The Day After – at DET
Posted: September 12th, 2022 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 16 Comments »The season opener is always a bit of a weird game. Players are still getting into regular season shape so that leads to some missed tackles, dropped passes and things like that. Coaches are unveiling new schemes and/or new plays. The defense has to react to what they’re seeing rather than knowing it from film study. There is also the emotional angle. Some teams are really fired up. Others are still sleepwalking as if this is still the preseason. The point of all this is not too make too much of what happened, good or bad.
The key is to win. You can fix mistakes over time. Making up for a blown opportunity is more difficult. Luckily, the Eagles won. And even that needs some context.
For #Eagles fans not happy with how convincing yesterday was, note that Week 1 is weird: 2021 playoff teams playing against non-playoff teams went 1-5 across the league. The Eagles were the only such team to win. #FlyEaglesFly

Week 1 is crazy.
Let’s take a look at some big takeaways.
JALEN HURTS
I thought Jalen had a good game. Not great, but good. He ran for 90 yards and a TD. He threw for 243 yards. Hurts didn’t turn the ball over and ran away from multiple sacks. He moved the chains on third down. His QB sneak late in the game helped the Eagles to seal the win.
There were some issues. My biggest complaint came late in the first half. The Eagles were out of timeouts and there were 14 seconds on the clock. I instructed Jalen through the TV to make sure that he threw into the end zone. If you complete the pass inbounds, there probably won’t be enough time to spike the ball and stop the clock.
Jalen didn’t listen to my coaching. He threw the ball to Kenny Gainwell, inbounds. Luckily the pass was off target and incomplete. That could have cost the Eagles three points and significantly changed the game. He’s got to be smarter in future situations. There is nothing wrong with settling for the FG in that situation. You can’t risk running out of time.
I didn’t like the Eagles passing game in the red zone. They went 4 for 5 in the red zone due to the run game, but the passing plays didn’t look good. I’m not sure if the coaches didn’t call good plays, Jalen didn’t do a good job or Detroit’s defense overwhelmed them with good blitzes. Probably some combination of those things.
The Eagles must be able to throw the ball effectively in the red zone. That’s something to watch in the next few weeks.
CONTEXT
One game is one game. Last year the Eagles defense looked great in the opener. They held the Falcons to 6 points and 260 yards. Hassan Ridgeway had a sack and 3 QB hits. Derek Barnett had a couple of TFLs. There was a lot of reason for excitement. Just a couple of weeks later Dallas scored 41 points and then the Chiefs scored 42. The promise of the opener was long gone.
The Eagles defense did not play well on Sunday. They gave up 386 yards and 35 points to Jared Goff and the Lions. Detroit was 4 for 4 in the red zone. Just one stop down there would have made a huge difference. Not an ideal start. Plenty of people are ready to fire Jonathan Gannon into the sun. He’s not my favorite Eagles defensive coordinator to be sure, but I’m trying to give him a chance.
To be fair, we really need to see a month of games to have a good feel for things. That gives the coach and players time to get into the rhythm of the season and figure out what works and what doesn’t.
This is a crucial year for Gannon. So far, not good. He was more aggressive, but his use of personnel was flat out weird. I’ll have more on this after fully re-watching the game. Jordan Davis only playing 22 snaps while Marlon Tuipulotu got 29 snaps is…an odd choice.
Gannon better figure things out quickly. The Vikings piled up 395 yards in their opener. They’ll be a big challenge for the Eagles.
