00:00But the one thing that really stood out to me, that defense of the Eagles is legit.

00:05I mean, you know, we could go through the season and say, wow, they look good, they look good, they look good.

00:10But this is a very good offensive team in the Buffalo Bills.

00:14And they went in there and they kicked them in the mouth, Andrew.

00:18Yeah, you know, all three levels, Ricky.

00:20It was the return of Jalen Carter who picked up a sack and a block point after attempt.

00:24It was the second level.

00:25I thought Jihad Campbell played really well in the absence of N'Kobe Dean.

00:29And then they're getting good performances from players like Marcus Epps, Adoree Jackson,

00:34and Jalen Phillips has really found his way after being acquired in the trade deadline.

00:39And they're all really coming together.

00:40They rally to the football and they play with such physicality and tone setting mindset

00:46that I think when you look at it, it's really derived from, I think, N'Kobe Dean's personality

00:53and what he envisions the defense looking like.

00:55But also you have to give credit to Vic Fangio because he is never set in his ways

01:01and he caters to the strengths of his players and they're all playing at a very high level.

01:05Yeah, we're going to dive deep into Vic Fangio later on in the show.

01:08But the one thing that kind of stands out to me is the trenches.

01:11Again, I mean, Mauro Ijomo was really good in yesterday's game.

01:15He had a couple sacks.

01:15Jalen Carter, outstanding in his return.

01:19Jordan Davis is just Jordan Davis.

01:22But those guys are the trendsetters to me.

01:24Those guys are the guys that are kind of pushing the envelope.

01:27And you know what?

01:28You saw it in Josh Allen yesterday.

01:29They were all over him.

01:30They were forcing him to do things that he didn't want to do.

01:33But those guys up front are best in the league.

01:36You know what?

01:37I know a lot of people bring up a lot of names.

01:39But as a grouping, is this not the best group in the league?

01:43I think so.

01:44And you mentioned Mauro Ijomo.

01:46You mentioned Jay Lux Hunt.

01:47Those two players alone combined for three sacks and five quarterback hits against the Bills.

01:52And I just think for Mauro Ijomo, six sacks on the season.

01:56His numbers have already eclipsed what the Eagles got from Milton Williams last season.

02:01Now, Milton Williams is a very well-rounded player, not taking anything away from him.

02:04But the Eagles saw something in Mauro Ijomo to be able to step in and fulfill that role.

02:09And he's really answered the bell.
