The Inquirer’s Olivia Reiner and EJ Smith discuss the Eagles’ offensive line, the NFL trade deadline, and which defensive players have stood out so far on this edition of Gameday Central Extra.beat reporters Olivia Reiner and EJ Smith discuss the recent success of the offensive line, who the team should target at the trade deadline, and which defensive player has most impressed them.The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday.
They had Fred Johnson out there at left tackle, starting in place of an injured Jordan Mailata. They had Tyler Steen out there at right guard starting in place of Mekhi Becton. And really, this offensive line didn’t miss a beat and kept Jalen Hurts clean for the majority of the day. Hurts was only pressured once. He was not sacked at all.
Before the bye week, they were giving up 128 yards per game. We saw it. There are a lot of manageable third downs, a lot of third-and-shorts where you can’t really be aggressive because you’re not sure if they’re going to run it or if they’re going to pass it.Coming out of the bye week, they’ve only been giving up 78 yards per game in the last three games. I think that really does kind of tell you the difference, and I think the linebackers are instrumental in that.
He made a really impressive fourth-down stop against Ja’Marr Chase on Sunday against the Bengals. Just a very veteran play essentially. That was what C.J. Gardner-Johnson was talking about after the game, is that just the ability for this rookie to not get fooled by Chase on this motion in the backfield, and to be disciplined with his eyes, and to continue to track him, and to make that tackle, too.
I think that Za’Darius Smith on the Cleveland Browns would fit that profile pretty well. He’s a guy who’s played well in his career. He’s got five sacks so far this season, so he’s someone that would fit what they’ve done in the past.
