Eagles-Packers snap counts: Reed Blankenship impresses in first extended action

The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 11 win over the Green Bay Packers are in. Let’s have a look and run by some evaluation.

A.J. Brown led all Eagles ability gamers in snap rely share for the primary time this 12 months. His 96.3% topped his earlier excessive from final week towards the Indianapolis Colts, which was 88.2%. Brown caught 4 of his six targets for 46 yards (11.5 common) and one landing. He additionally had a really expensive fumble; his second within the final two weeks. However Brown deserve some stage of slack after being in tough form coming into the sport. I’m not going to publish the gross image right here however Brown was seen with a bloodshot eye within the locker room. He stated that occurred since he was throwing up a lot. He additionally stated he misplaced seven kilos.
Landon Dickerson briefly missed some taking part in time within the second half. Andre Dillard got here in to play left guard. In any other case, the beginning offensive line was in tact as they bullied the Packers up entrance.
DeVonta Smith obtained checked out within the medical tent at one level however his taking part in time wasn’t actually impacted. He led the Eagles in receiving with 4 receptions for 50 yards. 5 of the 9 targets that went his method weren’t accomplished.
Quez Watkins performed his highest snap rely share BY FAR at 82.5%. His earlier excessive was the 64.9% he performed towards the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Good on Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen for adjusting away from so many a number of tight finish units early on final week. There’s extra alternative for Quez within the offense with Dallas Goedert on injured reserve. Watkins caught three of his 5 targets for 35 yards … with 30 approaching the back-shoulder landing seize.
Jack Stoll remains to be clearly TE1 with Goedert out. Not like final week, nevertheless, he didn’t see a goal.
Miles Sanders turned in a brand new profession excessive with 143 dashing yards. And he did it regardless of taking part in his fourth-lowest snap rely share of the season at 53.8%. Actually robust efficiency.
Kenneth Gainwell logged a brand new season excessive in snap rely share. After logging simply three whole touches during the last two video games, he had 9 towards Inexperienced Bay.
Grant Calcaterra’s utilization was practically an identical to what it was final week as TE2.
Boston Scott noticed his fourth-lowest snap rely share of the 12 months however set a season excessive in dashing with 24 yards. Scott additionally was the first kick returner for the second straight week with Britain Covey getting demoted from that position.
Zach Pascal performed his lowest snap rely share of the season.
Tyree Jackson went from taking part in 13.2% of the Eagles’ snaps final week to six.3% this week. Not a lot motion for TE3.
Cam Jurgens was mainly used as a blocking tight finish in a aim line operating formation.

Marcus Epps is the one Eagles participant who hasn’t missed a defensive snap this 12 months. James Bradberry is shut behind with solely three missed snaps.
Reed Blankenship was pressured into motion with C.J. Gardner-Johnson struggling a rib harm. He shortly grew to become the primary undrafted rookie free agent to EVER intercept Aaron Rodgers. And his choose was hardly a present; he made an incredible learn (no pun supposed) to leap the route. We’ve got been saying that Blankenship deserved to be forward of Ok’Von Wallace on the depth chart and he proved as a lot on Sunday evening. Blankenship did get banged up on the finish of the sport.
Javon Hargarve performed his fifth-lowest snap rely share of the season. Fletcher Cox, in the meantime, performed his fourth-lowest. The Eagles try to price range their snaps, which is sensible. Hargrave’s strain early within the recreation flushed Rodgers from the pocket and contributed to him throwing his first choose of the evening. Cox logged his first sack since Week 3 and two TFLs as nicely. With regards to taking part in time, much less will be extra for these guys.
Linval Joseph was up from 40% final week to 61.2% this week. The Eagles trusted him to play a bit extra after solely becoming a member of the staff a pair days earlier than final week’s recreation.
Milton Williams was up from 27.7% final week (tied for his second-lowest snap rely share this 12 months) to 36.7% this week.
Ndamukong Suh additionally noticed a rise from 26.2% final week to 36.7% this week. Although he didn’t formally log a stat on this recreation, Suh did get a hand on Rodgers to knock him off his spot to help a Josh Sweat sack. Not in contrast to Joseph, Suh is being eased in a bit after being in the marketplace all season.
Robert Quinn has been fairly quiet however he was credited with a QB hit on this recreation. It was his first since his Eagles debut in Week 8.
CJGJ left the sport early after placing a giant hit on Christian Watson over the center on a Packers fourth-down conversion.
Ok’Von Wallace performed nicely in a really small pattern measurement, logging two tackles (one solo) and one move breakup ultimately zone. Good to see.
Patrick Johnson suffered an ankle harm on this recreation.

Britian Covey is on the roster solely to return punts at this level.
