Vic Fangio on Jonathan Greenard: ‘Practice is important. He’s had next to none.’

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio addressed the media following a Sunday night loss to the Washington Commanders, discussing the impact of Jonathan Greenard's lack of practice time. Fangio explained that Greenard missed training camp, missed the first two weeks of the season, and has remained limited due to injuries. The defensive coordinator emphasized that practice reps are essential for any player to execute the system and find a groove.

Fangio also evaluated the defensive unit's overall inconsistency, noting that self-scouting takes place weekly rather than waiting for the bye week. In addition, he evaluated individual performances such as Jordan Davis playing through a hand issue and previewed the challenge posed by the New York Giants' versatile offensive scheme.
