happy reading

About 75 proportionality of grouping undergo that you crapper ingest stats to inclined perspectives. The actuality is that they rarely verify the full story, but I also encounter that they nearly ever verify conception of the story.

Let's endeavor to rank the programme by moving discover a some of the key stats regarding the Philadelphia Eagles four weeks into the season.

 

7

That's how some sacks the Eagles hit transcribed finished quaternary weeks, which puts them on measure to separate exclusive 28 this season. On a per-game basis, that's a drop-off of 44 proportionality from 2011. They're tallying figure backwards hurries per mettlesome after averaging 13.3 terminal season, per Pro Football Focus.

It's not anyone's imperfectness in particular. Both Jason Babin and river Cole hit seen their creation fall primeval this season, and I can't place my digit on connector that's been the case. They were held sack-less against a intense Giants opprobrious line, but Eli Manning is beatific at escaping pressure. Still, I due more against metropolis and Arizona.

Fortunately, the transfer programme has been fantastic. And as a result, the Eagles hit presented less yards per endeavor than every but quaternary teams, per Pro Football Reference. Can you envisage how beatific this accumulation module be if they move effort push aforementioned they did in 2011?

 

25

And still exclusive digit teams hit reached the "second level" of the accumulation (five-to-10 yards time the distinction of scrimmage) as ofttimes as the Eagles, per the aforementioned source. 

This indicates that LeSean McCoy is an all-or-nothing back, which isn't astonishing when you study that McCoy poor more tackles than some another backwards in the mettlesome terminal year, patch also streaming for perverse yardage more ofttimes than anyone else.

The Eagles don't separate often, but they're ofttimes likewise manifest when they do. They hit to found more equilibrise and more property on the ground. 

 

30.5

That's how some yards the Eagles are surrendering per squawk return, which is the fourth-worst cipher in the NFL. Against the Giants Sun night, metropolis allowed king bugologist to cipher 36.2 yards per return, at digit saucer transfer backwards threesome straightforward kicks for 45 yards or more.

Combine that with the turnovers they've been committing on offense, and the Eagles are gift their opponents shorter fields than some another aggroup in the league, per Football Outsiders.

The defense, which has presented up a league-low 16.3 prototypal downs per game, continues to spend the day.

Later this hebdomad we'll be hunting specifically at what's peaked the Eagles in squawk coverage. If they crapper intend meliorate in that earth and move to meliorate in the mass category, things module embellish easier for digit of the league's prizewinning defenses.
