Eagles' Regular Season Awards: Who's the Real MVP?
The Philadelphia Eagles have wrapped up their regular season, and with it comes a chance to hand out some awards. While fans may be hoping for better results in the standings, the team has still shown flashes of brilliance on both sides of the ball.
Geoff Mosher of PhillyVoice has named Quinyon Mitchell as his defensive MVP, citing his ability to dominate receivers throughout the season. Jimmy Kempski and Evan Macy also agree that Mitchell is the top defender for the Eagles, while Nick Tricome counters with a nomination for Vic Fangio, the team's defensive coordinator.
Fangio is the true unsung hero of the Eagles' defense, according to Tricome. Despite struggling early in the season due to injuries and personnel issues, he still managed to coordinate one of the NFL's stingiest defenses. Tricome believes that Fangio has been the key to the team's success this year.
The Top Breakout Performer award is going to Jalyx Hunt, the Eagles' third-round pick who has made major strides in his second season with the team. Geoff Mosher praises Hunt's progress throughout the year, while Jimmy Kempski highlights his impressive performance in games where he was a three-star player.
Nick Tricome also acknowledges A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith as elite receivers who both managed to put up impressive seasons despite some early-season struggles.
In other awards, Bobby King is being recognized for his work with linebackers coach Christian Parker and defensive backs coach, while Evan Macy praises the defensive line coach who helped the team achieve success without major contributions from their top players.
The Play of the Year award goes to Jordan Davis, who blocked a game-winning field goal attempt against the Rams and returned the ball for a touchdown. Jimmy Kempski chooses this play over another impressive block by Davis earlier in the year.
Finally, Nick Tricome selects A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith as the most surprising players of the season, highlighting their ability to put up incredible numbers despite some early-season drama and inconsistent playcalling.
Geoff Mosher names Jihaad Campbell as his Rookie of the Year choice, but Evan Macy agrees that second-round safety Andrew Mukuba had a strong rookie season before breaking out with an ankle injury.

. Looks like our Eagles are done with their regular season and now they're handing out awards to the 'winners'. Meh, I guess Quinyon Mitchell's defensive skills are decent or whatever 
. But honestly, who needs individual recognition when the team could've actually had a winning record? Not saying Fangio isn't important, but c'mon, guys! 
2nd round safety Andrew Mukuba's rookie season got cut short by an ankle injury 
! I mean, people always talk about Mitchell and Jalyx Hunt making huge plays, but Fangio's defense is what's really been holding it down all season long 
. He's been through so much with injuries and personnel issues, and yet he still manages to get the team to perform like a well-oiled machine 
. I think Tricome has got this one right 
. I MEAN, QUINYON MITCHELL WAS DEFINITELY ON FIRE ON DEFENSE 
, AND JALYX HUNT IS DOING SOME SERIOUS PROGRESS AS A ROOKIE 
. BUT FOR ME, FANGIO SHOULD GET WAY MORE CREDIT FOR HIS PART IN THE TEAM'S SUCCESS 
. And Jalyx Hunt?! Major strides in two seconds! 
Can't wait to see what he does next season! 
, but Davis's blocked FG TD will be a highlight reel for years 
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are lucky if they don't leave in two years, I mean who knows what happened to those receivers early in the season 
. And what's with all these awards? It feels like they're giving out participation trophies or something...
