With the Philadelphia Eagles being on their bye week, we now have time to assess a lot of different aspects of the team. The quarterback will always be the talk of the town here in Philadelphia. But, how soon have we forgotten that we have a rookie head coach? The Eagles head coach was once viewed as a meme by fans throughout the city. Fans were constantly making fun of his many analogies, as well as simply questioning his ability to coach.
Just when things were trending upwards for Jalen Hurts, he has arguably his worst game as a pro. Throwing 3 interceptions and only completing 45% of his passes against the New York Giants. Hurts was the biggest reason behind the Eagles coming up short against the division rival. That simply cannot happen if this guy wants to remain the quarterback here long term.
Unfortunately, not all the young players on this roster are growing at the same rate. That's where we discuss Jalen Reagor. For whatever reason it seems Reagor has regressed as the team has started to find it's rhythm. Reagor has 0 yards or less in 4 of the last 6 games.
It's got to be a rough time for the Jalen Hurts haters. I'm doing a roll call right now. What could you possibly have to…
“Has anything changed in the last five years? We can talk all day about Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts because it’s the easiest ones to try to jump on,” McNabb said, "but we got to start in the (front) offices and work our way down.”
Odell Beckham Jr. has officially been released by the Cleveland Browns today. It's not very often an elite wide receiver becomes available via the free agent market. The best part is, he can be claimed for a base salary near the league minimum. The rest of Beckham's remaining salary would be going to him in a signing bonus.
Mark your calender Eagles fans. Tuesday November 2nd at 4 p.m. ET. That is the the official date and time for the 2021 NFL trade deadline. With the Philadelphia Eagles sitting at a 2-5 record, there's a good chance this team is sellers at the deadline. The Eagles travel to Detroit this Sunday to face the 0-7 Lions. If they somehow lose, it only increases the chances they decide to part ways with some players.
Just when the Eagles rookie play caller decides to give Miles Sanders the football, he sprains his ankle. Eagles fans have been screaming for Miles to get more touches; deservingly so. Miles has been one of the most efficient and productive backs over the last several years.
Through six weeks, Goedert is 7th on the team in pass targets. How is that possible? Keep in mind he missed one game due to Covid protocol. He's still only averaging 3.8 targets per game. Which would be the lowest since his rookie year. That just can't happen. Especially with a young and inexperienced wide receiver room. Dallas should be either first or second in pass targets. He brings a level of physicality and toughness in the middle of the field, that the Eagles desperately need.
T.J. Edwards has 22 tackles and a sack on the year. But, that special teams play is his biggest on the season. That was Edwards first career Player of the Week honor. One more interesting fact, he is the first Eagle to be named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week since 2017, when Kenjon B