GRIT
Am I the only one who is sick of hearing this word? Dan Campbell had his guys fired up and they did play hard. I thought they played with more of an edge than the Eagles. This game meant more to them.
And they lost.
The Eagles were the better team. The scoreboard could have read
Talent 38
Grit 35
As an Eagles fan, I’ve been on the other side of this plenty of times over the years. Remember the 2007 game against the undefeated Patriots? AJ Feeley vs Tom Brady. The Eagles showed a ton of heart. And lost 31-28. New England was just better.
Grit is good. Talent is better. The Eagles have good talent this year. There are issues to fix, but having talent means there should be solutions for those problems.
If you want a better memory of Talent vs Grit…go back to Week 2 of 1997. The defending Super Bowl champion Packers came to The Vet to take on the Eagles. Could Ty Detmer and Mike Mamula beat Brett Favre and Reggie White?
That was a wild game.
RUST
Early season sloppiness hurt both teams. Penalties were an issue for both (PHI 10-61, DET 7-67). This was an issue for the Eagles last September. They eventually cleaned things up, but it hurt them in the opening month. Nick Sirianni will really focus on the pre-snap penalties and getting that fixed.
Missed tackles and dropped passes also hurt both teams. Backup TE Noah Togiai dropped a short pass that ended up killing a drive. When the ball hits you in the hands on a short throw, you have to make that catch.
Big Play Slay dropped an INT. It wasn’t going to be easy, but the ball came right to him. Need to make those plays. The Lions ended up scoring on that drive.
The play clock was an issue a few times on Sunday. The coaches might have been slow in getting calls in. Jalen might have been making too many adjustments at the line. The Lions did show a lot of heavy blitz looks and that does force the offense to adjust. A few Eagles said crowd noise was an issue. No matter what the cause, the Eagles need to get this cleaned up.
PLAYMAKERS
One of the things I stressed in the offseason was the need for the Eagles to get playmakers. They did just that and you could see the value in the moves yesterday.
AJ Brown was a homerun move. He comes in as a proven receiver who can get open consistently and can make things happen. Brown showed his value right away, going 10-155 in the opener. He made things look easy. And this wasn’t luck. Detroit didn’t have CBs falling down or blowing coverages. Brown ran great routes and got open based on skill.
Kyzir White is a playmaking LB. We saw that on Sunday. He had 5 tackles and a TFL. He broke up a pass that was then picked off and returned for a TD. You need playmakers in the middle of the field.
James Bradberry was the DB who picked off the pass and returned it for the score. He has terrific ball skills. He’s the corner who can have the ball come his way unexpectedly and still make the catch, as he showed yesterday. Bradberry has already matched Steve Nelson’s INT total from his 16 starts last year.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson had 5 solo tackles and broke up a pass. He’s replacing Anthony Harris, who broke up 3 passes in 14 starts last year.
You love to get immediate return on your moves.
INJURIES
https://twitter.com/JimmyKempski/status/1569400310975664130
You really hate to see this. Barnett hasn’t lit things up since being drafted back in 2017, but he did make some key plays in the Super Bowl run. I hope his rehab goes smoothly. The one bright spot is that he should be healthy by next summer.
Tarron Jackson will get some of his reps. Gannon could also change up some things. He could mix in Milton Williams at DE. He could use Kyron Johnson in some situations. We’ll see what happens.
When the Eagles put Barnett on IR, they’ll have two roster spots open. I’m curious to see what they do.

