I noticed one play where he seemed pissed off after being pulled after a 2nd down play and said something to Chris Wilson the DL Coach.

Shitstirring - they played a lot more nickel in game 2.

That has nothing to do with whether a DE is in the game or not.

right

That has nothing to do with whether a DE is in the game or not.

but it does have to do with which DE is in the game.

From Kempski

Defensive line
• 46 snaps: Fletcher Cox
• 39 snaps: Brandon Graham
• 36 snaps: Haloti Ngata
• 35 snaps: Derek Barnett
• 25 snaps: Chris Long
• 24 snaps: Michael Bennett
• 23 snaps: Destiny Vaeao
• 3 snaps: Bruce Hector

Analysis: Bennett's snaps were down from a week ago, and Ngata's snaps were up. That would make sense in a game in which the Eagles trailed the entire way, thus taking away some pass rush opportunities from Bennett on the interior.

Not that I care if Bennett talks to the media.

If Bennett wasn't also an interior rusher in nickel packages, I'd agree with this explanation. However, I don't see Barnett or Long as being better edge rushers or run defenders than Bennett, so Jimmy's explanation is also odd.
