Lane Johnson, who hasn't allowed a sack this season, leads all
@NFL
RTs with an 83.6
@PFF
offensive grade (min. 600 snaps). He is also the only RT with Top 3 pass blocking (79.7, 3rd) and run blocking (77.5, 3rd) grades (min. 300 snaps each).
#FlyEaglesFly
I highlighted
#Eagles
rookie DT Jordan Davis last week ... and he followed that up with a season-high 29 snaps and a really strong outing vs
#AZCardinals
.
Davis consistently changed the LOS in this game. Awesome to see his improvement the last couple of weeks.
#FlyEaglesFly
DeVonta Smith's body control is superb. Shows up as a route runner but also at the catch point. Alien-like catches here that not many in the NFL could make all in one game
#FlyEaglesFly
#Eagles
LT Jordan Mailata was RIDICULOUS on Sunday. Every physical trait you could imagine up front. His impact is felt every time you turn the tape on, but especially so in this game

Another
#Eagles
newcomer really had a nice debut, LB Kyzir White (
@KyzirWhite8
).
Run game / Pass game he flashed constantly. Here were some of my favorite plays
#FlyEaglesFly
#Eagles
LT Jordan Mailata catches my eye every week....
...but this rep is something else.
Think his Rugby days played a factor on this one? Look at this tackle!!! That's 350 pounds!
#FlyEaglesFly
The
#Eagles
offensive coaches were busy in the bye week ...
They threw a bunch of curve balls at the
#Steelers
, adding wrinkles to their staple concepts time and time again
#FlyEaglesFly
I thought Jordan Mailata had a solid day vs the
#Steelers
, and this was my favorite run block. Always looks great on the move, and on this one he steamrolls TJ Watt in the hole on the goal line
#FlyEaglesFly
Jordan Mailata made his 1st start on Sunday night.
Not his first NFL start ... his first START .... playing football ... ever!
6'8, 340 pounds.
Light feet. Strong anchor.
Thought he more than held his own in this matchup. Excited to watch him moving forward
#FlyEaglesFly
This 2-minute drill from the
#Eagles
offense and Jalen Hurts was OUTSTANDING. Hurts burned the
#Falcons
blitz multiple ways, knew where his answers were, and made big-time throws

DE Derek Barnett every year of his career going back to his freshman season at Tennessee.
He's ALWAYS been a hustle player (see below) but these pass rush moves on the tail end of this clip? Woof! He's showing an improved ability to win inside
#FlyEaglesFly
Not enough people talking about Milton Williams' performance on Sunday
Run Game. Pass Game. Doesn't matter - he was really impressive. Again showing that he can win in multiple ways. Got the start up front and made plays from Snap 1 on

Breaking News!
Our first-round pick got here about a month after the
#NFLDraft
. Francis Michael Duffy IV was born just after 9pm on Friday night and he is perfect in every way. My wife is AMAZING and is doing well after an incredible journey. How long until I teach him Cover 2?
The Eagles traded for Genard Avery this afternoon, a player with explosive traits who can explode upfield and turn the corner. He's got legit juice off the edge and joins a team where he can just fly upfield and wreak havoc as a subpackage rusher.

The

For the second week in a row I thought the communication on the back end of the
#Eagles
defense was really, really strong. Big-time development in Year 2 of this scheme.
Well-executed disguises and match coverages here that helped lead to sacks on Sunday
#FlyEaglesFly
Dallas Goedert is a Top 3 TE in the NFL because of EVERYTHING he does in this
#Eagles
offense
Didn't have the explosive plays in the pass game this week - but his value and his versatility showed up a number of times.
@goedert33
is such a vital part of the
#FlyEaglesFly
offense
Let’s maybe hold off on the negative Daniel Jones declarations, memes and chest pounding as we watch a rookie QB on the road against the No. 1 ranked defense in the NFL without his two top pass targets and a No. 3 RB on a short week.
Going to be fun watching Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis for a long time here in
#Eagles
green
Both guys played a TON of snaps on Sunday by necessity and they consistently flashed throughout the game
#FlyEaglesFly
JJ Arcega-Whiteside made one of the best catches by an
#Eagles
WR all season with this over-the-shoulder grab on Monday night. Outstanding ball tracking skills but it starts with his ability to beat the jam and hold the red line outside the numbers
#FlyEaglesFly

C Jason Kelce had a couple of highlight blocks on Sunday. Whether he's on the move or just knocking people off the ball it's been such a joy to watch him do this for a decade now here in Philadelphia

I don’t care what he does in the next 11 mins, Jalen Hurts is everything that is right with college football and he’s more the exception than the norm in today’s world of collegiate athletes. Could’ve transferred like so many have and would have. Stayed. Competed. Here he is now.
I thought Jordan Davis had his best game as an Eagle on Sunday
Disruptive vs the pass and the run, winning early and late - and look at the motor on

Cre'Von LeBlanc played so well on Sunday and came up with a number of key stops in clutch moments. Pass game, run game, didn't matter, LeBlanc BATTLES in the slot
#FlyEaglesFly
#Eagles
WR AJ Brown had a record-setting day on Sunday and won at all three levels of the field.
Quick / Intermediate / Deep ... didn't matter.
@1kalwaysopen_
came through with a huge day
Career-high 155 yards the most ever for a

One guy who popped on every single drive last night? Milton Williams. Has taken huge strides every year as a pro and is playing his best football

LB Kyzir White continues his high level of play. Really impressive showing vs Dallas on

