There is no baby talk From Fangio

• Fangio brutaly honest about Huff

The Eagles signed Bryce Huff to a three-year, $51 million deal in free agency, hoping to transform the former Jets pass rusher into a younger, more explosive version of Haason Reddick.

Huff was a nonfactor in game one, playing fewer snaps than Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, and Nolan Smith. During his Wednesday press conference, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio again offered some tough love and made it clear that Huff would see more significant snaps until he started to separate himself.



Huff has increased his sack production in seasons, jumping from 3.5 sacks in 2022 to 10.0 this past season.

Still, Huff has been known as more of a situational pass rusher than a true defensive end or SAM linebacker. Last season, he played in just 42 percent of the Jets’ defensive snaps, as he was used solely in pass-rushing situations.

It’s only one game, and this situation and his ability to mesh with Fangio will be something to watch.

It was painfully obvious to anyone with knowledge of the game that Huff was a nonfactor.
My brother and I were talking before the game and I said edge was weak link and number one need going into the draft. The game just reinforced my opinion.

Watching the game, I was worried that he was injured because he wasn't on the field for a long stretch in the first half. I think a guy like Huff needs traction to bend around the corner and that field was just not going to give it to him. It will be interesting if he plays more this week and then again on the turf in N.O.

I get what you're saying R but there was more in that quote by Fangio than just the field. He flat out said that his playing time is going to be linked to his production and to me it said that he's not that high on him. Personally I wasn't too happy with that $51 million contract they gave him. I don't think numbers tell the whole story about players. He played on a great defense and just was the guy who happened to get the sacks. Numbers don't tell the whole story.
