Happy AJ Day
Posted: October 30th, 2022 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 12 Comments »The Eagles traded for AJ Brown back in April to give them a proven star at WR. They knew DeVonta Smith had a bright future, but hoped Brown would give them that big, strong guy that you can’t shut down even when you know the ball is coming his way. Brown has been great this year, but was at his best against the Steelers.
Brown went 6-156-3, catching TDs of 39, 27 and 29 yards. He was a stud.

Wow. If you’re old enough, you flashed back to TO. Brown is that level of receiver, a guy who can make tough catches and big plays on a regular basis. The Steelers had no answer for him. He would have posted even bigger numbers if the Eagles hadn’t sat their starters for the final nine minutes. It was that kind of game.
Jalen Hurts was fantastic. He went 19-28-285 with 4 TDs and no turnovers. The other TD was a 34-yarder to Zach Pascal. Hurts took advantage of a weak secondary by throwing the ball downfield. He threw some absolute dimes.
The Eagles offense was so explosive that they scored 35 points and only ran one play in the red zone. I’ve never heard of something like that. The offensive starters were only in the game for 43 snaps. That’s almost one point per play. Again, that’s insane. I can do that on SuperTecmo Bowl, but the Eagles doing it in a real game is beyond impressive.
Wow.
The Eagles defense had 6 sacks and 2 takeaways. They allowed 300 yards, but only 4.3 yards per play. The Steelers had to try to put together long drives. They did a couple of times. The Eagles held them to 1 of 12 on third downs. PIT did go 4 for 4 on fourth downs. Their lone TD came on fourth-and-goal.
There was one bit of bad news.
#Eagles first-round DT Jordan Davis is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain based on the initial exam, source said. Those are generally 4-6 week injuries, but he’ll have an MRI to determine his time frame.

Ugh.
The good news is that Davis should be back this year. The Eagles can live without him for a while, but it would be great to have him back for the final month and then the postseason.
Javon Hargrave had 2 sacks and a FF against his old team. CJ Gardner-Johnson had 7 tackles, an INT and a sack. He has proven to be the kind of playmaking safety you need to be a top flight defense (Wes Hopkins, Brian Dawkins, Malcolm Jenkins). CB James Bradberry was the standout in coverage. Rookie Kenny Pickett wanted no part of Darius Slay so he threw at Bradberry several times. That led to a couple of penalties, but that’s about it.
New DE Robert Quinn did get a QB hit and got some pressure, but didn’t make any plays.
The Eagles led 21-10 at the half. We all wondered if the team would be able to solve the lack of second half scoring. The Eagles went 75 yards in 5 plays to open the third quarter and that grew the lead to 28-10. The game was basically over at that point. The Hargrave strip sack set up the final TD drive. That one was just two plays for 54 yards. Game over.
This wasn’t a perfect performance. There was some sloppy tackling at times. The Eagles allowed PIT to convert on a fake punt and that helped lead to a FG. Hurts took a couple of bad sacks. The Eagles gave up 144 yards on the ground (58 by QB/WRs). The RBs had some good runs on draw plays.
Some people might be critical of the Eagles for not running more than 20 times in a blowout. That was by design. The Eagles saw a chance to exploit the Steelers secondary when they went with one-high safety. When PIT did give two-high looks, the Eagles ran well. Miles Sanders was 9-78-1. The Eagles ran for 111 yards in the game.
If there were any questions about the Eagles being distracted by the bye, the Phillies, Halloween, the return of the McRib, etc., the team answered them definitively. They were locked in from the start. Nick Sirianni talks about dawg mentality. Today the Eagles played like the big dogs. You see some teams play down to the competition. The Eagles knew they were the better team and played accordingly.
They now have a short week with Thursday’s game against the Texans.
The Eagles are 7-0 for the first time since 2004. You may remember TO helping that team to get to the Super Bowl. AJ Brown could help this team to do the same. This feels like a special season.

[…] Happy AJ Day – Iggles BlitzShould you’re sufficiently old, you flashed again to TO. Brown is that degree of receiver, a man who could make robust catches and large performs regularly. The Steelers had no reply for him. He would have posted even larger numbers if the Eagles hadn’t sat their starters for the ultimate 9 minutes. It was that form of sport. Jalen Hurts was implausible. He went 19-28-285 with 4 TDs and no turnovers. The opposite TD was a 34-yarder to Zach Pascal. Hurts took benefit of a weak secondary by throwing the ball downfield. He threw some absolute dimes. The Eagles offense was so explosive that they scored 35 factors and solely ran one play within the pink zone. I’ve by no means heard of one thing like that. The offensive starters have been solely within the sport for 43 snaps. That’s nearly one level per play. Once more, that’s insane. I can try this on SuperTecmo Bowl, however the Eagles doing it in an actual sport is past spectacular. Wow. […]
[…] Happy AJ Day – Eagles BlitzIf you are old enough, refer to TO. Brown is that level of receiver, a guy who can do tough catches and big play on a regular basis. The Steelers had no answer for him. He would have posted bigger numbers if the Eagles hadn’t sat down initially in the last nine minutes. It was this kind of game. Jalen Hurts was awesome. Went 19-28-285 with 4 TDs and no shifts. The other TD was 34 yards for Zach Pascal. Hurts took advantage of a poor secondary opportunity to throw the ball down. Throw in some absolute dimes. The Eagles’ attack was so explosive that they scored 35 points and only ran once into the red zone. I’ve never heard of anything like this. The offensive rookie was in the match with only 43 shots. That’s roughly one point per game. Again, this is crazy. I could do it on the SuperTecmo Bowl, but doing it in a real game is amazing. Fabulous. […]
[…] Szczęśliwy dzień AJ – Iggles BlitzJeśli jesteś wystarczająco dorosły, wracasz do TO. Brown to ten poziom odbiorcy, facet, który potrafi łowić trudne chwyty i regularnie rozgrywać duże zagrania. Steelerowie nie mieli dla niego odpowiedzi. Zdobyłby jeszcze wyższe liczby, gdyby Orły nie usiadły na pozycji wyjściowej przez ostatnie dziewięć minut. To była tego rodzaju gra. Jalen boli był fantastyczny. Udał się 19-28-285 z 4 niszczycielami czołgów i bez fumble’ów. Drugi TD był uderzeniem z 34 jardów dla Zacha Pascala. Hurts wykorzystał słabą drużynę, rzucając piłkę w dół pola. Rzucił absolutnymi monetami. Ofensywa Orłów była tak wybuchowa, że zdobyli 35 punktów i rozegrali tylko jedną grę w czerwonej strefie. Nigdy o czymś takim nie słyszałem. Zawodnicy ofensywni oddali w grze tylko 43 strzały. To prawie jeden punkt na mecz. Znowu to szaleństwo. Mogą to zrobić w SuperTecmo Bowl, ale zrobienie tego przez Orły w prawdziwej grze jest imponujące. Wątek. […]

