Eagles snap count vs. Washington: Breakdown, analysis as Eagles implode on the road

The Philadelphia Eagles opened the 2020 NFL season on the road Sunday and for one quarter and a half, they looked like Super Bowl contenders. The Birds imploded on the road, giving up 27 unanswered points to Washington in a heartbreaking opening season loss.

With the Eagles playing without 7 starters on both sides of the ball, there were plenty of snaps to go around.

With the Eagles set to host the Rams next Sunday, here’s the snap count for the loss at Washington.

***

***

QB:  Carson Wentz 68 offensive snaps

Wentz had a disastrous second half after starting the game 14-for-18 for 182 yards passing, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and lights out 145.8 QB rating.

Offensive Line:

Nate Herbig, Isaac Seumalo, Jason Peters, Jason Kelce 68 snaps, Jack Driscoll 50 snaps, Jordan Mailata 18 snaps, Matt Pryor 4 snaps

The Eagles makeshift offensive line struggled to hold up under the pressure caused by the Washington front. Jason Peters avoided injury and played every offensive snap. Jack Driscoll missed 18 snaps with an injury for a group that was playing without Lane Johnson at right tackle and it showed.

Running backs:

Boston Scott 38 snaps, Corey Clement 25 snaps, Jason Huntley 1 snap

The Eagles running game was nonexistent without Miles Sanders and although Boston Scott was the starter, the production from the position never materialized on Sunday. The Eagles had 57 total yards rushing on 17 carries.

Wide Receiver:

Jalen Reagor 40 snaps, DeSean Jackson 37 snaps, Greg Ward 30 snaps, JJ Arcega-Whiteside 28 snaps, John Hightower 27 snaps

The Eagles’ wideouts were led by a rookie as DeSean Jackson was in and out of the ball game.

Defensive line:

Fletcher Cox 57 snaps, Malik Jackson 55 snaps, Josh Sweat 49 snaps, Brandon Graham 38 snaps, Hassan Ridgeway 30 snaps, Vinny Curry 22 snaps, T.Y. McGill 16 snaps

The Eagles defensive front played well at times but didn’t register enough hits or pressure on Dwayne Haskins. Brandon Graham left the ballgame with a head injury.

Linebacker:

Nate Gerry 69 snaps, Duke Riley 57 snaps, T.J. Edwards 20 snaps, Genard Avery 20 Snaps, Alex Singleton 10, Shaun Bradley 4 snaps

Nate Gerry and Duke Riley played most of the game in pass defense while Shaun Bradley got in on four plays.

Cornerback:

Darius Slay 64, Avonte Maddox 61 snaps, Nickell Robey-Coleman 41 snaps, Cre’Von LeBlanc 10 snaps

Safety:

Jalen Mills 60, Rodney McLeod 70 snaps, K’Von Wallace 6 snaps, Marcus Epps 4 snaps

Vinny Curry had a heartfelt reason for spurning other offers to re-sign with the Eagles

[jwplayer AM0HbiGz]

The move had been expected for days, but the Philadelphia Eagles made the move official on Monday, announcing they have re-signed Vinny Curry to a one-year contract.

Curry had more lucrative offers but chose to re-sign with the Eagles after taking some time away from football due to the passing of his brother, Gerald Glisson, who died from the coronavirus.

Last season as a rotational pass rusher for the Eagles, Curry produced five sacks in 16 games and graded out at 77.9 overall and almost 80(79.8) as a pass rusher.

A New Jersey native, Curry will now focus on his family and helping the Eagles win another Super Bowl.

The move had been expected for days, but the Philadelphia Eagles made the move official on Monday, announcing that Vinny Curry was returning for one more season.

Curry played in all 16 games last year for the Eagles, finishing the season with five sacks, a career-high.

A solid, yet quiet contributor, Curry amassed the same amount of pressures/QB hits as Fletcher Cox did in 2019, and two more than Brandon Graham.

Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest 2020 training camp position battles

Philadelphia Eagles training camp battles and predictions

[jwplayer WwHqH2Su]

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2020 NFL season locked and loaded with the bulk of their 53 man roster set.

Entrenched in such a talented roster are several high profile training camp battles at integral positions, with the ramifications trickling down the lineup.

With the acclimation period ramping up and the Eagles just days away from putting on the pads, we breakdown the top position battles:

***

Avonte Maddox

1. Cornerback opposite Darius Slay

Depending on whom you ask, the job is either Avonte Maddox’s to lose or Sidney Jones’s position for the taking. Slay is entrenched as the Eagles franchise cornerback. The player opposite of him has yet to be determined, but it’ll likely come down to Maddox, Jones, or Rasul Douglas.

Nickell Robey-Coleman and Cre’Von LeBlanc will hold down the slot, and the Eagles could choose to utilize a rotation similar to last season.

Report: Browns made higher offer to DE Vinny Curry but he’s staying with the Eagles

The Browns appear to still be interested in bolstering the depth at DE

Vinny Curry has agreed a one-year deal to remain with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport that was quickly confirmed by several Philadelphia-area outlets. The veteran agreed to terms on a new contract that will pay him up to $2 million.

Curry will stick with the Eagles despite a more lucrative offer on the table from the Cleveland Browns, according to another report out of Philadelphia from Geoff Mosher. It seems the Browns are still interested in upgrading the depth at the defensive end spot.

There was chatter about the Browns chasing another pass rusher, and Curry remained one of the top available ones on the free agent market. Now he’ll stay in Philadelphia regardless of any Browns interest.

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed popular defensive end, Vinny Curry, on Friday, giving him a one-year, $2 million deal with $1.3 million guaranteed.

The Eagles just added versatility to one of the NFL’s toughest defensive lines and with Curry back in the fold, here are four takeaways from the move.

1. Curry adds efficiency for low value

Curry re-signed for $2 million, but when he played and received snaps last season he was just as good as his running mates. As a rotational pass rusher, Curry produced five sacks in 16 games and graded out at 77.9 overall and almost 80(79.8) as a pass rusher.

Eagles updated salary cap space after signing Vinny Curry to a 1-year, $2 million deal

Vinny Curry signs a 1-year, $2 million deal with the Eagles

[jwplayer WwHqH2Su]

The Philadelphia Eagles were sitting in a decent place with their salary cap space and after a value signing on Friday, things are still looking efficient.

The Eagles re-signed Vinny Curry on Friday and Ian Rapoport is reporting that it’s a one-year $2 million deal.

The Eagles entered Friday top-10 in the league in available salary-cap space and that shouldn’t change even after Curry’s signing per Over The Cap.

Curry reportedly turned down the Browns and another AFC team to return to the Philadelphia Eagles and he’ll now settle in as the third defensive end in the rotation.
