YMMV but the Eagles are one of the teams I watch almost every week and I am not so sure on this. Wentz looks worse now than he ever did. If you talk to any Eagles fans they will probably tell you the same thing... in a certain slack channel last night Mark Schofield was saying the same thing. He is broken. I am saying that as a Wentz fan.Wentz would be putting up numbers with this coaching staff and team. I actually hope we get him on the cheap next year.
Simon isn't that unathletic imo. He's not a super athlete but his RAS is in the 8's. Simon in 2018 and 2019 was really good at setting the edge. This year he's been bad at it. He is also 30 and his play is dropping off - that's not that unusual. They need better edges. They need a 260-270 pound guy who can hold up and not get washed.Obviously we don't have line of sight into anything behind the scenes, but playing Jennings over Winovich feels like coaching malpractice (on the surface, at. least). Jennings and Simon were comically bad on the edges. They're both fairly limited athletically, so if they can't set their edges, there's not much else they're going to bring to the table. I don't know if they're sending messages to Wino or what, but he's orders of magnitude better than Jennings and much more disruptive than Simon. Let's see more Uche, too. His ratio of splash plays is really encouraging; let him figure it out on early downs. Unlike Jennings, he's got the rare athleticism to have a really high ceiling.
OL got overwhelmed, which we haven't seen happen in a long time. Seemed like every single one of them had their share of misses, with Uncle Phil having some egregious ones.
45-0 to...whatever that was in the span of a couple of days is just wild.
Wino has been super inconsistent against the run from what I have seen. Right now they don't have a complete edge. You can get away with having one bad run defending edge but with 2 it makes it a lot harder obviously. Jennings was one of the best run-defending edges in last years draft. Wino is their most disruptive player and someone I will do a deep dive on soon because I want to see if it looks like his rotational status is justified or not. I have a hunch it is. I think he must be struggling against the run in practice... if he figures it out there then he should see more reps.
And another thing unrelated to this is Onwenu. He is, imo, not a tackle. He has shown you he can play guard at a high level. He really struggles as an OT against better pass rushers. Part of that is because he is learning OT footwork. Part of that is because he doesn't have the kind of movement skills to beat faster rushers and if he cheats they just hit the inside lane.
