But his passer rating – 103.8 in the first half (5 th-highest), wasn’t far off in the second half at 98.0 (6 th-highest). So 67 percent of his passing yards came before halftime. But after halftime, Hurts didn’t need to throw that much and his numbers reflect it: He averaged 11 pass attempts (24 th-most in the league) and 80 passing yards (22 nd-most in the league). He averaged 20 pass attempts per game before halftime, 6 th-highest among all QBs. Here’s what I find really interesting: Hurts actually had the 3 rd-most passing yards in the NFL last year before halftime with 2,498, behind only Patrick Mahomes (2,832) and Justin Herbert (2,590). Why throw? The Eagles were fantastic at running the ball, running clock and finishing games. ![]() The Eagles led eight games by double digits at halftime and led seven by 15 or more points after three quarters. He didn’t need to throw in the second half of most games because the Eagles were usually up big and their running attack was unstoppable. Hurts threw for 247 yards per game last year, 13 th-highest in the league. ![]() It’s so funny to me when people who are still desperate to find a way to criticize Jalen Hurts use his low passing yard total from 2022 to supposedly demonstrate that he’s not a big-time passer. That's just a taste of what's in store for you in today's Roob's 10 Random Training Camp Observations.ġ. I hope the team gets to see what he’s able to do in the regular season.Comparing Jalen Hurts' passing stats before and after halftime, whether Tyree Jackson has a chance at making the 53-man roster and a Josh Sweat prediction. Before the injury, I thought Ojomo would be another fantastic defensive guy in development under the Eagles. Unfortunately, Ojomo suffered a concussion in the preseason so of course a longer recovery time is necessary. So far this season he’s had five tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. The defense is getting beefed up and Carter, among the others is only just getting started. He’s been a speedy defensive guy that I think the Eagles will really benefit from.Ĭarter is one of the stellar guys the Eagles picked up and I could not be happier about it, on top of having Jordan Davis as well. He’s had three tackles and one pass deflect so far. Since preseason, I’ve been rooting for him to make the team in an already shaky safety room. Also, having the Alabama background coming to the Eagles continues to build the bond around the guys who come from Alabama and Georgia.īrown is a great player who had a great season. However, he’ll be an interesting guy to keep around as he had a fantastic college career. Ricks hasn’t had much play time, if any, yet this regular season. Obviously, the cornerback room is stacked right now, but it’s exciting to watch Ringo continue to develop and already excel this rookie season. I’m excited to see him continue to develop. Ringo had two solo tackles so far this season. So far this season, he’s had one solo tackle. Obviously, the Eagles linebacker room is stacked, so Smith is probably going to be spending time developing in the linebacker room. I think Steen is a good guy to keep around as the core offensive guys get older. ![]() I wouldn’t be opposed to getting him snaps later in the season if the Eagles put themselves in a position to succeed in the postseason. That’s not to say I’m not impressed with Steen either, but I’m also looking forward to how he develops under this core group of guys as the season progresses. Steen is another guy who probably won’t get much play time this season unless one of the core offensive linemen goes down. Luckily, we know what McKee is capable of as he put up great numbers in preseason. ![]() Carter is also currently in the Defensive Rookie of the Year running at (+100) odds on BetMGM.īelow are all of the rookies’ stats and thoughts so far after their performances in September or preseason in August.įor McKee to have to play, Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota would have to be injured – which would be the least ideal position for the team to be in this early in the season. Both guys have had stellar performances already and will only get better as the season progresses. The two guys I think who stand out the most after September are safety Sydney Brown and defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Going defensive heavy again in the draft this past year, the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) eight rookies have had promising developments in the preseason and regular season so far.
