2. The Philadelphia Eagles need to feed Jalen Reagor.
Recently, we did an article on how Jalen Reagor is quietly having an impressive season. The majority of the time Reagor is running clean routes that are going to waste because of the rest of this offense. Pederson is a big part of that. He needs to run Reagor on more drags and crosser. Whether is man or zone, Reagor is going to get open with space to work.
Giving Reagor any type of real estate is dangerous. Doug hasn’t called any reverses for him. He never gives him the ball on the jet sweep and he’s given him the ball once when he’s been motioned into the backfield or when he’s been open for any type of swing pass.
Not only that but Carson Wentz is missing Reagor in open space. There have been opportunities to get him the ball especially underneath. If Wentz can develop some rapport with Reagor and get the ball in his hands, they could have a chance against Seattle. Reagor has only played five games due to injury so maybe Wentz just needs some time to build chemistry with him.
If the Philadelphia Eagles make Reagor a primary part of the gameplan, their chances at a victory should increase a pretty fair amount. It seems simple but for whatever reason Wentz and Pederson have not been able to get it done. Let’s hope this is the week we see a breakout game from Reagor.
