Jared Verse hates Eagles fans, but calls them the best opposing fan base
Before the Rams and Eagles met in the playoffs, Rams linebacker Jared Verse said he hates Eagles fans. Verse hasn't backed off from that, but he also respects the passion of the fans who he says scream obscenities at him from the stands.
In an interview with the YouTube channel Whistle, Verse was asked to name the best opposing fan base.
'Probably the Eagles,' Verse answered. 'I've got to give them that. I like when you kind of get into it, you're aggressive, you're loud, and they stand by that with no doubt.'
Verse also said the Eagles are the toughest crowd to play in front of in the NFL.
'Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say, and they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff,' Verse said. 'They're going to bring something up. Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed a line,' but they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?''
Verse will hear it from Eagles fans again in Week Three, when the Rams visit Philadelphia.

Rams' Jared Verse says Eagles have best opposing fan base after saying he hates them
Jared Verse of the Los Angeles Rams made his feelings about Philadelphia Eagles fans known in January telling Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times, "I hate Eagles fans. They're so annoying. I hate Eagles fans.' The Eagles and their fans got the last laugh days later when Philadelphia beat the Rams with a 28-22 victory to advance to the NFC Championship game. Verse would record four tackles, three for loss and two sacks in the defeat. Advertisement Now after experiencing Eagles fans as an NFL rookie, Verse, who lived a few hours north of Philadelphia during his high school playing days, is showing respect to one of the league's most boisterous fan bases. In an interview with Casey Rieger of Whistle Sports this week, Verse said that the Eagles are the best opposing fan base and have the toughest crowd to play in front of at Lincoln Financial Field. 'I've got to give them that," Verse said. "It's just because I like when you kind of get into it, you're aggressive, you're loud. They stand by that with no doubt.' 'Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say and they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff," Verse said. "Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed the line.' But they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?'' Verse expressing respect won't change the minds of any Eagles fans when they see one another again. The two sides won't have to wait long to get reacquainted. The Week 3 schedule for the upcoming season will see the Rams visit Philadelphia for the first time since their playoff matchup. Despite his battles with Eagles fans, it was a fruitful rookie season for the 24-year-old Verse. After being selected 19th overall out of Florida State in the 2024 draft, the linebacker went on to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and earn his first trip to the Pro Bowl.

Will the NFC East finally have a repeat division winner?
Knowledgeable Commanders fans know the statistic: It's been since 2004 that an NFC East team has repeated as divisional champion. Yes, it was the Eagles; in fact, it was the last of Philadelphia's four consecutive NFC East titles. Strange as it sounds, it's true, no NFC East team has repeated since. Advertisement Kevin Sheehan of Team 980 discussed the phenomenon on Friday. Sheehan pointed out that four writers covering the four NFC East teams had a dialogue/story this week discussing the NFC East in 2025. John Keim, Washington's ESPN beat reporter, predicted that the Eagles will break the string and win the division. Keim basically said, How can you go against the Eagles after the season they had last year? Keim did point out that the Commanders do have the quarterback to threaten the Eagles, but remaining objective, had to admit what we all know is the major question mark for Washington in 2025. Will their defense make a large enough jump to challenge the Eagles for the division title in 2025? Sheehan cautioned Commanders fans not to overlook the fact that the Cowboys do have good offensive talent in quarterback Dak Prescott, receiver CeeDee Lamb, and, now this offseason, they added receiver George Pickens. The best Cowboy is Micah Parsons, and they drafted a highly regarded pass rusher and signed former Commanders edge rusher Dante Fowler. The Giants will be very strong on the defensive line. Their defense has been good, and they added Abdul Carter (EDGE) in the draft. Can Russell Wilson bring them steady play at quarterback? If Wilson doesn't get the job done, will Jameis Winston prove to be adequate? Or, do the Giants turn to rookie Jaxson Dart? Receiver Malik Nabers (LSU) exhibited enough last season to prove he is the real deal. The Eagles have stud defensive tackles, the best linebacker in the division, the best running back, the best offensive line and perhaps the best duo of wide receivers. They ran the ball down Washington's throat in the NFC Championship game and entirely dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
