Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Studs and duds following a Week 6 loss
Yes, we can find some nice things to say about a few other Philadelphia Eagles.
Who is Jason Peters? That’s a joke of course, maybe. Week 6 was the third start at left tackle for Jordan Mailata, and he continues to improve and impress. He has been able to use his size and athleticism to help secure things on Wentz’s blindside, and his efforts aren’t going unnoticed. He still has much to improve upon, but his level of play might land him a position as a permanent starter.
Brandon Graham is now is his 11th season as an Eagle and, so far, has shown no signs of slowing down. While the complaints about Fletcher Cox continue to grow, Graham is a constant motor that keeps this defense churning. He’s consistently bringing pressure to every offensive line that he faces. Graham has three sacks on the season, and in Week 6, he was able to disrupt the Ravens diverse offense. Add two more sacks and two tackles for a loss to his 2020 resume.
Some may have missed just how much of an impact Josh Sweat had on this game. Sweat was able to continuously fight to the ball and closed down many open holes that the Ravens were looking to punch through. He had three tackles for a loss (led the team), one quarterback hit, and a few different pressure plays that put Lamar Jackson in trouble.
