Good– Josh Sweat, might be the best player in camp, has totally dominated the O line.
Bad– Injuries. Hightower was having a rough camp and the injury might have sealed him missing the final 53
Surprising– JJaw has looked faster and he is making all of his plays thus far. Camp tease?
Good– Derek Barnett, If not for Josh Sweat dominating, he would be getting more pub. He has been very explosive so far.
Good again– Zech McPhearson, has been making plays and demonstrating tight cover skills with his great athleticism. The Eagles could have found a real player in the 4th round. He has also become really efficient at giving his teammates delicious water ice treats.
Bad– The offense in general. At this point it is hard to determine if the offense is really not clicking much or if the defense is really this good. The defense has dominated almost every practice. Offenses usually need more time, but they look to need a LOT more time to catch up with the D. They did look a lot better during Sundays open practice.
Surprising– Coaching, Sirianni has had a very hands on approach, also hasn’t been scared to get in a players face. You can see Nick coaching up players at the end of every drill and rep. He is all over the place. Defensive Coordinator, Jonathan Gannon. He has the defense flying.
Good and Bad- Reagor. Has made the best catch in camp. Also has missed time due to a failed conditioning test. He’s been dealing with the difficulty of losing a childhood friend. He gets a pass for the slow start and seems to be responding to Sirianni and his tough coaching style.
Surprising– Tyree Jackson is learning offense quickly, and making almost every play he has been asked to make. (not surprising his size and the mismatches it creates) He could make the roster. Tyree made a TD catch at the Linc Sunday night, then proceeded to slam the ball over the cross bar that caused mini tremors around the Delaware Valley.
Surprising again– Zach Ertz, the fact he is on the roster is somewhat a surprise. He has gone about his business as a professional (like he always does) despite being very unhappy with the organization.
Good– Quez Watkins, started camp a little late, and has caught everything and showed a lot of juice with his big play ability. Had the catch of the night Sunday at the Linc, he does not disappoint on the big stage.
Good again– Jordan Mailata, has mauled BG and others on his way to easily winning the starting LT. Also removed bodyguard Boston Scott from his duties.
Bad– Andre Dillard, time is running out for him to win a job. Jordan is clearly winning the competition.
Bad again– Jake Elliot. Has a few misses inside 40 yards and hasn’t attempted too may kicks. He did look better during his 6 attempts Sunday night.
Surprising– That Jake didn’t have any competition in camp. His contract makes it very hard to move on from him this year, but he could have benefited from being pushed.
Misc– Jalen Hurts has been up and down with the offense. He is looking great on most deep balls and missing some medium range throws. He’s made a couple bad decisions leading to interceptions as well. Steve Nelson has also been inconsistent to the start of camp. He has started to show more the past couple practices as he becomes more acclimated with his new team and surroundings. He also got burned Sunday night, twice. Fulgham over top and Reagor on a slick move and route to the end zone.
