Lets break down the Philadelphia Eagles breeze counts from their Week 4 win (!) over the San Francisco 49ers, shall we?
Clement only had 2 carries for 3 yards. Safe to say the Eagles could manage to have much better running back depth behind Sanders.
Boston Scott logged just 2 carries for one backyard. No targets.
Adrian Killins outsnapped Corey Clement in his NFL launching. The Eagles used Killins in motion sometimes and tried with a sweep with him that resulted in -12 yards.
Richard Rodgers really made some strong contributions with Ertz getting so much attention. He had 3 receptions for 35 lawns and wouldve had even more if Wentz didnt overthrow him while he was open down the field for a portion gain.
No targets for Deontay Burnett.
OFFENSE
Jalen Hurts ran for 18 backyards on three efforts. 14 of those came when he added the gut on 3rd-and-34 late in the second quarter. The 49ers smelled out a trick play where he was expected to toss back to Carson Wentz.
He averaged 3.5 as a rush and had 2 receptions for 30 lawns. The Eagles oddly didnt utilize him on their final offensive drive … was he “tired out” once again?
Jordan Mailata made his first NFL start at left take on and didnt miss a breeze. He seemed to be okay out there!
Jalen Mills took snaps at outside cornerback with Avonte Maddox out and Trevor Williams on hurt reserve.
DEFENSE
John Hightower led all Eagles large receivers in playing time for the second week in a row. He just had 2 receptions for 22 lawns however among them came on a vital 4th-and-4 conversion.
Travis Fulgham officially started and logged the third most receiver snaps. He undoubtedly had the greatest play of the game with a 42-yard touchdown reception down the left sideline. Great Eagles debut for the 25-year-old!
Rodney McLeod hasnt missed a breeze this year. He developed the Eagles first takeaway given that Week 17 in 2015.
Lane Johnson began at right deal with however was in and out of the lineup due to the ankle injury thats been afflicting him. Jack Driscoll played at right tackle when Johnson was out.
Ertz had just 4 receptions for 9 yards on five total targets. We all know Ertz isnt great when it comes to yards after the catch but that much was specifically plain after seeing George Kittle be a beast in this video game.
Nathan Gerry is on the field too much
Fletcher Coxs effect undoubtedly goes beyond stats however he did not log a stat in this video game in spite of playing the 2nd most defensive line snaps.
Josh Sweats snap counts have reduced every week: 70% to 57% to 53% to 37%. Despite this, he still has one sack, one tackle for loss, and one quarterback hit in this game. That brings Sweat up to 3 sacks in four games this year.
T.J. Edwards didnt return after suffering a hamstring injury. That suggested more playing time for Alex Singleton, who gained from Nick Mullens throwing right at him to set up a choice six.
You may have formerly observed I provide Howie Roseman a great deal of shit for the Genard Avery trade. In my defense, he had a bad camp, he was a healthy scratch in Week 2, and he only had one tackle (no other stats) last week. But Avery was extremely efficient in this one with one sack, one take on for loss, and a team-leading FIVE quarterback hits. Now thats the production you d like to see more typically!
Duke Riley is on the field excessive.
Marcus Epps saw an increased function with Mills needing to play corner.
It was an active night for Derek Barnett. The 2017 first-round choice logged half a sack, one deal with for loss, and two quarterback hits. Excellent to see.
CreVon LeBlanc strip-sacked Nick Mullens at one point. Strap simply makes plays! The Eagles should not be so hesitant to play him.
Hassan Ridgeway participated the sack celebration.
Ford left the video game with a hamstring injury and didnt return. He made a good special teams tackle on punt coverage early in the game.
Not listed in the graphic however Luke Juriga also played 3 unique groups snaps.
SPECIAL TEAMS
KVon Wallace played a career high 27 defensive snaps. He struggled against Kittle sometimes but thats obviously a quite difficult draw. Great to see him on the field, nonetheless.
DID NOT PLAY
INACTIVE: Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Hakeem Butler, Avonte Maddox, Nate Sudfeld, Casey Toohill
ACTIVE: Jason Huntley, Jamon Brown
Ertz had just 4 receptions for 9 lawns on 5 total targets. We all know Ertz isnt great when it comes to yards after the catch however that much was especially plain after seeing George Kittle be a beast in this video game. Ertz hasnt been assisting his case for a brand-new contract; he just has 139 backyards so far. He balanced 3.5 as a rush and had two receptions for 30 lawns. Jalen Hurts ran for 18 yards on three efforts.
Jeffery may be able to return in Week 5.
With Scott and Clement not really producing, it could be excellent to offer Huntley some possibilities to see what he can do.
