Let’s get to Philly Eagles Left …
NFL Roster Rankings for All 32 Teams for 2022: Strengths, Weaknesses, and X-Factors for Each Starting Lineup – PFF
7.Philadelphia Eagles. Greatest Strength: If they don’t have the best offensive line in the NFL going into the 2022 season, the Eagles are at the top of the list. Jordan Mailata emerged as one of the top young left tackles in the league last season, finishing second in the PFF score (91.2) (only behind Trent Williams) when he competed there. Alongside Mailata’s development, Lane Johnson remains one of the league’s top right tackles entering his 10th NFL season, and center Jason Kelce is coming off a first-team All-Pro appearance in 2021. Biggest Weakness: The addition of James Bradberry alongside Darius Slay and Avonte Maddox removes many questions surrounding cornerback position, but security remains a potential weak point in defense. Anthony Harris has earned two consecutive PFF grades below 70 after being one of the league’s top-rated safety players during the 2018-19 seasons in Minnesota. The Eagles will look to Harris, K’Von Wallace, Marcus Epps and new signing Jaquiski Tartt to up their game in 2022. X-Factor for 2022: While the Eagles did a good job strengthening this roster over the past year, they will only go as far as Jalen Hurts carries them. Hurts showed real progress last year in his second season from Oklahoma when he finished the season 14th out of 32 qualified quarterbacks overall — a feat that offered real value for a rookie deal. However, his 45.3 PFF score in the postseason loss to the Buccaneers underscores the problems the Eagles will face late in the campaign against defenses that will force Hurts to beat them if he doesn’t make another step forward in 2022 power.
10 Reasons the Eagles Will Be a Dumpster Fire This Season – PhillyVoice
Ultimately, the Eagles’ season ended in part because Hurts’ most worrying preseason attributes came out in a big way in their last game. Looking ahead, it seems like Eagles fans/media/team staff almost unanimously believe Hurts will improve in his third NFL season. I believe that the possibility of regression is underestimated. Wait, regression, as in, he might be going in the wrong direction? Sure, why not? It happens. Certainly, Tampa didn’t respect the Eagles’ ability to punch them through the air. They let Hurts stay in the pocket, or if he wanted to flee they made sure it was to his left, where he clearly wasn’t comfortable. […] I understand the excitement, but it just feels a little premature. We don’t know anything about the quarterback yet. Or the head coach. The defensive coordinator could be bad. They didn’t beat a single good team last year, they’ve had bad luck with injuries (both ways) and they don’t really want their offensive identity to be what it probably should be.
Which Eagles player would you most like to bartend? – BGN
A few weeks before training camp, Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata and Travis Kelce hopped behind the bar to serve as guest bartenders at Ocean Drive and raise money for the organization’s Eagles Autism Foundation.
NFL 2022 MVP Odds: Josh Allen is the favorite, but who can beat him? – The athlete
Jalen Hurts and Derek Carr are interesting because if the Eagles and Raiders win and make the playoffs, the quarterbacks get the credit. (The same applies vice versa). Hurts and Carr each saw their teams add stud receivers with AJ Brown and Adams, and the Eagles have the much easier schedule, so Hurts’ pick in this group is 25-to-1.
Sanders confident his injury woes will clear up – NBCSP
What does Sanders need to do to take the next step in his career? “Be consistent, be more consistent,” Sanders said. “I’ll be honest, opportunities. I’m just saying it like this. I need to be more consistent, but I need opportunities.”
1981 DVOA: 49ers finally win it all, but the Eagles rule DVOA – Football Outsiders
Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers won their first Super Bowl title in 1981, 13-3. Our DVOA scores are unimpressed. The 49ers finished the 1981 season in 12th place overall on the DVOA, one of the lowest-ever rankings for a Super Bowl champion. Instead, the DVOA regular-season title belongs to the NFC’s defending champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. But the Eagles were one of the least impressive No. 1 teams in DVOA history, missing out on a strong start to the season with a four-game losing streak and a wildcard loss to rival New York Giants.
The Cowboys roster was rated mid-table, not even the best in the NFC East – Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys have made some controversial moves this offseason that have caused differing opinions among pundits and fans alike. The mood at Cowboys Nation ranged from wait and see to what the hell are they doing. In the offseason, however, most predictions are for the Cowboys to win the NFC East again. Though the Philadelphia Eagles certainly have their contingent of Eastern Crown believers. If you go by the new ESPN/PFF rankings, you might want to bet on the Eagles. In their annual ranking of every NFL team’s roster, the Cowboys land squarely in the middle, far behind the Eagles’ roster. PFF used a variety of grades to determine an overall roster ranking strength, including college grades for the rookies.
Better or worse? The fringe of giants should be improved – Big Blue View
The Giants are in a much better position in 2022, with Thibodeaux, Ward and possibly even Fox on the list. I’m not worried about Thibodeaux’s personality; I look forward to witnessing and reporting on his career; However, I hope the injury heals and he’s ready to dress and impress in training camp. Ojulari and Roche, a year under their belt, should only help them become great. Ojulari amassed 42 prints last season, one behind Dexter Lawrence and five behind Leonard Williams.
