With as much parity as there is in this league, the difference between wins and losses is always a couple players getting injured. The 2022 Eagles didnt lose a single starter to injury for more than a couple weeks.

The 2022 Eagles also had a significantly more talented defense than ours even with a healthy Ojulari & Robinson.

The problem is, neither one of those guys should have been our #1 at this point. That was wishful thinking by our front office.

That’s 100% debate-able…
You think that going into year 2 of the rebuild, our roster should be so stacked that 1st and 2nd round picks from the past two years should be riding the bench? I mean I wish, but there are like 3 teams in the league that can do that, its not exactly realistic.

Do we know the extent of Darius Robinson's injury?

Not yet but needing imaging and being carted off sure doesn’t sound good

Yes, but I still want to hope for something better.
Hopefully a high ankle sprain or something like that. That usually requires a cart and imaging!

FOr sure and could likely be back in 6 weeks or so
I’m not trying to be dramatic but getting carted off the field is pretty telling. Would be SHOCKED if it isn’t season ending.
He's a big dude, the cart could be for lots of things.

He has a mild sprain and will be out two weeks. I’m going to will this statement to life.
So hope I’m wrong. Was so pumped to see his impact on the field. Our pass rush keeps getting weaker by the day. This D is about to get shredded.

No GOOD team is going into a season with their #1 OLB and their #1 inside presence being pretty much completely unproven players… especially when they’re sitting on at least 25 million bucks worth of cap room and their defense was atrocious last year.
You don’t get to complain about injuries when you’re sitting on as much cap room as we did, with the GLARING needs we had on D.

It hurts their individual development more than the team collectively. Now Robinson will be entering year two with no NFL game experience and Ojulari will be entering year three with little impact made plus multiple injuries. Is there anything to be excited about regarding the defense this season besides the young corners (Williams & Melton)?

There are some serious conclusions being jumped to here. For all we know, he could end up being out for a week.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Good thing we did a lot to improve our pass rush and have depth there
