The Eagles signed Bryce Huff to a three-year, $51 million deal in free agency, hoping to transform the former Jets pass rusher into a younger, more explosive version of Haason Reddick.
Huff was a nonfactor in game one, playing fewer snaps than Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, and Nolan Smith. After Week 1, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio again offered some tough love and made it clear that Huff wouldn’t see more significant snaps until he started to separate himself.
Fangio said for Bryce Huff to play more, he must separate himself from the other edge rushers. Huff was again a nonfactor in the Week 2 loss to the Falcons, and earlier this week, he talked about adjusting his pass rush.

Last season, he played in just 42 percent of the Jets’ defensive snaps, as he was used solely in pass-rushing situations.
Through two weeks, Huff hasn’t even performed in that role, logging two total tackles, a 57.8 grade from PFF, and playing 31 pass rush snaps, with two quarterback hurries and two quarterback pressures.
