Instant analyis of Eagles trading Terrell Edmunds and draft picks to Titans for Kevin Byard

We’re looking at Instant analyis of the Philadelphia #Eagles trading safety Terrell Edmunds and two draft picks to the Tennessee Titans for Kevin Byard

Howie Roseman has never been one to sit around, and as the Eagles sit at 6-1 and headed towards another postseason berth, Philadelphia’s GM continues to add talent.

According to ESPN’s Turron Davenport, the Eagles are in fact trading for safety Kevin Byard, sending safety Terrell Edmunds, and two late round picks for the Pro Bowl safety, and hometown kid.

Philadelphia will travel to Washington on Sunday, and Byard could be an immediate starter alongside rookie safety, Sydney Brown.

With the move set to be made official, here’s an instant analysis of the deal.

5 QB needy teams that could convince the Eagles to swap picks in first round

We’re looking at 5 quarterback-needy teams that could look to make a 2023 NFL draft night trade with the Philadelphia Eagles at picks No. 10 or No. 30 overall

The 2023 NFL offseason is off and running, and as the Eagles and 31 other teams prepare for the NFL  Draft, all eyes are supposed to be on the four top quarterback prospects.

Another SEC star could be creeping into the discussions.

Hendon Hooker could be another name to watch in the first round, similar to Lamar Jackson in 2018.

The 6’3″ signal-caller was dominant in two seasons at Tennessee, throwing for 6,080 yards and 58 touchdowns while completing 68.8 percent of his passes.

He’ll be a 25-year-old rookie coming off a torn ACL in November, but he’s rising on draft boards despite not playing in the Senior Bowl in February or working out at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month.

About seven teams in the top half of the draft have quarterback needs.

Still, only Bryce Young (Alabama), C.J. Stroud (Ohio State), Will Levis (Kentucky), and Anthony Richardson (Florida) are believed to be franchise-altering signal-callers.

Teams like the Cardinals, Bears, Seahawks, and Lions could all look to select game-changing defensive players, while Philadelphia is looking to accrue assets after blockbuster draft night trades in 2022.

With the draft fast approaching, here are five quarterback-needy teams that could look to swap picks with the Eagles at some point in the first round.

Analyzing Colts’ snap counts from Week 7 loss to Titans

Snap count analysis from the Colts’ loss in Week 7.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1) lost their fifth consecutive game to the Tennessee Titans (4-2) on Sunday in a 19-10 defeat at Nissan Stadium.

The loss now moves the Colts down to 1-3-1 against the AFC South this season and may have put the team on a path that will likely keep them out of the playoffs for the second year in a row.

Here’s a look at the snaps counts on offense, defense and special teams:

Von Miller: Bills defense has ‘killer instinct’

Von Miller: #Bills defense has ‘killer instinct’

New free agency addition Von Miller has been making an impact on the Buffalo Bills defensive unit and pass rush.

And it’s showing only two games into the 2022 NFL season.

Miller, along with second-year players like Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham and defensive leaders like LBs Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano, are attacking opposing offenses with robust energy.

Even when they’re winning.

“Whenever we’re up, we keep saying to each other, ‘Don’t blink, don’t let our foot off the gas,'” Miller said while addressing the media. “It’s a killer instinct, it’s a blood-in-the-water instinct.”

One of the most visible differences between the last two meetings between these teams was the way the Bills defense limited Titans star RB Derek Henry. He would have only rush for 25 yards on 13 carries and an average of 1.9 yards per carry. That was good for the second lowest statistical game of his career in which he had at least 13 carries.

The increase in dominance by the Bills on defense is showing in stats like these against top teams and players early this season.

“We have an attitude of domination,” Miller added. “We playing the game to dominate the game. We got a team full of killers and it’s led by our quarterback and our head coach.”

As one would expect, that coach in Sean McDermott is pulling the reigns back. It’s still week-to-week for him, but even McDermott noted how the first two efforts by his team in 2022 have been big time. 

“Ya, I think it’s a good start,” McDermott said via video conference. “The fundamentals are showing up early in the season and that’s really what games come down to early in the year is fundamentals. And taking care of the football. I thought we did a phenomenal job with that offensively and special teams and then defense got takeaways. So I just think it was all in all a good game plan by the coaches and the players executed at a high level.”

Bills’ Stefon Diggs post-three TD outing: ‘A lot left on the bone, really’

#Bills’ Stefon Diggs post-three TD outing: ‘A lot left on the bone, really’

The Buffalo Bills have kicked off the2022 NFL season by turning heads in their first two contests of the season, besting the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 and the team that had the top seed in the AFC last season, the Tennessee Titans.

Despite missing and losing some starters before and during the game to injuries, the team notched a 41-7 victory this week in their home opener.

QB Josh Allen’s top target? That’d be WR1 Stefon Diggs, who went 11 of 12 on catches for 148 yards with three touchdowns.

“I feel like it was a lot left on the bone, really,” Diggs said to the press following the game. “I’ve been with Josh (Allen) for a couple years now. It’s just trying to fine-tune and get better in all areas. At this point, that’s two wins. Try and go get the next one.”

The Bills WR1’s three TDs tied his career best in a game, and his 12 catches were his most in a contest since arriving in Buffalo.  His 20 catches that went for 270 yards with four touchdowns in the first two games of this season, make him the first wide receiver since Steve Smith (2007) to have at least four touchdowns and 250 yards that soon.

 QB Josh Allen, who completed 70% of his throws for 317 yards with four touchdowns, found Diggs for three of those scoring tosses, making him the WR with the most touchdowns in the NFL after two weeks.

That included a 46-yard rocket for Diggs second TD catch of the day.

“He did a great job of getting open, making plays, making some great catches,” Allen said to the media. “That long one was a great catch. So he is what he is. It’s Stefon Diggs. We know he is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, receiver in the game right now, and I trust him implicitly. I love that guy. He works his tail off.”

Diggs made a significant impact in helping the Bills win, as they were shorthanded at the receiver position with WR2 Gabriel Davis missing the game due to an ankle injury.

“That’s part of my job as a leader on this team, as a captain,” Diggs added. “Get us started, get us going, keep us going. Good body language. At times, I want it so bad, but keeping that good body language when things don’t go right.”

Even head coach Sean McDermott was impressed with Diggs big game.

“Yeah, that last throw that Josh made to Stef and I’m just saying, ‘Go get it man, go get it’ and he he got it,” McDermott said during his own media session. “It was fun to watch. I mean, that was awesome.”

NFL picks Week 2: Bills are heavy favorites over Titans say the ‘experts’

The ‘experts’ are taking the #Bills:

The Titans have had their way with the Bills the past few seasons. Despite the successes Buffalo has had, Tennessee have just been a problem.

In Week 1, 64 percent of “experts” picked Buffalo to upset the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1.

Even so, we still find a couple that think the Titans could pull off the upset.
