Philadelphia Eagles: 2 issues on offense, 1 last look and a silver lining

This Philadelphia Eagles offense has to gel this weekend.

In Week 1, Carson Wentz and this Philadelphia Eagles offense were out of sync, to say the least. Wentz certainly had his issues that need to be addressed, but head coach Doug Pederson could have helped out with his playcalling and getting the ball out of Wentz’s hands more quickly.

Then, there’s Rich Scangarello. His inclusion indicated that we’d see more designed bootleg and roll out plays for Wentz and this offense, but that only happened once in Week 1. The result? A 12-yard completion to the Washington five-yard line which set up a Zach Ertz touchdown one play later.

Why didn’t we see more of this when we needed it the most? Rolling Wentz out would’ve limited the impact of the defensive line and given him a simplified view of the defense to work with. As Philly fans have seen for the past few years, Wentz is at his best when he is on the move, but that’s only the half of it. Here are a few of the other things that stand out when you look at the film and how those aspects of the Eagles offense can be cured prior to game two.
