Unfortunate that with the fantastic coverage & reporting from Bo, Fran, & Zach that the site still feels the need to have Les to fill the “WIP-esque” overreaction void. Don’t we all remember Reddick’s first year in Philly in which our very own ZB exercised caution warning us that sacks come in waves?
Yet here we are up in arms after week 1 in horrendous international conditions facing a GB team with excellent rollouts, bootlegs, & overall scheme from their HC. No statistics, advanced metrics, or anything of substance. Disappointed but to be expected.

Ya know, Zach, I’ve been faulted for many things over the years, sometimes justifiably, but “WIP-esque overreaction” is a new one for me.
I think you are overstating my point. But you should let Vic Fangio in on some of the advanced metrics that you infer would make Huff’s performance look better, since Fangio, not me, is the guy not putting Huff on the field as much as any of the other edge rushers.
BTW, in his 2022 Eagles debut, Haason Reddick played two-thirds of the snaps. He played 10 more snaps than Brandon Graham, who was a Pro Bowl-level player at that time.
There certainly is plenty of time for Huff to justify his contract.

Loved the article Les. Loved your response even more.
