by Jimmy Kempski

We won't do snap count analysis for the Philadelphia Eagles throughout the season, because it's not exactly compelling content from week to week, but I do think there were some noteworthy takeaways from the Birds' Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Let's go position-by-position.