Dallas had a rough Sunday night. They lost to the Bucs, 19-3, and the game wasn’t that close.
Eagles defense outscored Cowboys offense today

Dak Prescott was 14-29-134 and had a bad INT. Yikes.
Things got worse.
Dak Prescott is expected to have surgery Monday on a right thumb injury and miss 6-8 weeks, according to multiple sources. He will meet with the team’s hand specialist on Monday, but sources said he will have a pin and plate inserted to stabilize the joint.
— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) September 12, 2022
S Jayron Kearse has a sprained MCL and G Connor McGovern has a high-ankle sprain. Both players projected to miss 2-4 weeks a person with knowledge of the injuries told @dmn_cowboys
— Calvin Watkins (@calvinwatkins) September 12, 2022
Dallas lost a lot of talent in the offseason and was going to really need Dak Prescott to have a big year, as the young players around him developed. So much for that plan. Cooper Rush will take over at QB for the next six weeks or so. Every game could be tough in this stretch.
It sure would be a shame if their lack of depth and good offseason moves came back to hurt them.

[…] The Day After – at DET – Iggles BlitzJalen played a great game, according to me. Good, but not great. He ran 90 yards and ran for a touchdown. He threw for 243 yard. Hurts didn’t turn the ball over and ran away from multiple sacks. On third down, he moved his chains. Eagles’ QB sneak at the end of the game was crucial in sealing the victory. There were some issues. Late in the first period, my biggest complaint was. There were only 14 seconds left on the clock and the Eagles had run out of timeouts. Jalen was directed by me via the TV to throw into the end zone. If you complete the pass inbounds, there probably won’t be enough time to spike the ball and stop the clock. Jalen didn’t listen to my coaching. He inbounds threw it to Kenny Gainwell. Unfortunately, the pass was not accurate and incomplete.

[…] Diena po – DET – Iggles BlitzManiau, kad Jalenas sužaidė gerą žaidimą. Ne puikus, bet geras. Jis nuskubėjo 90 jardų ir TD. Jis numetė 243 jardus. Hurts neapvertė kamuolio ir pabėgo nuo kelių maišų. Jis perkėlė grandines trečiąja žemyn. Jo QB patarimas žaidimo pabaigoje padėjo „Eagles“ iškovoti pergalę. Buvo tam tikrų problemų. Didžiausias mano nusiskundimas buvo pirmojo kėlinio pabaigoje. „Eagles“ laikas baigėsi likus 14 sekundžių. Per televizorių daviau ženklą Jalenui, kad įsitikintų, jog jis metė į galutinę zoną. Jei atliksite perdavimą užribyje, greičiausiai neužteks laiko pataikyti į kamuolį ir sustabdyti laikrodį. Jalenas neklausė mano mokymų. Jis metė kamuolį Kenny Gainwellui, esančiam užribyje. Laimei, perdavimas buvo platus ir nepilnas. Tai galėjo kainuoti „Eagles“ tris taškus ir gerokai pakeisti žaidimą. Ateities situacijose turite būti protingesni. Nėra nieko blogo, jei tokioje situacijoje atsiskaitoma su FG. Jūs negalite rizikuoti, kad pritrūks laiko. Man nepatiko „Eagles“ perdavimų žaidimas raudonojoje zonoje. Jie žaidė 4 prieš 5 raudonojoje zonoje, tačiau perdavimai neatrodė gerai. Nesu tikras, ar treneriai nevadino gerų žaidimų, Jalenas neatliko gero darbo, ar Detroito gynyba juos pribloškė gerais krūviais. Tikriausiai kažkoks tų dalykų derinys. Ereliai turi sugebėti efektyviai mesti kamuolį raudonoje zonoje. Tai yra ką pamatyti artimiausiomis savaitėmis. […]

[…] Le jour d’après – au DET – Iggles BlitzJe pensais que Jalen avait fait un bon match. Pas génial, mais bon. Il a couru pour 90 yards et un TD. Il a lancé pour 243 verges. Hurts n’a pas retourné le ballon et s’est enfui de plusieurs sacs. J’ai déplacé les chaînes du troisième vers le bas. Son QB furtif en fin de match a aidé les Eagles à sceller la victoire. Il y avait quelques problèmes. Ma plus grande plainte est venue en fin de première mi-temps. Les Eagles n’avaient plus de temps mort et il restait 14 secondes au compteur. J’ai demandé à Jalen par le biais de la télévision de s’assurer qu’il jetait dans la zone des buts. Si vous terminez la passe dans les limites, il n’y aura probablement pas assez de temps pour envoyer le ballon et arrêter le chronomètre. Jalen n’a pas écouté mon coaching. Il a lancé le ballon à Kenny Gainwell, dans les limites. Heureusement, la passe n’était pas cadrée et incomplète. Cela aurait pu coûter trois points aux Eagles et changer considérablement la donne. Il doit être plus intelligent dans les situations futures. Il n’y a rien de mal à régler le FG dans cette situation. Vous ne pouvez pas risquer de manquer de temps. Je n’ai pas aimé le jeu de passes des Eagles dans la zone rouge. Ils sont allés 4 en 5 dans la zone rouge en raison du jeu de course, mais les jeux de passes n’étaient pas bons. Je ne sais pas si les entraîneurs n’ont pas appelé de bons jeux, Jalen n’a pas fait du bon travail ou la défense de Detroit les a submergés avec de bons blitz. Probablement une combinaison de ces choses. Les Aigles doivent être capables de lancer le ballon efficacement dans la zone rouge. C’est quelque chose à surveiller dans les prochaines semaines. […]

