Eagles stock up stock down after Week 3 loss to Cowboys Jalen Hurts at forefront of embarrassing performance
Citação de ymakerpi8d em 07/03/2024, 23:57The embarra sed themselves in front of a nationally televised audience, suffering a humiliating 41-21 lo s to the on "Monday Night Football" in a game where they were outmatched in all three phases. Nick Sirianni was outcla sed by Mike McCarthy -- who had a bad game himself -- failing to make adjustments during the game and abandoning the run (even when the game was still within reach).Not only were the Eagles knocked out by the Cowboys, they Zach Allen Jersey lost to a season-ending injury and went on injured reserve. Philadelphia is down three of its starting five offensive linemen after just three weeks, not good for an offensive line that started an NFL record 14 different offensive line combinations last year.The Eagles are beaten and bruised after just three games. Monday's defeat at the hands of the Cowboys showcased how far this team has fallen over the past few years, and the uphill battle they have to climb to be competitive again.There's plenty of stock to sell on this team, which may be heading towards a freefall as October begins. What else is there to say about Hargrave at this point? The Eagles defensive tackle has been phenomenal through the first three games of the season, including two sacks, two quarterback hits and a tackle for lo s Monday night. Hargrave led the Eagles with three pre sures and finished with five tackles, including getting pre sure on that led to the fumblepicked up for a score. Javon Hargrave strip-sack Fletcher Cox TD PFF ( Max Garcia Jersey @PFF) Double teamed most of the night, Hargrave turned in an excellent performance. He's the first Eagles' player to register two-plus sacks in two of the first three games of the season since in 2006. Hargrave leads all interior defensive linemen in defensive stops (17), pre sures (14) and sacks (four). He's been outstanding for the Eagles thus far.Fletcher CoxJust one pre sure on the stat sheet, but Cox did make an impact that wasn't in the box score. The Cowboys double teamed Cox and Javon Hargrave throughout the night, yet Cox was able to find his way into the backfield and make an impact -- recovering a fumble for a touchdown. The Cowboys double teamed Cox and Hargrave to get to the Eagles linebackers on inside runs, and they greatly succeeded in doing so. Cox did show he can still make an impact on the Eagles defense. The sack numbers and pre sures will come.It wasn't much on the stat sheet, but Ertz finished with four catches for 53 yards and a touchdown -- his first score since Week 1 of the 2020 season. Nice to see the Eagles target Ertz and throughout the night, as the duo combined for 119 receiving yards. Jalen Hurts and Eagles go 90 yards!!! Zach Ertz TD!!! Jeff Skversky (@JeffSkversky) When things are bad, the punter makes this list. Sipo s deserves some praise after punting six times Monday night, two Isaiah Simmons Jersey of which landed inside the Dallas 20-yard line. Sipo s has six such punts after three games, which is tied for sixth in the NFL. The Eagles took a gamble on Sipo s this offseason -- and it's paid off.Hurts turned in the worst performance of his young career, throwing two interceptions and not accumulating significant pa sing yards until the game was out of hand. Both of Hurts' interceptions were on poor throws, the first on an underthrown ball and the second a result of staring down -- making it easy for to read the quarterback and take the interception the other way for a touchdown. Hurts throws his 2nd interception and Trevon Diggs returns it for 59 yards.. Brodes Media (@BrodesMedia) Hurts was 9 of 10 on play-action pa ses, but the concept is ineffective when the Eagles don't run the ball. The Eagles quarterback has his deficiencies, but the coaching staff isn't putting him in the best position to succeed either.Sanders shouldn't be on this list, as he averaged 13.5 yards per carry. Here's the problem: he had just two carries for 27 yards. Sanders was completely abandoned -- as was the entire run offense -- as Eagles running backs totaled just three carries in the lo s. That's just unacceptable from Sirianni. The Eagles have to get Sanders involved in the offense more.DeVonta SmithJust a rough night for Smith, who recorded just three catches for 28 yards while being targeted six times. Diggs got the better of Smith throughout the night, as Smith had just two catches for nine yards with Diggs covering him.Hurts had a 23.6 pa ser rating when targeting Smith, who seems to have hit a rookie wall, even though the Eagles are asking him to be the No. 1 wideout. Another poor night for Dickerson, who earned his first-career start filling in for the injured . In 53 pa s blocking snaps, Dickerson allowed four pre sures, including a sack and two hurries. He's allowed nine pre sures in 73 pa s blocking snaps through two games. He also had an ineligible receiver downfield penalty on this strong throw from Hurts. Landon Dickerson ineligible downfield right before Hurts' best throw of the night Brodes Media (@BrodesMedia) The Eagles clearly mi sed Brooks on Bernhard Seikovits Jersey the offensive line, as Dickerson isn't ready for a starting role yet. The hope for the Eagles is Dickerson improves with more reps.Herbig filled in for Seumalo and struggled, allowing two pre sures on 18 pa s blocking snaps. Herbig is the projected starter at left guard as Seumalo is done for the season, and he must perform better if he wants a future with the Eagles. Johnson played 28 snaps at linebacker, which was too many. The Eagles were trying anything to stop the Cowboys, but Johnson isn't the answer there. He finished with three tackles and a run stop, while his mi sed tackle percentage was 33.3%.Wilson has been a huge disappointment through three games. His tackling i sues continued in the lo s to Dallas, mi sing one and struggling to bring down ball carriers who came his way. Dallas clearly wanted to get to the second level and challenge Wilson, which worked. He finished with a mi sed tackle percentage of 16.7%.Singleton recorded 10 tackles, but he was bulldozed and battered by throughout the game. The Eagles have i sues stopping the run, and none became more evident than watching Singleton Monday night. And while he's usually strong in pa s coverage, Singleton allowed two catches on Maxx Williams Jersey both targets that came his way, one of which went for a touchdown.Rough night for Slay in coverage, but that was also due to lack of pre sure on the quarterback. Slay was targeted in coverage seven times, allowing two touchdowns as Prescott had an 136.6 pa ser rating when throwing in Slay's direction.The good news for Slay? He allowed just six catches for 51 yards on the night, allowing just 7.3 yards per target. The touchdowns allowed certainly hurt Slay's performance.
