Derrick Henry FILLS A HOLE while the Eagles still have defensive issues! - Stephen A. | First Take 

The all caps on *FILLS A HOLE* in the title 💀

The video editor knew what they were doing putting in the title like that 😭

CJGJ back on the Eagles going to help that secondary a lot.

I agree with RC ....The Eagles are up on this one but with that said the Ravens no drop off with King Henry

without lamar ravens would not have been #1 in rushing so not the best argument. i think elite RB support rushing the ball for the ravens will be huge. keaton mitchell going down last year hurt the ravens in the playoffs

In the biggest games, in the important spots, will the ravens give Henry the ball tho?

King Henry behind that Ravens line!!!? Im a Titans fan and that's scary

Ravens need outside threats more than help in the run game. Still, a great pickup though.

Oh, he's filling a hole all right. 🤫

It’s good to see Ryan Clark on 🎉

If the Eagles still have defensive issues, then every team still has defensive issues. Birds will be fine with Vic, CJGJ and their new shiny piece in Huff. I'm actually happy people continue to doubt the birds. Feels like 2022/2017 again.

Hurts was having a good season until he injured his finger on his throwing hand in January. I injured mine a couple of months ago and it made everything difficult i couldnt imagine having to throw a football especially at that level

King Henry will see holes he's never seen before in Baltimore

Ravens fan here. We still have a decent amount of holes as well, some being IOL, WR2, RT. Defensively, we need to retool at CB, and find Edge rush help. The Henry signing is a great signing, don’t get me wrong. But we can’t act like we don’t have other spots we have to address.

THEY SAID CMC WAS INJURY PRONE AND SHOULDN’T BE PAID. SAQUON DESERVES A CHANCE.

The Eagles need to draft better LBs for there run fits.

To be fair, while the Ravens were the #1 rush offense. Lamar led them in rushing. My guess is they want to flip that and have Derrick Henry lead them

While I agree that for the ravens they have to execute better and that was a big reason they lost, Derrick Henry does fill a hole. The ravens only had justice hill and Keaton Mitchell on the roster, and Mitchell probably won’t play until midseason at best. They upgraded from Gus edwards to Derrick Henry. He did fill a hole that was essential to their success.

Hurts & Lamar better be in the SB with these pick ups

I have an idea, how about drafting some linemen to protect your QB1, so he doesn't have to scamper around for his life, instead of ditching him for nothing?

I'm with Stephen A. The Eagles D was the reason they lost it last year, not really their offense

eagles have a young secondary that will get better so there corners are fine we just still need better LBs

They talkin bout saquon CJGJ is the addition that I’m staring at

force’s everyone who plays the ravens to fill the box every play maybe even walk down a safety

Honestly the ravens biggest problem is the HC

Explosivity is not a word 🙃

Ravens already have a good RB. His name is Lamar Jackson

As a eagles fans Stephen is right Jalen is on the clock now he’s gotta show up an prove the doubters this year or we are looking at a QB next season

Tbh it’s the ravens I think it’s the ravens. Last year and previous years Ravens needed Lamar legs on top of decent RB play. But you can literally hand the rock off 20 times and Henry gonna get you at least 150 😂

I would love to see Caleb pull an Eli Manning and tell the Bears not to draft him.

The title is a pause

These sports media are obsessed with holes. Broussard yesterday and now ESPN today.

Did Sas skip the CJGJ news?

The bears need to draft Marvin Harrison Jr. with the 1st Pick n a QB with the 9th

I thought Ryan Clark was gone from ESPN lol

- Eagles had a bad season and loses because of their defense mostly. Signs a big name RB.

I don’t think the eagles needed saquon tbh

We developed Kelee Ringo still got slay signed CJ still got our rookie safety from last yea that we developed don’t let us be able to play Isaiah rodgers 👀 our secondary is good for next season plus our D Line is insane our O line is insane I think we just need more weapons for Jalen sign McConkie (I may have messed up his name)1st round and get us an amazing slot receiver and watch us win that BOWL PHILLY DOGS 🦅

The eagles have time liek they have 3 picks in the first 2 rounds in the draft there are good defensive players in fa aswell

I feel bad for jk dobbins he’s never had a proper chance

Barkley is basically Reggie bush . Not a physical runner at all and he’s actually built to be physical but he’s not .

