NFL draft rumors: NFC East teams are scared of Bijan Robinson landing with the Eagles

One NFL Network analyst says NFC East teams are scared of Texas All-American RB Bijan Robinson landing with the Philadelphia Eagles and the juggernaut offense

Howie Roseman is all about draft night trades, and could the Philadelphia’s purposely trade down a slot or two to justify selecting Bijan Robinson?

The Eagles had a potent offense in 2022, landing behind the Chiefs in total yards (6,614) while being among the top five in points scored, touchdowns, and first downs.

Even after losing Isaac Seumalo (Steelers) and Andre Dillard (Titans) in free agency, Philadelphia still has an All-Pro quarterback, an All-Pro wide receiver, two All-Pros on the offensive line, and star power at every position.

According to James Palmer of the NFL Network, NFC East teams are scared of Texas All-American running back Bijan Robinson landing with the Eagles.

Robinson had a top-30 visit here in Philadelphia and would transform an already dynamic offense into a juggernaut that could be nearly impossible to stop.

Robinson logged 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground last season while breaking 91 tackles, and he’d bring a Marshall Faulk-style smoothness to the running back position alongside Jalen Hurts.

The Longhorns star is a dynamic three-down running back that would make the Eagles much more explosive, and he’d complement Rashaad Penny thanks to his abilities as a pass catcher.

On a rookie deal, Robinson would allow Brian Johnson’s offense to take shape with a game-changing dual-threat running back to help alleviate pressure off All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Eagles make Jalen Hurts highest-paid player in NFL history: Twitter reacts

The Philadelphia Eagles signed Jalen Hurts to an extension making him the highest paid player in NFL history. Here is how Twitter handled the news.

Just because you don’t win the Super Bowl doesn’t mean you can’t make NFL history.

The Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts have agreed upon a five-year contract extension worth $255 million. The contract makes Hurts the highest paid player in NFL history.

Not bad for a second-rounder who led his team to the Super Bowl after just his second full season as the starter.

Naturally with Hurts, the star quarterback of a winning and recognizable franchise, making headlines, it generated commentary on social media. Eagles fans, NFC East fans, and the rest of the lot had their takes. Here are some of the best.

The Eagles’ offensive line is the best unit in Super Bowl LVII

The Eagles’ offensive line is the best unit we’ll see on the field in Super Bowl LVII. Laurie Fitzpatrick explains how it all works.

This Philadelphia Eagles offensive line might be their best in franchise history; and it’s all thanks to Chip Kelly!

No, really…

Back in 2013, Kelly hired offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, and now he’s the longest-tenured member of the Eagles’ coaching staff. If anyone needs proof that all offensive line success is a direct reflection of cohesiveness from repetition, that’s this Eagles line. Three of the five starters played together back in 2017.

All five starting offensive linemen are ranked within the top ten according to PFF.

Over the last two playoff games, the front five hasn’t allowed a single sack or even a quarterback hit; only allowed nine hurries!

Right tackle Lane Johnson and center Jason Kelce have only given up a combined 22 total pressures on 600+ pass-blocking snaps each.  Both guards Landon Dickerson and Isaac Seumalo have only given up a combined two sacks all season.

Left tackle Jordan Mailata is the technically the worst offensive lineman on the team (blown blocks, per SIS) and yet he’s still the fourth highest graded (88.8) zone run scheme blocker in the league, according to PFF.

This offensive line has protected Jalen Hurts and has given Miles Sanders some of the biggest gaps to run through all season. Let’s dive into why this Eagles offensive line is so difficult to beat!

NFC Championship: How the Eagles can challenge the 49ers’ defense with the run game

The Eagles’ run game against the 49ers’ defense? That’ll be a pivotal matchup in the NFC Championship game. Laurie Fitzpatrick has the tape.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense and the San Francisco 49ers’ defense will be an incredible matchup of physics.

P = F*v (Power equals Force times velocity)

The Eagles’ offense is pass-first, but there are a ton of run-pass options in there. The threat of the run-option is what can freeze a defense, and that half-second hesitation can make or break a play. That frozen moment in time is when the play is decided.

The Eagles’ offense thrives off a defense’s split-second decisions, and the 49ers defense rarely hesitate to give up big plays.

Let’s go to the film and diagnose how the Eagles will use their backfield against the 49ers’ dominant run defense.

Report card: Eagles top Lions, 38-35 in Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Detroit Lions 38-35 in Week 1, and we have the grades for every position.

The Eagles successfully started the 2022 season as winners, coming away with a 38-35 road victory against the Detroit Lions in front of a sold-out crowd at Ford Field.

Philadelphia is now 10-2 in Week 1 games since the 2010 season, making the Monday night showdown against the Vikings in Week 2 even more exciting.

Jalen Hurts totaled almost 350 yards of offense on a day when he was pressured off the edge and unable to develop a rhythm within any pass catchers outside of A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert.

On defense, the Eagles were gashed on the ground and unable to rekindle the 2021 pressure on Jared Goff, failing to sack the Lions quarterback.

With focus turning to the Vikings, here are the grades for Week 1.
