The turnaround the Eagles orchestrated in less than three weeks was no small feat. The defending Super Bowl champs went from looking listless to inspired, showcasing a dominant, balanced performance against an opponent that had blown them out just two games earlier. From Jalen Hurts' poise and precision to Saquon Barkley's first breakout day of the season, the Eagles, which also boasted a punishing pass rush in their 38-20 win over the Giants, are looking more and more like the group that reached the top of the NFL mountain last February. Now that the bye week is here, The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane and Mike Sielski take stock of the 6-2 Eagles, what moves general manager Howie Roseman might consider making at the trade deadline, and how well positioned the franchise is for the homestretch of the season.
00:00 Guess who's back? Saquon's back!
06:41 Why did it take the Eagles seven weeks to tweak running game?
15:43 Does Howie Roseman need to make a trade for more defense?
23:22 Did A.J. Brown finally cross a line?
31:38 Mike's hot take about Nick Sirianni

The Day After: Beating the Chiefs was big; are the offensive concerns real?
The Eagles’ 20-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was a good win. Pretty? Not so much, at least on the offensive side of the ball. The passing attack didn’t really establish a deep threat (again). There wasn’t much rhythm to the play calling. But when you go on the road and defeat an opponent hungry and motivated to avenge an embarrassing loss in the Super Bowl just seven months earlier, should style points matter? The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Mike Sielski debate this question, and explain why, for as much as the offense has looked disjointed through two games, Eagles fans should have plenty of confidence in the club’s defense.
00:00 “Like a home-cooked meal, but the steak was tough”
01:07 Sorting through some of the warning signs on offense
14:30 The most encouraging signs from Vic Fangio’s defense after two games
16:14 Have the Eagles’ found their new safety in Andrew Mukuba?
21:07 Enjoy the Tush Push (while it lasts…)
