No sacks, our blitzes always looked a second too slow to develop...we need a lot more speed on this front 7

Foles had all day back there.....
 
No hightower, also Philly Oline is one of the best unit in the league.

They have a smallish but very athletic O line. Our looping stunts were easily picked up all night.
 
The Pats don't have a single player in the front 7 who's top 20 at his position.

They're one of the worst in the NFL.
 
It was actually a front 5 plus 4 safeties and 2 corners.
 
The only good pass rusher is Trey Flowers. And when he is the best and mostly only option, you can scheme him out of the game.

Harrison wasn't bad, but he wasn't great either. He blew a few tackles for loss, was not-close-enough on some rushes. But he was the second best option, which should tell you how bad of this DL is. Remember, Hightower was playing with them at the beginning of the year so they could generate any type of pressure.
 
Lots of near misses...foles looked nimble out there lol
 
Butler would have made a difference on those 3rd downs. This defense looked helpless. It was a joke.

Even on the Agolor WR screen, Butler would have stopped that for minimal gain, not a 9 yard gain.

By the way, anyone notice the pick play on the crucial Ertz 1st down late in the game?

There’s no way you could possibly know that

Every team runs rubs/picks

I noticed it. It was Brent Celek who purposely ran directly into McCourty, but the zebras were never going to call that because of the traffic there, and it also might've been within the one-yard rule.

Foles never should've completed that pass anyway; Tre Flowers took a weird angle to him, and Van Noy might've been able to knock down the pass had he actually bothered to raise his arms. It's unbelievable to me how the Patsies defenders NEVER raise their arms whenever a QB throws a pass.
 
It was a bad showing. That sack party against TEN was a weird mirage. No one really got it done. I feel had the game not turned into a complete shootout that they would have been able to ball control on the ground the whole game too.