[…] Feliz AJ Day – Iggles BlitzSe você tiver idade suficiente, estará de volta ao TO. Brown é esse nível de recebedor, um cara que pode pegar forte e consistentemente fazer grandes jogadas. Os Steelers não tinham resposta para ele. Os Eagles teriam postado números ainda maiores se não tivessem sido titulares nos nove minutos finais. Era esse tipo de jogo. Jalen Harts foi fantástico. 19-28-285 com 4 TDs e sem turnovers. O outro TD foi de 34 jardas para Zach Pascal. Lesões tiraram vantagem de uma secundária fraca ao jogar a bola para baixo. Ele jogou centavos absolutos. O ataque das águias foi tão explosivo que marcaram 35 pontos e fizeram apenas uma jogada na zona vermelha. Eu nunca ouvi nada parecido. Os titulares ofensivos estiveram apenas no jogo 43 vezes. Isso é quase um ponto por jogo. Novamente, isso é loucura. Eu posso fazer isso no SuperTecmo Bowl, mas os Eagles fazendo isso em um jogo real é incrível. Uau. […]
[…] Completely satisfied AJ Day – Iggles BlitzWhen you’re sufficiently old, you flashed again to TO. Brown is that degree of receiver, a man who could make robust catches and massive performs regularly. The Steelers had no reply for him. He would have posted even larger numbers if the Eagles hadn’t sat their starters for the ultimate 9 minutes. It was that type of sport. Jalen Hurts was incredible.

[…] Hyvää syntymäpäivää AJ – Iggles BlitzJos olet tarpeeksi vanha, palasit takaisin kohtaan TO. Brown on tämän tason vastaanottaja, kaveri, joka voi tehdä kovia saaliita ja isoja pelejä säännöllisesti. Steelersillä ei ollut vastausta hänelle. Hän olisi esittänyt vielä suurempia numeroita, jos Eagles ei olisi istunut avauskokoonpanossa viimeisten yhdeksän minuutin ajan. Se oli sellainen peli. Jalen Hurts oli mahtava. Hän meni 19-28-285 neljällä TD:llä ja ilman liikevaihtoa. Toinen TD oli Zach Pascalin 34 jaardi. Hurts käytti hyväkseen heikon lisäpelin heittämällä pallon alas. Hän heitti oikeaa rahaa. Eaglen hyökkäys oli niin voimakas, että he tekivät 35 pistettä ja kilpailivat vain yhden ottelun punaisella alueella. En ole koskaan kuullut mistään sellaisesta. Hyökkääjät olivat pelin sisällä vain 43 laukauksen ajan. Se on melkein yksi piste pelissä. Jälleen, se on hullua. Pystyn tekemään sen SuperTecmo Bowlissa, mutta Eagles tekee sen todellisessa pelissä on erittäin vaikuttava. Vau. […]
[…] Bonne journée AJ – Iggles BlitzSi vous êtes assez vieux, vous êtes revenu à TO. Brown est un receveur de niveau qui peut faire des attrapés difficiles et de gros jeux sur une base régulière. Les Steelers n’avaient pas de réponse pour lui. Il aurait affiché des chiffres encore plus importants si les Eagles n’avaient pas assis leur partant dans les neuf dernières minutes. C’était un de ces jeux. Jalen Hurts était génial. Il est allé 19-28-285 avec 4 touchés et aucun revirement. L’autre TD était le 34 verges de Zach Pascal. Hurts a profité d’un secondaire faible et a laissé tomber le ballon. Il a jeté quelques sous. L’attaque des Eagles était si explosive qu’ils ont marqué 35 points et n’ont couru qu’un seul jeu dans la zone rouge. Je n’ai jamais entendu parler d’une telle chose. Les partants offensifs étaient dans le match pour seulement 43 clichés. C’est presque un point par match. C’est encore fou.

L’attacco degli Eagles è stato così esplosivo che hanno segnato 35 punti e hanno eseguito solo una giocata nella zona rossa. Non ho mai sentito parlare di una cosa del genere. I titolari offensivi sono rimasti in gioco solo per 43 scatti. È quasi un punto per giocata. Ancora una volta, è pazzesco. Posso farlo su SuperTecmo Bowl, ma gli Eagles lo fanno in un gioco reale è oltre l’impressionante. Oh. […]