[…] Day After – bij SEA – Iggles BlitzIk dacht dat Jalen een goed spel had. Niet geweldig, maar goed. Hij rende 90 yards en een TD. Hij gooide 243 yards. Hurts draaide de bal niet om en liep weg van meerdere zakken. Hij schoof de kettingen op de derde plaats naar beneden.

Als u de pasinvoer voltooit, is er waarschijnlijk niet genoeg tijd om de bal te raken en de klok te stoppen. Jalen luisterde niet naar mijn training. Hij gooide de bal naar Kenny Gainwell, inkomend. Gelukkig was de pass naast het doel en onvolledig. Dat had de Eagles drie punten kunnen kosten en het spel aanzienlijk kunnen veranderen. Hij moet slimmer zijn in toekomstige situaties. Er is niets mis mee om in die situatie voor FG te kiezen. Je kunt niet het risico lopen dat je tijd tekort komt. Ik hield niet van het passingspel van de Eagles in de rode zone. Ze sloegen 4-uit-5 in de rode zone vanwege de running game, maar de passes zagen er niet goed uit. Ik weet niet zeker of de coaches geen goede plays afriepen, Jalen het niet goed deed, of de verdediging van Detroit versloeg ze met goede schoten. Misschien een combinatie van deze dingen. De Eagles moeten de bal effectief in de rode zone kunnen gooien. Dit is iets om de komende weken in de gaten te houden. […]

That may have price the Eagles 3 issues and considerably modified the sport. He’s were given to be smarter in long term scenarios. There is not anything mistaken with settling for the FG in that scenario. You can’t possibility working out of time. I didn’t just like the Eagles passing recreation within the pink zone. They went 4 for five within the pink zone because of the run recreation, however the passing performs didn’t glance just right. I’m no longer certain if the coaches didn’t name just right performs, Jalen didn’t do a just right task or Detroit’s protection crushed them with just right blitzes. Probably some aggregate of the ones issues. The Eagles will have to be capable of throw the ball successfully within the pink zone. That’s one thing to look at in the following couple of weeks. […]
[…] The Day After – at DET – Iggles BlitzI thought Jalen had a good game. Not great, but good. He ran for 90 yards and a TD. He threw for 243 yards. Hurts didn’t turn the ball over and ran away from multiple sacks. He moved the chains on third down. His QB sneak late in the game helped the Eagles to seal the win. There were some issues. My biggest complaint came late in the first half. The Eagles were out of timeouts and there were 14 seconds on the clock. I instructed Jalen through the TV to make sure that he threw into the end zone. If you complete the pass inbounds, there probably won’t be enough time to spike the ball and stop the clock. Jalen didn’t listen to my coaching. He threw the ball to Kenny Gainwell, inbounds. Luckily the pass was off target and incomplete. That could have cost the Eagles three points and significantly changed the game. He’s got to be smarter in future situations. There is nothing wrong with settling for the FG in that situation. You can’t risk running out of time. I didn’t like the Eagles passing game in the red zone. They went 4 for 5 in the red zone due to the run game, but the passing plays didn’t look good. I’m not sure if the coaches didn’t call good plays, Jalen didn’t do a good job or Detroit’s defense overwhelmed them with good blitzes. Probably some combination of those things. The Eagles must be able to throw the ball effectively in the red zone. That’s something to watch in the next few weeks. […]
