With the signing of Saquon Barkley as a free agent this offseason, the Eagles’ offensive identification has modified. During the last two seasons, it was a mixture of passing, QB runs, and operating the ball for Philadelphia. Now, the staff is persistently giving Barkley 20+ carries a recreation and they’re passing the ball far much less. That’s led to frustration from Professional Bowl WR AJ Brown. He has 9 catches for 109 yards in his final two video games. Browns hasn’t had greater than six catches in a recreation this season.

Jalen Damage’s (200.2) passing yards per recreation is on tempo for the bottom of his profession as a full-time starter within the NFL. The staff doesn’t want Hurts to cross as a lot after they have a dominant run recreation. That’s led to Hurts having beneath 200 passing yards in three straight video games. Whereas AJ Brown known as out the Eagles’ passing recreation after their Week 14 win, it’s taking place on the excellent time. Philadelphia’s momentum couldn’t be increased with their ninth straight victory. Fixing the passing recreation is one thing the Eagles can give attention to of their closing 4 video games in 2024. It ought to occur now and never proper earlier than the playoffs start. The Eagles are at house in Week 15 to face the Steelers.
