Vic Fangio admits Eagles defense feels impact of high snap count

Vic Fangio, defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, acknowledged on October 6 that the team's defense suffered from a heavy workload during their game against the Los Angeles Rams, where they played 77 defensive snaps, escalating to 83 with penalties. Fangio’s admission marks a shift from his previous stance, as he usually dismissed such concerns. The Eagles are also managing ongoing communication issues in their secondary, with Andrew Mukuba and Marcus Epps rotating at safety. Fangio plans to continue this rotation until one player distinguishes himself. Additionally, veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II has been signed to the active roster, potentially adding depth to the safety position. The Eagles need to rectify defensive communication while balancing player workload to enhance performance.
