Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles hyperlinks …
NFL Week 4 Underneath Evaluation: The Lions Offense Is Cooking – The RingerThe 2024 Eagles look lots just like the 2023 Eagles. It’s changing into tougher and tougher to seek out Eagles followers who nonetheless have excessive hopes for this season. A playoff group? Possibly. However a Tremendous Bowl contender? There aren’t many indicators to point this group has that type of ceiling. The Eagles are 2-2 going into their bye, and so they’re anticipating to get key offensive gamers similar to A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Lane Johnson again from harm. Nonetheless, the prevailing feeling in Philadelphia is that this season in all probability received’t be a complete lot of enjoyable. In some ways, regardless that the items are totally different, it appears like a continuation of final 12 months. Eagles proprietor Jeffrey Lurie opted for an unconventional strategy within the offseason. He determined to retain head coach Nick Sirianni however stripped him of his tasks and assigned him new coordinators—Kellen Moore on offense and Vic Fangio on protection. Sirianni has been tasked with being a CEO-type head coach—somebody who oversees the complete operation, focuses on tradition and preparation, and handles sport administration. Properly, the sport administration has been a problem, and the group that took the sphere in opposition to the Bucs on Sunday didn’t look able to play. Tampa jumped out to a 24-0 lead halfway by the second quarter and by no means appeared again. The gradual begins on offense aren’t new. The Eagles are the one NFL group that has failed to attain a single level within the first quarter this season. On 4 opening drives, the Eagles have totaled one first down and 17 yards.
In Roob’s Bonus Observations: Why do the Eagles get blown out a lot? – NBCSP1. Probably the most regarding issues for me is the variety of current video games by which the Eagles had been merely non-competitive. It’s one factor to lose on a last-second subject aim or an enormous play within the closing minutes or by a degree or two after a decent battle. No loss is an efficient loss. However it’s these video games the place the Eagles are merely not able to play and get clobbered early and are by no means even in it which can be changing into increasingly more widespread. They’ve now misplaced 5 video games by 17 or extra factors of their final 11 video games – 49ers, Cowboys, Giants and Bucs late final 12 months and the Bucs once more on Sunday. These are all video games they only haven’t been prepared at kickoff. Video games the place it was extra about not being prepared mentally than bodily. They haven’t scored a 1st-quarter landing of their final six video games, getting outscored 36-0. They’ve led solely 4 of their final 13 video games at halftime (and misplaced three of them). They’ve now gone 15 straight video games with out profitable a sport by two possessions – the primary time that’s occurred beneath the identical head coach since 1969 and 1970 beneath Jerry Williams. Each group goes to have a dud right here and there, a sport they’re simply by no means in it. However 5 blowouts in an 11-game span? Final time that occurred to the Eagles was 1998, a season the place they went 3-13 and had been the laughing inventory of the NFL. All people within the group performs a job in that, however in the end it’s a mirrored image of the pinnacle coach and his incapacity to have his group ready to play soccer on a constant foundation.
Eagles vs. Buccaneers: 3 winners, 10 losers, 4 IDKs – BGNWhere is the proof of a well-coached group? The Eagles persistently don’t look able to play. They’re the one NFL group that hasn’t scored within the first quarter this season. Relationship again to final season, they’ve gone six straight video games with out first quarter factors. The Bucs scored 24 factors (would’ve been 28 if not for a dropped landing) and moved the ball 271 yards whereas the Eagles had run simply 9 performs that resulted in NEGATIVE FIVE yards. The extent of Sirianni’s say in “Kellen Moore’s offense” isn’t completely clear … however one would assume he performs a component in approving the opening sport script. And people approaches have clearly stunk.
Identification – Iggles BlitzSirianni talks about how he desires a group that focuses on particulars. He desires a tricky, good, bodily group. He preaches fundamentals. The group now we have watched for the previous month doesn’t match that description. They miss tackles. They don’t know the foundations (Isaiah Rodgers). They don’t play good. Take into consideration Darius Slay giving up the TD on the finish of the Atlanta sport. They aren’t bodily sufficient. Watch Grant Calcaterra attempt to block. Or the DBs attempt to deal with. Does Sirianni see this? He doesn’t acknowledge it to the media, however that’s the way in which he does issues. I do marvel if he’s as annoyed by this group as these of us on the surface are. The issues of 2023 had been speculated to go away with teaching and personnel modifications. Sadly, too a lot of them nonetheless stay. That makes me query if Sirianni’s message is de facto getting by. Sirianni was famously affected person in 2021 and that turned out to be the best strategy. That group got here collectively at midseason and went on a sizzling streak. This group is extra proficient and is in a unique state of affairs, nevertheless it needs to be identified that there’s nonetheless loads of time for this group to reside as much as expectations. I wouldn’t wager some huge cash on it proper now. I additionally wouldn’t have wager on the Eagles melting down the way in which they did final 12 months or them dropping a playoff sport to Tampa, who was 4-7 at one level.
The Monday Morning Mashup, NFL Week 4: Baltimore Beats Buffalo, Washington Can Win the NFC East, and Minnesota Stays Undefeated – Sumer SportsAfter I took a victory lap with Vic Fangio’s Eagles protection halting the Saints final week, the Buccaneers walloped the birds. Baker Mayfield was capable of make each cross he wished to and had the second quickest common time to throw of his profession. That low time to throw froze an already struggling cross rush and is one other signal that this Eagles secondary is in bother, significantly within the slot. The Eagles protection tallied up extra missed tackles and irritating performs as they head right into a much-needed bye week at 2-2. With out the power to hurry the passer or cowl receivers for lengthy sufficient to create points, my Fangio victory lap was short-lived, very like the Eagles whole time of possession on offense. I’m lower than excited to observe again the Eagles offensive movie from this week. It’s a powerful analysis as stars Lane Johnson, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith had been all out on Sunday. Nonetheless, the Buccaneers generated strain on nearly half of Jalen Hurts dropbacks together with a disheartening strip sack and an all too acquainted adverse feeling for a group attempting to keep away from the identical destiny as final season.
