Lame Johnson is a first ballot hall of famer! Dickerson will never be better than him. Nice video analysis though 👍🏾

[@cajum24]

Shout out to the main man behind all this brutality, Jeff stoutland the OL coach. Man turns everyone we get for him into a monster

[@TheBigShotJonesy]

Best O line coach in the NFL. And yes that man owns a monster factory.

[@boricua9071]

Jordan Mailata is more than enough proof of that man’s brilliance.

[@knight6]

Jeff Stoutland is the man, being kept on the Eagles with 3 different head coaches. Probably the best thing to come from Chip Kelly’s time with the Eagles was hiring Jeff Stoutland as OL coach.

[@DanielHBuchmann]

just resigned stoutland too

[@nickmiller3764]

Except Dillard 😂 been looking better lately tho when given opportunity

[@abender06]

Love it! No matter how advanced the game gets imo it's 90% about who can win the battle at the line of scrimmage.

[@trainenjoyer22]

[@declancoyle2592]

For years I would get disappointed when we would draft a lot of linemen early in the draft over other positions, but boy oh boy was it genius. I credit Howie and the front office as well as the Goat Jeff Stoutland for making up front a priority. Both sides of the ball have been DOMINANT this year and have played a big part in our success. Offensively It is a great mix of youth and veterans that get the job done every week. They are going to play a HUGE part this weekend against San Francisco AND in the Super Bowl against KC or Cinci. Oh and by the way, Kelce and Johnson could very well have 2 years left in the tank....

[@SvenDzahov]

A lot of people are attributing the Vikings recent success to Kirk and Jefferson taking steps forward, which, yes, plays a big factor. However I’d say the past 5 years or so our investment into offensive line with 1st, and 2nd round picks is finally paying dividends now that the line is solid. Darrisaw is borderline all pro as like a 24 year old left tackle, Cleveland is very solid in pass pro and a great run blocker, Bradbury is an average pass protector but one of the best run blockers, Ingram is really up and down but he’s a 2nd round rookie and O’Neil is also a borderline all pro right tackle

[@StraightBleach]

Honestly you probably want to draft at least 1 online and 1 dline every draft depending on how good your lines are. But when i was younger linemen were never the sexy pick. As i;ve gotten older i'm looking at line play more than anything else initally.

[@stevebabiak6997]

All this talk of the linemen having to be picked in first or second round isn’t exactly true. Lane Johnson is first round, Landon Dickerson is second - and none of the other Eagles starting O line are: Kelce sixth round, Mailata seventh round, Seumalo third round. Goeddert at tight end is a second round pick. Ironically, the Eagles have a first round pick (Andre Dillard) as a backup on the O line.

[@logicbomb8977]

Kelce is not coming back

[@sageagbonkhese4091]

@@stevebabiak6997 they didn't expect mailata to be the starter. The eagles are smart, the better player plays. Dillard isn't a bust. Mailata is a freak.

Yea u should see the “short” of ref giving him mad props as Kelce pushed the RB (and defender) for like 10 yds to the sideline.

[@1neOfN0ne]

Man I love this Eagles team. I honestly believe they're even better than the 2017 Superbowl team. They're actually a lot better and on all sides of the ball. The pass rush is historically great but with the guys they added this off-season, I don't think I've ever seen an Eagles secondary improve as drastically as they have from last year to this year. This may be the best Eagles group of DBs/Safety's I've ever seen in the 30+ years I've been watching this team. Even in down years, our O Line has always been top notch during the Lane/Kelce era. The defense is elite but this offense is no doubt the best Eagles offense of all time. Hopefully they continue playing to the level they're capable of playing, I believe they will because with this Niners team coming here on Sunday they're gonna have to in order to win this game. Should be a phenomenal game I'm excited to watch the two best teams left in the NFL battle it out and when it's over and done with, we'll be the ones playing in Arizona in a couple weeks 🗣️ E-A-G-L-E-S

