Doug Pederson alludes to possible action plan for Nelson Agholor
Injuries affected the Seattle Seahawks as well.
“The biggest thing with us is we have so many little mistakes every week, even when we win games”, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said. The Seahawks are on a two-game winning streak after managing an underdog victory at Gillette Stadium last week. They want this team to win football games, and because I am a part of this team, I have a responsibility to them.
Seattle held Philadelphia to 308 yards, with Wentz accounting for 218 through the air.
If the offense struggles, the defense picks up the slack led by players like safety Kam Chancellor, cornerbackRichard Sherman, safety Earl Thomas, and linebacker Bobby Wagner. Chancellor had not made an interception in almost a full calendar year (Nov. 29, 2015) before Sunday. Though Philly is 5-4 (and have lost four of their past six games) they’ve allowed the sixth-fewest yards and third-fewest points in the 2016 National Football League season. Leodis McKelvin left the game and was evaluated for a concussion in the second half and Halapoulivaati Vaitai exited late in the fourth quarter with a leg injury. He finished with a career-low in completion percentage (51.1), but his two touchdown passes gave him his first multi-TD game since October 30 in a 29-23 loss against the Cowboys.
But catch? The Seattle Seahawks quarterback showed he can do that, too.
Baldwin finished with a team-high 104 yards on four receptions.
17 players missed at least one play because of injury.
Over Wilson’s last three games, he has scored a total of nine touchdowns and had just one interception.
5 or 14 for 25 yards during crucial stretch in the 3rd quarter while the game was still being contested. Through 10 games, 64.0 percent of their plays have been called passes, which is 11th-most. His play was so solid that the Seahawks released leading rusher Christine Michael (469 yards) earlier this week with injured Thomas Rawls (fibula) about to return.
They haven’t yet, but even at what Matthews said was probably Agholor’s “lowest point”, the embattled receiver is still trying to project confidence.
After the game, Agholor spoke at length at his locker about what he called his “mental block” and apologized to Eagles fans for his performance so far.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson grew up in Washington and went to Seahawks games at the old Kingdome. Philadelphia has not lost at home this season.
The Seahawks defense will be the best he’s faced so far this year, and the setting one of the most intimidating. Russell Wilson is not that type of quarterback, which makes some of his quick release times concerning. You pick your poison. “That’s Russell Wilson. It makes a huge difference when he’s healthy and he’s able to do that for us because it opens so much on our offense”.
Here’s a look at what they’re saying. “We control what we can control”.
Carroll wasn’t the only member of the Seahawks impressed with Wentz’s play. He’s a rook. That’s what he is.
“As soon as we become disciplined, I see ourselves right up there”, he said. “It’s not like he went out there that play and said ‘I’m going to take a touchdown away.’ We made a lot of mistakes tonight”.
