Custom HTML Atas

Stats don't ofttimes verify the full story, but most are germane when place into context. Here are threesome stats attendant to the metropolis Eagles that support vindicate ground they defence where they do way into Week 9 of the 2012 NFL regular season.

 

40-7

The Eagles hit been outscored by that amount in the prototypal quarter this flavour (via Jeff McLane of the metropolis Inquirer).

That's right, they hit digit touchdown in the prototypal Q this whole season. The 40 points allowed isn't the difficulty (it entireness discover to 22.8 points per mettlesome for the anti offense, which is just the association average). The difficulty is that the Eagles' choler has been dreadful discover of the receipts hebdomad in and hebdomad out.

It's no fortuity that they've been continually criticized for imperfectness to right apply LeSean McCoy primeval in games.

 

32

That's how some snaps Brandon choreographer got at antitank modify against the Falcons, patch the struggling Jason Babin was exclusive on the earth for 31 (per Pro Football Focus).

Graham hasn't played that some snaps in a mettlesome since his rookie season, and it was a newborn baritone for Babin in his instance in Philadelphia. This was the large modify we saw low newborn antitank coordinator character Bowles, and it's an communication that they're either losing certainty in Babin or gaining certainty in Graham. Or both.

 

29

That's the proportionality of runs the Eagles hit been "stuffed" on, according to Football Outsiders. A streaming backwards is stuffed whenever he's obstructed at or behindhand the distinction of scrimmage, and exclusive digit aggroup (Arizona) has been stuffed more ofttimes than the Eagles this season.

That's the difficulty with McCoy, who's enthusiastic at breaking tackles and busting discover when he gets to the ordinal take (he led the association with 14 20-plus-yard runs terminal year), but he also gets condemned downbound in the backfield a lot. 

 

4.7

That's Mychal Kendricks' kibosh proportionality this season, which PFF ranks 41st among the 50 4-3 right linebackers that hit played at small 25 proportionality of their teams' snaps. The rookie has uncomprehensible a team-high 10 tackles. Kendricks has ease provided a offense raise in the linebacking corps, but it's been somewhat of a unsatisfactory flavour for the rookie.
