Eagles Doing Better Limiting Opponents' Sack Attacks

“He’s very mobile so that helps, and then also I feel like we are very well coordinated right now with knowing where he’s at, knowing where he’s gonna be, where his set point is, where his drop is gonna be, so it helps tackles know where to set and where their spot is and where he’s gonna be,” said center Cam Jurgens. “That helps, but the number one thing for helping us is getting the ball out and I feel like he’s doing a really good job getting the ball out.”

The Eagles’ offensive line has been able to build cohesion after the first couple of months when it seemed like players were in and out of the lineup.

“I think when you look at the whole season as far as our pass protection, the guys have done a phenomenal job,” said offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. “I mean, Tyler Steen, Fred (Johnson) stepping in, Cam, Landon (Dickerson), all those guys, Jordan (Mailata), they're doing a great job, and they work extremely hard at it.”

Patullo said the O-line is constantly working on stuff during practice and in the meeting rooms.

“I think a lot of it has to do with the communication and just jelling through things,” said the OC. “As far as in meetings, making calls and understanding what we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it and it's been impressive. They've gone up against some really, really good rushers. To see what they're doing has been awesome and it's really helped us. In the pass game, whether it's play action or even a drop back, it's been really good.”

It’s been more than just the O-line, however.

“I think we're getting good contributions; receivers getting open, doing good things there, good protection, Jalen reading the defenses and getting the ball where it needs to go,” said head coach Nick Sirianni. “I think everything contributes to that.”
