Teams are blitzing the Eagles at their highest rates, because they know the Eagles won't block it up correctly.
Geoff Mosher argues that the Philadelphia Eagles must immediately resolve their pass protection issues, particularly allowing unblocked rushers to reach quarterback Tanner McKee. Philadelphia leads the NFL by surrendering 49 unblocked pressures through Week 6, allowing a free rusher on 20.7 percent of dropbacks. Mosher highlights that these protection failures are compounding offensive struggles following a season-ending injury to starting quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Mosher contends that offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and offensive line coach Chris Kuper must simplify and fix their schemes to protect inexperienced linemen Willie Lampkin, Jake Majors, and Markel Bell. Opposing defenses, including the Panthers and Rams, have significantly ramped up their blitz rates against Philadelphia. Mosher notes that repeated failures to pick up blitzes—even with extra blockers kept in—have left the offense nonfunctional.
