is certainly scouring the waiver wire for such a talent. Maybe there’s a free agent on the street? But Clay should be able to coach up the hand he has been dealt.has been a revelation as a gunner. Elliott’s game-clinching 54-yard field goal against the Packers was huge. He missed an extra point and hasn’t been relied upon as much as usual. The ankle injury that forced the Eagles to acquire, who kicked the game-winner against the Arizona Cardinals, could still be lingering.
-deflected pass for an interception. A week after allowing four catches for 82 yards on six targets vs. the Indianapolis Colts, Scott wasn’t under siege as much. But Epps was and allowed four catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns when targeted by Packers quarterbacks. Maddox isn’t eligible to come off injured reserve for at least another week, so Gannon will likely just have to hold his breath and scheme up coverages to account for the undermanned personnel in the secondary.
Watkins has 11 catches for 171 yards and two scores in his last four games. In his first seven, he had only six catches for 88 yards and a touchdown. Watkins had the costly fumble against Washington two weeks back, but the Eagles have done well to get him involved with Goedert out and to give opposing defenses one more weapon to account for.The Eagles guard left another game briefly only to return and finish. Dickerson has been dealing with a leg injury of some sort.
More balanced offenses will be able to check to pass plays vs. run looks with more effectiveness. That is one reason why Gannon leans on his 4-2 front, and when he wants an odd-man front but wants to have nickel personnel, the 5-1. But he has to be more consistent in how he marries his pass rush with his coverages. It was a very odd performance from the defense. They had two interceptions, got off the field on six of seven third downs, and forced field goals on two of four red zone possessions.
The offense’s first-half turnover on downs and fumble didn’t help. Neither did the kickoff coverage. But mostly it was because the defense was wretched on first and second down. The Packers gained 223 of their 342 yards on just nine plays that occurred on early downs. The defense was lucky the offense was able to control a large chunk of the clock by running the ball. Gannon and his unit have been better than average for most weeks. But file this one under one of their lesser outings.
