In Roob’s Observations: Has the league figured out Vic Fangio?

Reuben Frank questions whether NFL offenses have figured out Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, noting the unit's sharp decline through seven games. The Eagles rank 29th in yards allowed and 27th in points allowed despite retaining nine starters from the previous season. Frank highlights that the defense has struggled late in games, surrendering 14 second-half points per contest, which ranks third-worst across the league.

Beyond defensive concerns, Frank examines other team issues, including Tanner McKee's lack of explosive passing plays and Jalen Hurts' uncertain long-term future. He also notes positive developments, praising rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon's progress and Saquon Barkley establishing a franchise-record rushing average of 5.1 yards per carry.
