The results on the scoreboard in the preseason mean very little, but the results on the field mean a great deal as a team begins to look for the final 53 players that will make up a roster.
In the Eagles preseason opener, there was some good, some bad, some ugly and a whole lot more.
Here are the grades for the Eagles this week.
Pass Offense – C+
Sam Bradford got one chance to pass and completed it before coming out of the game. Chase Daniel looked average at best, but also had to deal with a porous offensive line that has apparent depth issues and allowed far too much pressure for any quarterback to be successful. Carson Wentz's debut was solid. He made some good passes and both recognized and escaped pressure well but showed his flaws too. There's going to be a learning curve involved, but Wentz certainly has to tools to be molded into a potential star.
With the starters on the field, the offensive line was adequate. But take away Jason Peters, Brandon Brooks and Lane Johnson and it all falls apart at the seams. The offensive line was horrendous beyond the first-team, a big problem if the Eagles lose any player to injury or impending suspension.
Additionally, while Jordan Matthews wasn't playing and other starters were seldom used, the Eagles receivers still had trouble completing the catch. There is still too much pressure on the quarterbacks and too many drops in the field.
Run Offense – C
Ryan Mathews certainly showed his potential when healthy, but this preseason game was more about the players just trying to find a spot on the team. Cedric O'Neal had some good short-yardage carries and Kenjon Barner got a bulk of the workload in the running game, seven of the team's 26 carries.
Perhaps the biggest running play was a Carson Wentz draw where he flipped over a low tackle only to pop right back up. The rookie's got plenty of confidence to try just about anything.
Pass Defense – B+
The Eagles first-team defense was excellent. They essentially allowed nothing. In the first quarter, the Buccaneers managed one 79-yard drive and over the other three drives were held to 12 yards on 10 plays. Fletcher Cox showed signs of his play last year with a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery on Jameis Winston.
The Eagles also got three interceptions on Tampa Bay quarterbacks, including one in the endzone by C.J. Smith to seal the victory.
There were flaws too, as the Eagles allowed 298 passing yards to the Buccaneers, but that mainly came later in the game as the rookies got some valuable experience.
Run Defense – A-
The Eagles were good in this category, though the Buccaneers did not widely use the run. They carried the ball a total of 21 times and were held to just 31 yards.
Special Teams – B
This unit for the Eagles started things off with a bang, getting a fumble recovery on the opening kickoff. Chris Maragos played great, coming up with the fumble recovery on the kickoff and an interception later in the game on defense.
Both of the Eagles kick returns were solid, with Barner going for 47 yards and Josh Huff returning a kick for 37 yards. The coverage unit did give up a few good returns too, one being a 25-yard return by Donteea Dye and a 21-yard punt return by Jonathan Krause.
Donnie Jones boomed a 62-yard punt on one of his 10 punts in the game, Caleb Sturgis made the only field goal — a 42-yard attempt — and Cody Parkey also was successful on an extra point attempt.
