PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Three years after the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles are thriving.
There are doubts about safety in coach Doug Pederson’s task and Carson Wentz’s long career as a quarterback, but the task of tearing down the team begins from above.
The Eagles (3-7-1) have missed the draft extraordinarily since Howie Roseman regained workers’ body decisions after Chip Kelly’s firing in December 2015.
Each team went to open catcher DK Metcalf, who decided to go through the Seahawks with the last selection out of the current circular of the 2019 draft, but the Eagles jumped him three times and eliminated JJArcega-Whiteside with his circular moment selection at the moment. Arcega-Whiteside has 12 receptions in its career and is inactive in smart physical condition before the touchdown on the reserve list / COVID-19.
Metcalf had 10 receptions for 177 yards in Seattle’s 23-17 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He has already gained 1,039 yards this season and touchdowns, one more than any Philadelphia catcher combined.
The Eagles took wide receiver Jalen Reagor 21 in this year’s draft. Reagor has 19 receptions for 222 yards and one landing in six games, missing due to injuries. Justin Jefferson went to Minnesota with the next option. He has 52 receptions for 918 yards and six landings.
Philadelphia then took Quarterback Jalen Hurts in the round of the moment, even though Wentz’s four-year, $128 million contract extension begins next year. Violation.
The draft goes further back.
Wentz is the only player chosen through Philadelphia since 2014 to make a Pro Bowl. Nobody’s an All-Pro.
The organization’s fortune index in the first selections has been abysmal since lane Johnson and closed wing Zach Ertz were the first two options in 2013.
Pederson accepted the blame for the terrible functionality of the attack, Wentz and the players did the same.
Does the front-end job to the coach play its part in the team’s fights?
“These conversations are private,” Pederson said Monday. ” I’m not going to get into that. This is not the time or position to interact in such conversations. “
THAT WORKS
Wentz was the ultimate cash in throwing tight finishers and especially in designed deployments, those games were not very called. Dallas Goedert had seven receptions for 75 yards and a TD opposed to Seattle, but also turned in the opposite direction in a fourth pass that resulted in an interception in the finish area. Richard Rodgers hit three passes for 53 yards and one touchdown.
NEED HELP
The offensive line allowed Seattle to get six catches and many hits. The unit lacks Johnson, Andre Dillard and three-time Pro Bowl right guard Brandon Brooks. Only two original players manage to play. The team used 12 other line adjusters, adding another 10 line combinations. Four line players started their first race this season. The left-hand version of Jordan Mailata, a former rugby star, learns football at work.
storefront
Defensive finisher Derek Barnett made two saves in the fourth and quarters at the moment in the first quarter. He faced David Moore for a five-yard loss to Eagles 2 and captured Russell Wilson of the Philadelphia 37 in Seattle practice.
STOCK DOWN
Open catcher Travis Fulgham has scored 4 out of 14 goals in the last three games after a five-game streak. He had 28 receptions for 427 yards and four touchdowns after making his Eagles debut on October 4.
Hurt
Ertz (ankle) can return to action this week.
KEY NUMBER
3 – The Eagles have 3 interceptions this season, none of their cornerers.
NEXT STEPS
The Eagles make a stopover at the Green Bay Packers (8-3) on Sunday. Despite a lousy record, Philadelphia is only part of a Giants (4-7) and Washington (4-7) game in the sad NFC East.
