drive that ends in zero points for the Commanders right there. #Eagles

DeVonta Smith is starting, presumably in pursuit of the 44 yards he needs to surpass 1,000 receiving yards on the season. He gets 17 on the first play from scrimmage, 27 left to go. #Eagles

You love to see it.

#Eagles offense has now gone three-and-out on four consecutive series, the last of which comes in response to a Buffalo scoring drive. Aagainst one of the worst run defenses in the NFL ...

After spending the offseason in support of banning the Tush Push, the Bills run their version of it to go within a score of the #Eagles midway through the fourth quarter.

A.J. Brown has now surpassed 1,000 receiving yards on the season. A year with plenty of frustration for Brown, but he's been productive down the stretch for the #Eagles nonetheless.

Lol Britan Covey just got smoked and responded by shooting right back up and jumping up and down for 10 seconds.

Jalen Carter is back. The #Eagles DT conceded he won't be 100% this season, but he's on the board in his first game since undergoing a procedure on both shoulders. That's his third sack of the season.

Jaelan Phillips is coming out with the #Eagles defense for the start of this series.

The good news: Jalen Hurts has been dynamic on this series with a few tight-window throws and some extended plays out of structure. The bad news: Hurts took a shot on the sideline and seems to be in some pain as a result. Looked like a late hit by Cam Lewis, fwiw. #Eagles

Barkley is back in the game. #Eagles

Saquon Barkley was slow to get up after that two-yard loss. He limped off to the sideline #Eagles.

Jaelan Phillips is out of the medical tent and has his helmet. He's back with the rest of the #Eagles defensive linemen on the bench now.
