Chip Kelly
If there was one part of the Eagles offense that had some moderate success in Sunday night’s loss to the Panthers, it was the running game. The Eagles tallied a total of 177 rushing yards for the game, primarily split between DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews. Murray had 18 carries for 65 yards. Mathews […]
Let's not sugarcoat this: Sam Bradford has not played well this season. But it's time to stop pinning all the blame on Bradford for the Eagles struggles offensively. The holes in the offense were clear in Sunday night's loss to the Panthers. Eight drops by wide receivers. Jason Peters left the game in the […]
After taking care of business against the Giants and jumping back into first place in the NFC East with back-to-back wins, the Eagles face another challenge on Sunday night. The Carolina Panthers are one of five teams that remain undefeated. This latest test for Chip Kelly and Co. has the Eagles positioned to enter […]
Drew Brees was never comfortable on Sunday afternoon. That’s probably because three times during the Eagles Week 5 win over the Saints, a big No. 91 was knocking him to the ground. Twice on those three sacks for Fletcher Cox, the ball was knocked loose. Both times, they were recovered, once by Cox himself. […]
Week 4: More of the same. A slow start offensively. A lack of fundamentals. The inability to run. The inability to block. Injuries. It's starting to become worse than the "Dream Team" season. The Eagles third loss of the 2015 season, in a nutshell, summed up the Eagles lack of ability and failure to live […]
The early-season woes continued for some Eagles in Week 3, despite the team stepping up in the absence of many starters to claim the first victory of the season. With the first one out of the way, maybe a Week 4 divisional game is when the Eagles kick it into gear. Of course, there is […]
The injury report seemed to make the Eagles Week 3 game against the Jets an unlikely win. Shorthanded on defense, the Eagles got players to step up. Offensively, it was another struggle to the finish. One big quarter paced the Eagles. It was nearly not enough. At 1-2, the Eagles have life and have […]
So much of the last year has been spent analyzing Chip Kelly's first draft class and while Jordan Matthews has high potential to become a star receiver, Kelly's first-round pick in 2014, Marcus Smith, has barely seen the field, even in his second year. On Sunday, it was Kelly's second draft class stealing the […]
Patrick Causey, on Twitter @InsdetheHuddle. The Philadelphia Eagles face-off against the red-hot New York Jets in MetLife Stadium today at 1 p.m. in a must-win situation. Win and the Eagles salvage whatever chance they have left of turning this season around, especially given the dire nature of the rest of the NFC East. But lose and the […]
There were several times on Sunday when DeMarco Murray was visibly frustrated with the running game, or lack thereof. It was the second straight game Murray and Co. couldn’t get things going on the ground. Things got so back for the running backs, who couldn’t establish the run behind a porous offensive line, that Chip […]