Spadaro: Now we have a protracted, lengthy solution to go within the 2024 season – PE.com1. Gradual begin for protection … and it continued. Tampa Bay’s sport plan was apparent from the very begin: The Bucs drove 79 yards on 10 performs to attain a first-drive landing and quarterback Baker Mayfield led the way in which with 8 completions in 9 makes an attempt for 62 yards and he obtained the ball out so quick the Eagles simply couldn’t react to the three-step drops and brief passing sport that Mayfield executed so completely. The Eagles couldn’t generate a cross rush, gave up 4 first downs, and had been unable to cease the Bucs on two third downs. Missed tackles damage the Eagles early and, sadly, continued all through the sport. Then Tampa Bay drove 80 yards on 5 performs on its subsequent possession and Mayfield accomplished all 4 of his passes for 76 yards and similar to that it was 14-0. Mayfield accomplished 13 of his first 14 passes for 144 yards. After such a terrific outing in New Orleans, the Eagles allowed Tampa Bay to realize 445 whole web yards and 29 first downs and possess the soccer for 36 minutes, 19 seconds.
Vote for Jayden Daniels as NFL Rookie of the Week for his commanding efficiency vs Arizona Cardinals – Hogs HavenCommanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has performed 4 NFL common season video games and he’s been nominated for every one because the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week, profitable the award in Weeks 1 & 3 for his play in opposition to the Buccaneers and Bengals on the street. This week, he has been nominated for his excellent play in Arizona in opposition to the NFC West Cardinals.
Questions raised from the Cowboys’ win over the Giants – Running a blog The BoysDoes the protection have a prayer after accidents? If issues weren’t unhealthy sufficient for Dallas defensively, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are actually going to overlook at the least a few video games and Tank will in all probability be out longer. With defensive finish already skinny after Sam Williams’ harm and no person having emerged but from the bench, how way more are the Cowboys going to wrestle to cease anybody? Extra snaps for Marshawn Kneeland will not be a foul factor, however the actual worry is the cross rush. Whereas Kneeland and Chauncey Golston could possibly be enough on run protection, neither of them goes to come back near filling the pass-rushing void. Veteran Carl Lawson can hardly be counted on for something at this level, both. Mike Zimmer is now pressured to get trickier together with his linebackers and defensive backs to assist complement the losses. However after watching them wrestle to do the fundamentals in opposition to New Orleans and Baltimore, the concept of relying much more on these gamers is unsettling. And whereas Zimmer was identified for creativity in his calls, up to now issues have appeared old-school and vanilla since his return to Dallas.
Is the Giants offensive line actually higher than final season? – Huge Blue ViewThe Giants have a greater state of affairs on the offesnvie line than in 2023. In the event that they didn’t, it will be a catastrophe. Nevertheless, the unit nonetheless leaves some to be desired. Singletary hasn’t had a lot room to function; he ranks twentieth in yards after contact (3.23) and second within the league with 20 missed tackles pressured. Solely Jordan Mason of the 49ers has extra pressured missed tackles. Professional Soccer Focus additionally gave Singletary the sixth-highest Elusive score (a stat measuring the success and impression of a runner with the ball independently of the blocking). Singeltary has stable particular person statistics however solely averages 3.9 yards per carry. The offesnvie line has to do a greater job opening up holes, sustaining blocks, and finding the penetrating second-level defenders. The run blocking is healthier than the 2023 season, however solely marginally, and I anticipate it to enhance barely. The cross blocking is a lot better, however may nonetheless enhance.
Scouting Jets defensive again Jalen Mills – Gang Inexperienced NationMills nonetheless made good contributions for the Patriots final season and sure would have made the Giants’ roster had he not been injured, so the Jets will really feel fairly good about him nonetheless having one thing left within the tank if they should name on him. Together with his potential to fill in nearly wherever within the secondary, he could be a great emergency elevation from the apply squad within the occasion of a short-term harm but additionally could possibly be referred to as as much as the primary roster if extra severe harm points come up.
NFL mock draft 2025: Colorado stars go 1-2 in our up to date first spherical projection – SB NationIt’s time for our first 2025 NFL mock draft, and let’s simply say it’s a bit of topsy turvy. The Vikings are WHERE? The 49ers are WHERE? The Bengals are HOW HIGH? 5 weeks into the faculty soccer season, some early observations on this class are beginning to come into focus. This can be a defense-heavy class: 19 of the highest 32 picks on this early mock draft had been on the defensive facet of the ball, and it could possibly be much more by the point the second mock rolls round. This defensive class is particular, with tremendous enjoyable prospects main the pack at nook, defensive deal with and EDGE. After we get to my midseason massive board, I’m positive many of the prime guys can be from that facet of the ball. Colorado’s Travis Hunter and Michigan’s Will Johnson are stars at nook, Michigan DT Mason Graham and Kentucky DT Deone Walker and battle to be the primary deal with picked, and the deep race at EDGE, there’s so many cool issues to go and look ahead to on the defensive facet of the ball.
