Mitchell’s Promise, Concerns About the Backup QB, and More
Fans had a lot to think about after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Baltimore Ravens 16–13 in a thrilling preseason game. Let’s look at five overreactions from Friday night’s game, keeping in mind that preseason results should be regarded with a grain of salt.
1. Should You Be Concerned About Jalen Hurts’ Backups?
Due to a wet field that shelved Jalen Hurts and most of the starting offense, backup quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee were given a lot of attention. With 20 of 38 passes completed for 128 yards in their combined performance, many were concerned about Hurts’ depth behind him.
Although they were able to lead scoring drives, the offense spent a large portion of the game struggling to move the ball effectively. It’s simple to place the blame for the offense’s lack of star power, but it also begs concerns about Pickett’s progress and McKee’s ability to fill in when necessary.
2. Quinyon Mitchell: Emerging Star?
Quinton Mitchell, a first-round pick, showed glimpses of his promise by almost snagging an interception and showcasing his remarkable versatility by switching from outside corner to nickel on passing downs. Eagles supporters should be encouraged by his self-criticism of missing the interception, which emphasizes his desire to do better.
3. Rookie Effect: A Hopeful Tomorrow
It was not just Mitchell who shone as a rookie. Running back Will Shipley, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, and edge rusher Jalyx Hunt all had successful games that helped the team win. In addition to starting instead of Landon Dickerson, left guard Trevor Keegan showed that he was prepared for the NFL.
4. Jalen Carter as a Protective Manner
Jalen Carter, a defensive tackle, had a big influence during his little playing time. He stopped the Ravens’ offense and almost forced an interception. The opposition quarterbacks are still concerned about his presence on the defensive line.
5. Jake Elliott: There’s Nothing to Fear
It’s preseason, and Jake Elliott’s botched field goal and extra point in the closing seconds served as a reminder that even the best kickers have bad days. But his game-winning 49-yard field goal showed his clutch play and tenacity.
Past the Exaggerations
Although these exaggerations highlight some important lessons from the Eagles’ preseason victory, it’s important to keep things in perspective. Preseason games are not meant to be final assessments of individual players or the team’s prospects as a whole, but rather as platforms for trial and error and assessment.
There were signs of promise from the Eagles’ offense under new coordinator Kellen Moore, especially with McKee and Pickett praising the quarterback-friendly approach. The defense, which included seasoned veterans and talented youngsters, also showed that it could disturb the opposition and make plays.
The Path Ahead
The Eagles’ preseason adventure continues, with the team’s key priorities still being developing team dynamics, assessing their depth chart, and honing their tactics.
The real test will come during the regular season, and the Eagles are ready for another thrilling campaign with Jalen Hurts leading the way and a strong supporting group.
