The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 10 win over the Green Bay Packers are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis.
OFFENSE
- Jordan Mailata is the only Eagles player to play 100% of the team’s offensive snaps this season.
- Brett Toth made his second straight start at center with Cam Jurgens out.
- DeVonta Smith led all Eagles wide receivers in snaps, targets, receptions (tied with Dallas Goedert), receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He’s WR1 right now.
- A.J. Brown saw his lowest snap count percentage of the season. His previous low was 87.3% in Week 1. It was his lowest snap count percentage since the Eagles pulled their starters early in a Week 10 win over the Dallas Cowboys last season. Brown only saw two targets before the Eagles’ final offensive play, which was Jalen Hurts’ 4th-and-6 throw to him. Very difficult to understand how he’s not more involved in the offense.
- Saquon Barkley saw his second-lowest snap count percentage of the season. He logged his second-most yards from scrimmage in a game this season with 103 total.
- Fred Johnson filled in at right tackle after Lane Johnson got rolled up on. Lane Johnson returned to the game for the Eagles’ final drive. Warrior.
- Grant Calcaterra logged his third-lowest snap count percentage of the season. He was open for a chunk gain (and possibly a touchdown) up the seam but Hurts sailed the throw.
- Jahan Dotson saw a single target in his lowest snap count percentage of the season.
- Will Shipley logged a season-high four carries within a season-high six touches. Shipley’s previous high for touches in a game this season was three, which happened twice.
- Darius Cooper got banged up at one point but returned to the game. He continues to be WR4. It looked like the Eagles drew up a downfield shot to him that got ruined by him slipping on a very slippery Lambeau Field.
- Tank Bigsby’s three carries resulted in just seven yards.
- Cameron Latu saw some playing time as a fullback.
- With Fred Johnson filling in for Lane Johnson, Matt Pryor saw a snap as a sixth offensive lineman.
DEFENSE
- Jalen Carter only missed five snaps. The Eagles continue to heavily lean on their top defensive tackle. He had two important pass deflections.
- Adoree’ Jackson got the start at CB2. He got banged up late in the game and was replaced by Kelee Ringo.
- Jaelan Phillips was very impressive in his Eagles debut. He led all Eagles edge rushers in snaps played and logged six total tackles, including a tackle for loss and forced fumble that led to a fourth down stop on Green Bay’s penultimate drive. Phillips also recovered Nakobe Dean’s forced fumble that prevented Packers points.
- Moro Ojomo tied the team-high for quarterback hits with two. He also called out the Packers’ 4th-and-1 run and wrecked their offensive line to help force a turnover on the Packers’ penultimate drive.
- Nakobe Dean officially got the start at off-ball linebacker and rotated with rookie first-round pick Jihaad Campbell. Dean ranked second in total tackles with seven, including one TFL and a strip-sack. Dean was effective as a blitzer and it’s clear that Vic Fangio wants him out there even though the Eagles invested major draft capital in Campbell. Campbell also saw some playing time on the edge.
- Jalyx Hunt continues to trend in a positive direction with two sacks and three TFLs in his last two games.
- Jordan Davis played his lowest snap count percentage of the season at 43%. His previous low was 52% in Week 8.
- Nolan Smith was the Eagles’ third full-time edge rusher in his first game back from injury. He produced one sack and two quarterback hits in just 19 snaps played. Encouraging sign. Guessing his playing time will tick back up from here.
- Brandon Graham played 10 snaps in his first game back after unretiring. BG did not officially log a stat but he helped to blow up a pop pass for no gain. Would’ve had a TFL if he didn’t miss the tackle.
- Byron Young saw a small role as DT4.
- Michael Carter II played a single defensive snap in his Eagles debut.
SPECIAL TEAMS
- Patrick Johnson got banged up at one point but returned to the game. He logged two special teams tackles.
- It was a busy night for Braden Mann with five punts.
- Joshua Uche failed to log a defensive snap for the first time this season. His previous low was 27 snaps. Clearly behind Phillips, Hunt, Smith, and BG on the depth chart.
DID NOT PLAY
INACTIVE: Cam Jurgens, Jaire Alexander, A.J. Dillon, Mac McWilliams, Ty Robinson, Sam Howell
ACTIVE: Tanner McKee
- Jurgens hasn’t played since Week 7. With the Eagles not placing him on injured reserve, one would assume he’ll be able to suit up by Week 12 at the latest.
- The Eagles don’t seem to be in a rush to get Alexander on the field.
- Dillon hasn’t logged a snap since the Eagles’ Week 6 loss to the New York Giants. One would think he’s in jeopardy of being cut if/when the team wants to open up roster spots. They don’t need four running backs.
- McWilliams and Robinson were healthy scratches.
