Monday night was just the beginning of what Fangio can do with this group. He is a master at building his week-to-week scheme around the talents of his players, so there is no telling how much different things will look on Sunday night against the high-powered Detroit Lions.
But this much is certain: The Eagles plan to bring it. Each and every down with a variety of personnel packages.
"I still think," Phillips said after the game during which the defense registered three quarterback sacks and limited Green Bay to seven points, "that there's a lot of meat on the bone."
That's what the Eagles hope to see. More down and dirty and physical and violent football from the entire front, which works hand in hand with the players on the edge. A position that was viewed as a question mark just a few weeks ago is now a major plus into the second half of this regular season.
"It feels good. We're all working together to affect the quarterback," Smith said. "We play together and when we play together, we are unstoppable. We are on one page and we keep hunting, keep going."
They are doing it as a group. That's the mentality – all for one, one for all. Every day, they expect the chemistry to grow and their performance to improve.
"We're just building," Graham said. "Doesn't matter who is making the plays. We're out there to win. One week it might be somebody else and the next week it might be you. We're out here to win and that's all that matters."
