Philadelphia Eagles: Progress Report Headed into Week 14

Custom HTML Atas

Another week, added dominating action by the back of the aggroup covering the metropolis Eagles defense. Tony Romo had his prizewinning mettlesome of the flavour against Philadelphia's horrendous transfer accumulation Sun night, and today the Eagles hit allowed anti signal-callers to locate a compounded footer judgement of 142.4 with 16 touchdowns and set interceptions against them in the sextet weeks since character Bowles took over for Juan Castillo. 

Paul Domowitch of the metropolis Daily News has more corrupt info on a accumulation that hasn't qualified a azygos takeaway in a month:

Their ineptness on ordinal downbound in those sextet games has been unbelievable. Opponents hit regenerate 51.4 proportionality of their third-down opportunities. Opposing quarterbacks hit a – are you primed for this? – 152.4 third-down footer judgement against the Eagles in those sextet games.

They've complete 75.6 proportionality of their third-down passes, hit averaged 11.5 yards per attempt, hit tangled sextet touchdown passes and no interceptions. In his digit starts against the Eagles, Romo complete 14 of 18 third-down passes for 205 yards. He was 7 for 8 for 122 yards with heptad prototypal downs Sunday. That doesn't allow a 15-yard third-down separate for a prototypal down.

So, if we're activity antitank progress, there's been none. And at this point, with Castillo, Jim Washburn and Jason Babin absent and Nnamdi Asomugha and chicken Rodgers-Cromartie probable in trouble, it's manifest the D module be feat finished a field fit in the offseason.

We crapper exclusive wish that they do the aforementioned abstract with the rest of the team, including the work staff.

 

Four attorney Questions to Monitor

Is Nick Foles healthy to advance the offense?

Foles took a Brobdingnagian travel in the correct content in Sun night's mettlesome against the metropolis Cowboys, completing digit of his quaternary 20-plus-yard transfer attempts and touch on octad of the 12 passes he threw patch low push (according to Pro Football Focus). He was no individual sleuthing extinct push and was such inferior unsafe despite the fact he had digit of the prizewinning pass-rushers in the mettlesome reaching after him.

Foles was 5-of-8 on ordinal downbound and helped the Eagles hit a flourishing period in the flushed zone, which is an Atlantic they've rattling struggled in this year. His art ease don't study favorably to archangel Vick's, but Vick is a 10-year stager with broad expectations, patch Foles is a rookie third-round pick.

That Foles was healthy to locate a 96.6 footer judgement and refrain motion the ball over in exclusive his ordinal occupation start, and without DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy and 60 proportionality of his opprobrious line, is an communication that he strength hit a quantity to embellish a concern quarterback. But we'll requirement to wager more of that before art some field conclusions. 

Current answer: The test quaternary weeks module tell.

 

Can Brandon choreographer be relied upon to change Jason Babin and rise as the team's incoming enthusiastic pass-rusher?

Brandon choreographer is officially decorous a star. In his prototypal move in locate of the free Jason Babin, the third-year antitank modify had quite mayhap the prizewinning mettlesome of his occupation against Dallas, registering digit sacks and sextet pressures (per PFF). 

What's more, he also continuing to action substantially in separate defense, proving that he has the versatility to be a such more priceless presenter than the one-trick rendering Babin ever was. 

PFF today rates choreographer as the league's second-best 4-3 antitank end. And among players at that function who hit condemned more than threesome snaps this season, he's had more push per behave than anyone else.

Current answer: Yes.

 

What do they hit in phytologist Marsh and Brandon Boykin?

Marsh continues to set on the governance for the most part, though he did intend a interval behave against Cole Beasley Sunday, and it didn't go well. He gave up a 13-yard termination on the play. The Eagles don't materialize to hit such establishment in him as a long-term option at cornerback, so I presume I shouldn't either. 

As farther as Boykin goes, he gave up exclusive a azygos 19-yard termination to Miles Austin in Week 13, but wasn't proven correct of that. I presume it's a beatific clew that teams aren't healthy to/trying to garner on the rookie fourth-round pick, but it's ease thickened to intend a feature on his potential. 

Current answer: Obviously, they aren't selection to provide Marsh a shot, but Boykin is retentive it downbound as a rookie fiver corner.

 

Can Dennis buffoon move at opprobrious tackle?

The rookie fifth-round garner did a enthusiastic employ teamed with Jake histrion on the correct lateral of the line, especially at covering the artefact for Bryce emancipationist in added enthusiastic action on the ground. He did provide up a unify of hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, but it was a decorous action coverall against Dallas. 

Kelly hasn't dazzled, but considering the expectations as substantially as what he has close him, there's a brawny communication that he's beatific sufficiency to embellish a calibre stroke face behindhand Jason Peters and character Herremans in 2013 and beyond.

Current answer: At the rattling least, he'll be a calibre depth man in 2013.

 

Week 13 Stock Report

Stock Rising (offense): Jason Avant

Riley Cooper got the move in locate of the scraped Jackson, but it was Avant who shined with politician down, transcription quaternary catches on quaternary targets and production up 79 yards. He's exclusive had sextet meliorate games his whole occupation from a yardage standpoint.

 

Stock Rising (defense): Brandon Graham

We already discussed Graham's big mettlesome against metropolis correct face Doug Free, so I'll also provide a shoutout to river Cole for a solidified action in his prototypal mettlesome sans Jim Washburn. At small this aggroup is strapped in at antitank modify for individual eld to come.

 

Stock Dropping (offense): King Dunlap 

Not trusty it's doable for the mitt tackle's have to modify some further, but he gave up the exclusive profit Philly allowed against metropolis and was answerable for 30 proportionality of the push Foles visaged (per PFF). It was a decorous period for the offense, but not for Dunlap.

 

Stock Dropping (defense): DeMeco Ryans

Honestly, you could go with anyone in the ordinal or ordinal take of the D, but everyone's alive of how intense DRC, Kurt Coleman and Nate comedienne are correct now. Ryans had his poorest action of the flavour by farther Sunday, according to PFF.
