Another good game by the Defense and another not so good game by the offense. Cause for concern, nope, not yet.
1. Wentz - Didn't get in rhythm until they went no huddle. Saw that a lot last year from him too. Not terrible game, had a pass or two he wished he would have had back. Once again didn't have much time in the pocket.
2. Offensive Line - Yet another starter not playing this week in Peters. With Vaiti hurt that caused Johnson to play at LT, a position he only practiced for two days this week. I have never been a fan of flip flopping tackles throughout the year. The Eagles need to find a good backup solution to Peters. I would have just let Gordon Play. Kelce looked better this week, still struggling in the run game though.
3. Cory Clement - Showed a real nice move and burst to the outside on his long run then followed with a bull type move to score his TD. Not sure why this kid wasn't drafted. I think he has a chance to be a good rotational back in the NFL.
4. Barnett - This kid can play, I said when they drafted him and I am saying it again now. He is a disrupt-er, even when he doesn't get the sack or TFL. I would love to see him mix in some with the 1's
5. Sturgis - Shaky, is a key term for him right now. That concerns me.
6. Marcus Johnson - Kid showed a real nice burst on the slant pattern he caught. We have some good developmental receivers on this team now. A couple may get cut and surface elsewhere.
7. Ron Darby - Its been a while since we have had a capable CB in this town. Might be the best corner we have had since Asante. He won't Intercept a ton of balls but his closing speed is going to cause issues for QB's. He is going to make the rest of the defense better.
8. Kendricks - Interesting when Schwartz uses him to his strengths pass rushing, playing around the line of scrimmage he shows why everyone thought he was a star in the making. He also needs to stay healthy.
9. Defensive Line - We are deep, not just at Defensive end but Hamilton looks good at DT as a run stuffer, Jernigan is tough to block, and Fletch has looked like a man possessed
10. Officiating - Muscles Hoccoli looked good last night. I think his forearms are bigger than last year. Its amazing that we saw him more than the actual players. I get it some of those penalties were legit but all the ticky tacky calls really hurt the flow of the game. The NFL really needs to figure a way out of this. Its hurting the product on the field. Its so bad that after every good play I immediately look to the box on the screen to see if its yellow.