Henry way bigger signing. He is a hall of famer . He had over 1400 yards with the titans last year. And they suck

Joe mixon to the Texans is a sleeper

Eagles need LBs like desperately Secondary will be fine

Saquon brings more consistency I think swift was a good back but at times he was very inconsistent now that’s not all on him cuz the playcallin offensive last year was horrible but saquon is a back that can truly make nothing into something Derrick Henry to Baltimore is like when the cowboys drafted ceedee lamb when they had amari cooper in his prime along with Michael gallap coming off a good year as for Justin fields it’s a mystery how people view him so poorly I mean the guy ain’t a top 5 QB but he’s def a starting QB but I suppose the issue is he can only be drafted since I doubt the bears will just release him either way if he doesn’t get traded and the bears do draft Caleb Williams his career is probably over well starting career he will def have opportunities to be a back up on someone’s roster but as for starting I think that would be over

Henry going to the Ravens just to lose to KC, Mahomes, and Reid again in the playoffs. 2024 Saquon is far from the monster he was coming out of Penn State. Plus the Philly's big problem is defense and he plays a non impactful position. No teams want Fields because he sucks

Stop. The ravens lost Queen. Eagles juiced up the team by adding Kellen Moore, Vic Fangio, CJGJ, Huff, Saquon, Campbell, Baum, and Devin White. Howie isn’t done. Henry is aging and the ravens o line is suspect. Think about this miles sanders had over 1,000 yards rushing, and DeAndre Swift had his career high rushing yards behind practically the same Oline. AND swift ranked last to yards after contact. Saquon, was a beast behind a trash O line. Put Saquon behind the Eagles O line and my goodness, “mama there goes that man!” Understand me! Literally every argument Stephen A. Smith made for the Ravens adding an aging Henry, you can make for Saquon and the Philadelphia Eagles. Stop it.

Wait this headline makes no sense. Derrick Henry fills a hole but they talking defensive issues for the eagles? Lmao we're they thinking Derrick Henry was gonna play line backer for us? Lmao

Yo Saquon don’t even stay healthy stop it

Philly hasnt had a back who could move the chains since legarrete blount 2017, saquon is that and sum thats all i kno

I love Barkley but he hasn't done anything remotely close to what Derrick Henry has done not to mention what Lamar does I do think the eagles are going to be really good I said it yesterday about CMAC is saquon but there's only one ball

That is such a poor take. Yes the eagles have had okay running back perform well behind the line they have, suddenly you add a world class RB means he’ll have the same production minimum but will create plays from nothing where previous guys would get tackled behind the los

We literally just signed 2 defensive studs and were not done yet😂. dumb segment

I hope it's just a pun thing, bc the problem was never the run game. Lamar played poorly against the Chiefs. You gotta be big time in big games.

People need to stop pretending Justin Fields is some kind of promising, great quarterback. That's the problem. 40td 30int, 60% career completion percentage. He's never thrown for more than 2500 yards. If you think he's a guy who can put your team in Super Bowl contention every year, if you think he's a franchise guy like that, that's fine, but it's not accurate.

Pause ayo

They already got a running back playing QB

super bowls, Ravens vs Eagles book it next

The Fields conversation is so dumb. Where was RC for that?

🤔

JF1 is staying in Chicago.

Biggest signing is Saquon. People just talk to hear themselves. These dudes are idiots..Baltimore just was the best running team and yall mentioned them. Had to just talk about something i see

I can’t believe this dumb idea made it to first take🤦🏾‍♂️ keep fields and Williams WTH

BRYCE HUFF, CJGJ

Saquan easily he can catch a screen pass imagine him with lamar 🔥

Barkley play cornerback, hes always hurt i m not worried about him he may play half the year

Mixon to Texans

neither...its pat queen to pitts

nothing matters Cowboys superbowl

Neither. How does it help either team? Ravens still need Lamar to step his game up throwing when it matters. Eagles second half collapse last year wasn’t a RB problem

Yeah, what more Baltimore had to do… Run more. 6 runs in a game they lost

Well Saquan gotta stay healthy too

Cowboys fans sad 😢 again.! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Lamar will never win a ring stop talking about Philly

now lamar got all the weapons he needs, theres no more excuse!

King Henry filling holes like a pro, while the Eagles are still digging themselves out of defensive issues... sounds like a job for a plumber, not a football team!

Molly only has her job because someone did to her what the title say Derrick Henry does.

Eagles still not gonna make the superbowl, defense is still not very good.

Both

Hurts is overrated, he's not himz , I like Steffen a Smith, he keep it real I don't believe that, we need a whole new coaching staff, DeAndre Swift came threw if we ran the ball more, Baltimore gone take off with Derrick Henry,

Nick sarrisn job been on the line, he sucks as a coach, hurts overrated