Gap schemes? Zone schemes?
Didn't matter.
Miles Sanders (
@BoobieMilesXXIV
) was effective pre-injury on Sunday vs the
#Giants
. Love the lead block for Boston Scott here at the end as well
#FlyEaglesFly
It was a joy going back and watching Jalen Hurts on tape against the Chiefs in
#SBLVII
. Made some outstanding throws in-rhythm on the biggest stage. Look at the ball placement on some of these plays!
#FlyEaglesFly
Nolan Smith's traits are through the roof - excited to see it all come together for him as a pass rusher. In the mean time, flashes like this are great to see!
#FlyEaglesFly
Jalen Hurts diced up the
#Packers
on Sunday on third down and always seemed one step ahead with his arm and his legs. A few of my favorite reps from the
#FlyEaglesFly
offense in this game..
The entire
#Eagles
DL really stood out to me on film - but the two guys I wanted to spotlight today are Josh Sweat and Javon Hargrave.
Sweat's second sack of the day, matched up with one of the best OL in the NFL, was one of my favorite reps by any Eagle on Sunday

Shot 1 -
#Eagles
DT Fletcher Cox was a monster on Thursday night against the
#Falcons
. These are just a few of his dominant pass rushes. Continues to prove that he's one of the top defensive players in the league. He is a force.
#FlyEaglesFly
All eyes were on
#Eagles
1st-Round Pick Andre Dillard on Thursday night, and he did not disappoint. We knew about his great feet, but look at the hand usage on some of these clips. Great to see from the rookie.
#FlyEaglesFly
The
#Eagles
' ability to drop their edge rushers into coverage came up huge on Saturday night
Not only does it create opportunities for others, but it keeps the QB and offense guessing from snap-to-snap
#FlyEaglesFly
I never thought I'd be breaking down first half fake FG tries, but happy Monday!
Here's what the
#Eagles
saw on the play, and why you have to give the
#Vikings
credit for stopping it. A conversion, at LEAST, gives the offense multiple shots at the end zone before halftime
When the time is right - I believe Jason Kelce walks into Canton as a first-ballot Hall Of Famer
Why?
I re-watched EVERY snap of his career to explain
#FlyEaglesFly
#GoBirds
You don't want your QB making throws across his body .... unless he's a special talent who can make throws at all levels of the field from across his body.
Silly throw from Carson Wentz to hit TE Josh Perkins for a TD
#FlyEaglesFly
Jim Johnson was an innovator who changed the NFL, and today marks 10 years since he passed. I got some help in breaking down one of my favorite games of his as
#Eagles
defensive coordinator, and what made him such a legendary figure

S Marcus Epps
Outstanding read on Play 2 in this cutup for a PBU on 3rd down

QB Matthew Stafford is unquestionably one of the best pure arm talents in the world. Can test a defense on any snap down the field and is willing to take chances deep, making throws from a variety of angles and platforms. Big test for the
#Eagles
defense Sunday.
#OnePride
#FlyEaglesFly
offense is facing a TON of loaded boxes this season ... but that doesn't mean they can't still mash people on the ground!
#Eagles
put on a spread run game clinic on Sunday - the threat of QB Run / RPO is lethal

WR Travis Fulgham became the first WR since
@terrellowens
in 2004 to catch 3 TDs in his first 3 games. This one came on a Cover 0 blitz where Carson Wentz just let his guy go up and make a play
#FlyEaglesFly
Watching Greg Ward continue to develop chemistry with Carson Wentz has been exciting. These guys were on the same page time and time again on Sunday night. Watch how early the ball is coming out on these throws and how little adjusting Ward has to do on the back end
#FlyEaglesFly
We got to see Davion Taylor for a handful of snaps on defense on Sunday - and on this one you can really see the extra gear this kid has in the open field. Excited to watch his development over the next couple of years
#FlyEaglesFly
The game-winning TD from Carson Wentz to Boston Scott
The
#Giants
bracketed the 2 inside WRs - Wentz stepped up and saw Scott releasing vertically. Scott said post-game that he ran a lot of routes to the flat all game and when Peppers stepped up he leaked downfield
#FlyEaglesFly
5 more sacks for the
#Eagles
defense on Saturday, and again the tight coverage on the back end was a big reason why
#FlyEaglesFly
zone coverage schemes were outstanding. The way they matched and plastered routes, passing things off mid-stream, was very impressive
One of my favorite plays in football...
the Wham play.
Extremely well-executed from the
#Eagles
here against the
#Packers
. Dallas Goedert and Jason Peters get outstanding blocks, Sanders trusts it and flies through the crease, creating an X-play in the run game
#FlyEaglesFly
Carson Wentz's TOUGHNESS was put on full display this week
That was one of my many takeaways after watching the All-22 on Monday, come read my recap and see why he, Jordan Mailata, Jalen Hurts, Josh Sweat and others really flashed

DT Jalen Carter (

Great first week - excited to see him continue to build off of it as he sees more vets!

#Eagles
rookie Tyler Steen got the start at LT and then slid to RG in his preseason debut on Saturday.
My big takeaway?
This guy is a BULLY in the run game 💪
Have seen a lot of this in camp all summer but it's great to see it carry over under the lights
#FlyEaglesFly
Buzzed through the
#Cardinals
offensive starters really quick this afternoon. Not shocked at all about KeeSean Johnson’s buzz this summer. Saw routes like this all over his Fresno State film (minus the penalty). They kept it easy for Kyler, quick game, well-defines throws
What DTs got the highest percentage of plays with a positive grade vs the run this year from

1. Aaron Donald
2. Derrick Brown
3. Christian Wilkins
4. Milton Williams
