The Philadelphia Eagles are a little over a month away from unveiling a retooled offense against the Washington Football Team and speed will be on display after an impressive draft haul.
The Eagles return Miles Sanders and Boston Scott in the backfield with star quarterback Carson Wentz but added blazers in Jalen Reagor, John Hightower, and Quez Watkins. With a healthy DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery and JJ Arcega-Whiteside added to the combo of Ertz and Goedert, the Eagles have the making of an explosive, quick scoring offense.
The Athletic recently ranked all 32 NFL offenses and the Birds landed just outside the top-10 at No. 12 on the list.
12. Philadelphia Eagles
Last year: 14th
The Doug Pederson/Carson Wentz battery offers a strong foundation, and the Eagles have talented players like Miles Sanders and Zach Ertz to go along with a solid offensive line. But wide receiver remains a question. They decided to take a bunch of swings and are hoping that a couple will connect. If DeSean Jackson can stay healthy for 12 games or so, and first-round pick Jalen Reagor can contribute immediately, this offense has a top-five ceiling. If not, the Eagles are probably looking at a repeat of last year. One goal with Wentz will be to implement more play-action and bootleg schemes. He was the fourth-ranked quarterback on throws from outside the pocket last season. One area where he must improve: ball security. Wentz’s 48 fumbles since entering the league are tops among all quarterbacks.
If Wentz can get his ball-security issues under control and Jason Peters can transition to right guard, the Eagles should be in line for plenty of scoring opportunities.
