The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason win over the Baltimore Ravens are in. Let’s have a look.
OFFENSE
Darian Kinnard’s taking part in time positive stands out, huh? Uncommon for a sole participant to play a whole preseason sport like that. In all probability not one of the best factor for his roster possibilities that he wasn’t pulled earlier. However he’s placing loads of tape on the market to judge.
Brett Toth performed the identical quantity as Trevor Keegan and Fred Johnson, who’re each thought of in robust place to make the roster. Maybe he’s actually on as properly?
It will be good to see the Eagles deal with the quarterback snaps otherwise over the subsequent two preseason video games. Let’s see what Tanner McKee can do with the second-team offense. In the event that they refuse to outright begin McKee, possibly at the very least rotate drives with him and Pickett?
Johnny Wilson noticed three targets. He caught one in every of them for seven yards and a primary down.
Matt Hennessy was taking part in late within the sport. That doesn’t appear to be one of the best factor for his roster possibilities? He was paired with the likes of Nick Gates and Max Scharping, who’re thought of on the surface trying in.
Apparently John Ross has two clones however solely the primary and third variations of him performed.
Britain Covey caught all 4 of his targets for 25 yards. That about sums up his sport as a possession receiver: environment friendly however not flashy.
Joseph Ngata didn’t catch any of his three targets. Hasn’t been summer time for him.
Nick Sirianni mentioned Tyler Steen acquired a whole lot of taking part in time partially as a result of he missed follow reps along with his ankle damage. But it surely seems Mekhi Becton has firmly overtaken him at proper guard.
Albert Okwuegbunam dropped a go and he barely performs particular groups, which you want a third-string tight finish to do. Not making this roster.
Will Shipley made probably the most of his 19 snaps with 8 complete touches for 30 yards and a landing.
Tyrion Davis-Value, Lew Nichols, and Kendall Milton all regarded strong whereas splitting taking part in time within the backfield.
Getting Becton some precise sport snaps at proper guard, the place he hasn’t performed earlier than, was in all probability a good suggestion.
DEFENSE
Tristin McCollum performed so much and was noticeable in a great way.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. acquired loads of taking part in time each on protection and particular groups. He led the Birds in tackles with six complete, 4 solo.
Kelee Ringo remained within the sport after Isaiah Rodgers left. Ringo flashed greater than Rodgers did however the utilization factors in favor of the veteran.
James Bradberry noticed a good quantity of motion at security. However the ball by no means actually got here his method; he didn’t even log a stat. He additionally solely performed one snap on particular groups. Backup safeties sometimes want to assist out on particular groups.
Jalyx Hunt regarded energetic and athletic on the market. He’s actually a participant who stands to learn from taking part in within the preseason and racking up extra expertise.
It didn’t take lengthy for Quinyon Mitchell to flash with a near-pick.
Nolan Smith was nonetheless taking part in late into the sport. Perhaps not one of the best signal.
Nakobe Dean didn’t rotate with the first-team protection in any respect. It was Zack Baun and Devin White till they had been accomplished for the night time.
Apparently Tarron Jackson and Terrell Lewis have joined John Ross within the clone room.
UDFA defensive deal with Gabe Corridor barely performed.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Zech McPhearson couldn’t get a defensive snap. Ditto for Shaquille Quarterman.
UDFA offensive deal with Anim Dankwah clearly wasn’t trusted to play on offense. I don’t assume the Eagles are hiding him from trying nice; he’s struggled in follow.
DID NOT PLAY
QB Jalen Hurts, CB Darius Slay, WR DeVonta Smith, S C.J. Gardner-Johnson, WR A.J. Brown, QB Will Grier, OLB Josh Sweat, S Sydney Brown, RB Saquon Barkley, DB Cooper DeJean, CB Shon Stephens, LB Oren Burks, CB Mekhi Garner, LB Brandon Smith, TE Armani Rogers, C Cam Jurgens, DE Brandon Graham, OT Lane Johnson, OT Laekin Vakalahi, OT Jordan Mailata, OG Landon Dickerson, WR Parris Campbell, TE Dallas Goedert
The Eagles rested most of their offensive starters.
The Eagles didn’t relaxation most of their defensive starters. The exceptions had been Slay, Sweat, and Graham (not a real starter however clearly a key position participant).
The next gamers didn’t play because of damage: CJGJ, Sydney Brown, DeJean, Burks, Garner, Brandon Smith, and Campbell.
Backside of the roster guys who didn’t handle to get snaps: Grier, Stephens, and Vakalahi.
Newly acquired tight finish Armani Rogers didn’t play however that’s not a shock since he was solely claimed by the Eagles on Wednesday. He’s but to follow with the staff.
