Where is 2017 Lane Johnson and who do we have to contact in order to get him back onto the team? What in the world is going on with this offensive line? More specifically, what in the world is going on with right tackle, Lane Johnson? He’s been struggling way too much this season, and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Carson Wentz is getting killed in the pocket. Whether he’s getting sacked, hit, or even worse, strip-sacked, the Eagles are killing the small amount of momentum that they have built up in the first place. This offense hasn’t struggled this bad since Nick Foles’ first few games under center last season. The worst part about that is that the Eagles are far from the first seed this time around.

Lane Johnson is supposed to be the best blocker on this team. We know he can be, but right now he isn’t playing anywhere near his potential. Maybe a dominant game against the Giants is precisely what he needs to get his confidence back. At least, we hope that’s the case.
