The Eagles superior to 8-2 with a … commanding … win over Washington on Thursday Night time Soccer. After a detailed few quarters, the Eagles pulled away within the closing 10 minutes of the sport to take lead within the NFC East race. Right here’s a rookie evaluate!
Quinyon Mitchell: A+
Each week I’m hoping we are going to get Quinyon Mitchell’s first profession interception. The issue is that groups are simply kind of not concentrating on him. Towards Washington, Mitchell was focused as soon as and didn’t hand over a single catch. That is whereas he spent a superb a part of the sport trailing Terry McLaurin, who isn’t precisely a slouch. By way of 10 video games, Quinyon Mitchell has given up 23 catches on 41 targets (per Professional Soccer Focus). For context, Sauce Gardner gave up 22 catches via the primary 10 video games of his rookie season and he was named All-Professional. Thus far, so good for the Defensive Rookie of the Yr candidate.
Cooper DeJean: C
This was Cooper DeJean’s worst sport of his younger profession, however it nonetheless wasn’t terrible. The Commanders picked on DeJean a bit in the course of the sphere, and he additionally missed some tackles to surrender extra yards. He nonetheless gave rather a lot in run assist, however this was a superb sport for DeJean to be taught from.
The Relaxation
Each Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith noticed some snaps on offense however didn’t end the sport with any targets.
