Ups and Downs

The Philadelphia Eagles remain undefeated following an eventful 31-25 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On the Week 4 edition of “Inside The Birds Postgame Live,” Adam Caplan and Geoff Mosher gave their takeaways from the game and discussed the biggest moments. 

GETTY IMAGES: The Philadelphia Eagles have struggled to establish their run game through four games.

Eagles Offense

Adam Caplan: “I loved in the way that in the first half, four out of the first five plays were called pass plays. You have to love that. They threw the ball more than they ran it in the first half which was what I was looking for, aggressive. And then they became unbelievably predictable in the second half.”

Jalen Hurts

Caplan: “I know that his passing numbers are not good this season, but he has done a very good job, for the most part, of maintaining his downfield focus.”

Geoff Mosher: “He didn’t complete a pass in the second half. I don’t know if I have ever seen that from a team that scored 31 points and won a game.”

Offensive Line

Mosher: “We have said that they haven’t been themselves much lately, but I thought they did an excellent job for the most part. There was a breakdown here or there, but in general against a team that came at you, I don’t recall too many free rushers.”

Caplan: “At run blocking, they were terrible. They had 11 tackles for loss. It is generally inside runs they are absolutely getting blown up on.”

Pass Rush

Caplan: “I know that their pass rush has been mostly anemic this season. They have had to blitz more. They had some quality rushes when they brought pressure. Guys are having a problem winning one-on-one.”

Mosher: “Every third down, Vic (Fangio) either threw an extra man pressure or a sim pressure.”

Jihaad Campbell

Mosher: “I know there are people who expect that Campbell will move to the edge when Nakobe Dean comes back to give the Eagles that edge pressure, but he is so valuable to their pressure scheme right now as a blitzer from the second level and his coverage. He picked off Baker Mayfield at the most important juncture in the game.”