[@academicdeaneducation6671]

Few thoughts. I think the 2017 D-Line was better. Throughout that season, they put pressure on opposing QBs. 2017 was better at TE and RB. Jenkins made a big difference at safety. Though they are very different, I think Foles was a more dangerous QB because of his willingness and ability to take shots deep (I love Hurts too). Both are unflappable. Both run the RPO extremely well (though differently because Foles was a threat to throw deep and Hurts is a threat to run). Foles came from behind in that SB and brought that team from the dead in 2018. I'm not sure Hurts can do that yet (he may be able to). Would love to see the teams in a dream match-up. Fun to think about.

[@Mon-zw4ui]

@@academicdeaneducation6671 bro your flat out wrong this team is way more talented. Just look at the depth on the D line Brandon Graham is back up with 10+ sacks. Foles dosent even compare to Hurts who can beat you with his arms and legs

[@academicdeaneducation6671]

@@Mon-zw4ui Fun debate but you're comparing Graham of today with Graham of 5 years ago? Same with Fletcher Cox. Five years can be a lifetime in the NFL. The backfield was better. The D-Line was better (everyone feared them). The defensive backfield may be a wash. The O-line may be a wash as well (remember, they were considered the best O-line in the game back then as well). Today's receivers, as a whole, may be better. Of course Hurts is better with his legs but Foles was better with his arm. Foles played great when the pressure was on AND he did so when everyone thought both 2017 and 2018 were over. He hadn't receives first team reps. Pretty difficult to do. He beat the best defense, then turned around and beat the Patriots powerful offense (coming from behind). The following year, that team was dead until he came in. Beat The Rams, Texans (with Watson), and the Bears (everyone's SB dark horse. Nearly beat Saints in NO. NO disrespect to Hurts. I really want him to win. They are different and Hurts hasn't accomplished as much YET.

[@Mon-zw4ui]

@@academicdeaneducation6671 I'm comparing that we have those guys as backups pretty much

[@academicdeaneducation6671]

@@Mon-zw4ui I dig it. My statement is really irrelevant. Just disagreement in response to the original comment. It is very easy to downplay the past - to forget how good that team was and how good their opponents were. This team has to win though. If they don't win, well, results speak for themselves. Ultimately, it's all decided on the field. Your point is well taken. Sunday can't come soon enough.

[@unnes]

outstanding analysis bro, this is stuff i'd never see in real time

[@floydian022]

@4:27 - I just want to add to the analysis on this particular play(which was great, btw, as was this entire video) that there's a particular reason WHY #57 chose to flow towards the weak side: it's because the Eagles ran another play earlier in the game out of the exact same formation/look, and #57 didn't flow on that play and instead chose to cover Goedert(and upon reading that, Hurts handed off to Sanders for a 12 yard gain). #57 remembered that previous play and didn't want to be wrong again, which is why he flowed the next time he saw that look. Except that's the problem with defending the Eagles' offense - they design these plays to make you be wrong *either way*. It's one thing when teams run multiple plays out of the same formation, but it takes things to an entirely other dimension when a team does that AND designs multiple run/pass options within the same play, and does so in a manner that makes for a relatively instantaneous read from the QB in order to react and select the correct option accordingly. And also, please don't take that last bit as me saying "it's 100% the system and not the QB", b/c that's simply not true either(and Chris Simms is an absolute clown for that take, btw). It still takes a truly special QB with elite football IQ *and* throwing *and* running abilities like Hurts, in order to be able to not only make those split-second post-snap reads but also to execute the QB run options that are built into many of these plays. This is some truly 4D chess-level stuff, and it's fun af to watch.

[@DankBirdGang52]

That's exactly what I love about this offense. Jalen is The System. Even if his passing numbers aren't pretty to the eyes of the public, the way he runs the offense and the efficiency it has is thanks to him.

[@Swaggmire215]
