Episode notes
Passing Game Regression And Receiver Responsibility
- The Eagles' passing game regressed after strong performances in prior weeks and played as a grab bag of concepts.
- Receivers must do a better job of coming back to the football to help Jalen Hurts get the ball out quickly.
Attack Third-And-Long, Don't Ground The Playbook
- Be more aggressive on clear passing downs instead of calling safe runs like using Will Shipley on third-and-long.
- Attack predictable situations to avoid stalled drives and make play-calling less conservative.
Phillips' Return Supercharges Edge Rush
- Jalen Phillips' return transformed the Eagles' pass rush and he looked near full strength.
- The bye week and rotation additions (Phillips, Nolan Smith, BG) noticeably fortified the edge rush depth.
