- Fangio expressed strong support for joint practices, highlighting the benefits of facing new teams, schemes, and players to gain valuable, unscouted experience.
- Playing time decisions in the preseason game against the Ravens were strategic, with Fangio emphasizing the need for more reps for certain players like Nakobe Dean and Michael Carter II to aid their development and evaluation.
- The Eagles boast significant depth at the inside linebacker position, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. showing notable improvement and the team feeling confident in their linebacker corps overall.
