With the team set to prepare for a trip to Miami to face the Dolphins, here’s the Eagles snap count for the game vs. the Seahawks.

***

Quarterback:

Carson Wentz 76 snaps

Wentz suffered a hand injury in the game but didn’t miss any actual offensive snaps. He struggled mightily and he’ll have the hand evaluated further on Monday.

Offensive Line:

Jason Peters 76 snaps, Isaac Seumalo 76 snaps, Jason Kelce 76 snaps, Halapoulivaati Vaitai 65 snaps, Matt Pryor 42 snaps, Andre Dillard 36 snaps, Brandon Brooks 12 snaps.

Dillard replaced Lane Johnson at right tackle and he struggled until being benched for Vaitai, with Matt Pryor moving to right guard after Brandon Brooks suffered an anxiety attack.

Running Back:

Miles Sanders 64 snaps, Jay Ajayi 9 snaps, Boston Scott 3 snaps

Ajayi carried the ball six times, while Miles Sanders only had 12 carries on 64 snaps. The Seahawks reportedly knew what the Eagles were running based on the formation and personnel in the game.

Wide Receiver:

Jordan Matthews 73 snaps, JJ Arcega-Whiteside 54 snaps, Greg Ward 37 snaps, Mack Hollins 4 snaps,

Ward now has just as many catches as Arcega-Whiteside and he accomplished it in one half of football. Even with Ward playing well, Eagles receivers struggled to gain separation. Matthews has 4 catches on 12 targets for 33 yards in two games.

Tight End:

Zach Ertz 66 snaps, Dallas Goedert 66 snaps

Ertz had his best individual game of the season, while Goedert has seemed to regress somewhat as a player in his second year.

Defensive Line:

Derek Barnett 53 snaps, Brandon Graham 51 snaps, Fletcher Cox 49 snaps, Timmy Jernigan 33 snaps, Anthony Rush 25 snaps, Vinny Curry 23 snaps, Josh Sweat 20 snaps, Albert Huggins 15 snaps, Genard Avery 2 snaps.

Cox and Graham need more help, while the Eagles gave up a fourth-round pick for Avery, yet barely use him.

Linebacker:

Nigel Bradham 65 snaps, Nate Gerry 35 snaps, Kamu Grugier-Hill 22 snaps, T.J. Edwards 2 snaps.

Bradham played well in his return to the lineup, while Grugier-Hill played less after a stud performance against New England.

Defensive Back:

Malcolm Jenkins 65 snaps, Rodney McLeod 64 snaps, Jalen Mills 62 snaps, Ronald Darby 61 snaps, Avonte Maddox 45 snaps, Marcus Epps 17 snaps, Rasul Douglas 6 snaps

Eagles RG Brandon Brooks confirms that his exit vs. Seahawks was due to anxiety

Brandon Brooks confirms that his exit vs. Seahawks was due to anxiety issues

Brandon Brooks is the best guard in pro football, but like so many of us, he’s dealing with his own issues and on Sunday they were front and center. Brooks left Sunday’s loss to Seattle in the first half with what the team called an illness.

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer initially reported that a recurrence of his anxiety was the reason for his departure and head coach Doug Pederson confirmed it during a Monday appearance on WIP.

“Yeah, it’s connected,” Pederson said on WIP, “I’ll just say this, I’m not going to get into a lot of detail with that. Because listen, this is a real-life issue. This is not a football issue with Brandon. This is a real-life issue that he has come out and publicly acknowledged and kind of sharing his story a few years back. It’s something that he’s dealing with each and every day of his life. You never really know what triggers it. We’re here to support him, we love him. It is unfortunate that it happened, but it’s something that he deals with every single day. We’re just going to continue to support him.”

Brooks has now confirmed it as well with this heartfelt post on social media.

Brooks has been open about his issues for years, and he missed two games in 2016 because of his condition. He’s become the best guard in football and now the Eagles will wait to see if he’s healthy enough for this week’s game against the Dolphins.
