The Philadelphia Eagles must be relentless against Tampa Bay’s offense

6. Javon Hargrave, Defensive Tackle.

Simply put, Javon Hargrave, a.k.a the ‘gravedigger,’ needs to keep doing what he has been doing all season long, and that is being a monster to opposing offensive lines.

7. Josh Sweat, Defensive End.

Similar story to his teammates above, Josh Sweat needs to be an active force in Week 6. He had a slower start to the season than most fans would’ve preferred (thanks, in large part, to coaching), but he seems to be heating up and just at the right time considering the offense they will be facing.

8. Milton Williams, Defensive Tackle.

Since having a solid pre-season showing, rookie defensive tackle Milton William has been quiet along the Eagles’ defensive line. He has made some solid plays, but he has been heavily lacking as far as being impactful.

Someone with this type of athleticism should be able to make most offensive lines crumble, but we just have not seen it yet. This needs to be a breakout game.

9. Darius Slay, Cornerback

After having a two-interception game and locking down Carolina Panthers star receiver, D.J Moore, Darius Slay needs to have another big game. The Eagles secondary will be facing another trio of receivers, some of the best in the league, so it is easy to say that Slay will have his work cut out for him.
