The backups of the Eagles of Philadelphia played an ugly pre-season football match on Saturday afternoon against the Browns of Cleveland. As always, win, lose or tie, we give 10 prices.
1) The price of the “Camp Battle Lead Change” 🪜: Andrew Mukuba
Mukuba removed the Browns balloon twice. The first point to remember was a strange game in which Browns QB Dillon Gabriel launched a pass between two Browns receptors which should not have been so close to each other. Mukuba read the play, intervened between them, interception and made it 75 yards for a TD.
Mukuba also recovered an escape from a Bad Browns transfer exchange. It was in the right place at the right time, which, of course, has an element of luck, but being in the right place at the right time “is a nice line for safety.
After Mukuba missed an important part of camp, he began to have the impression that Sydney Brown closed on the safety work in front of Reed Blankenship, but the huge game of Mukuba probably puts him in the lead.
2) The “gross” price 🦨: the offense of the eagles
In the team, the Eagles had 88 yards, first 8 downs, 7 clearances of clearance, and they only made 44 games. They couldn’t run, they couldn’t pass it, and everything looked really ugly. One of the internship lights was a game in which a Dorian Thompson-Robinson pass was struck in the air by the defensive line of the Browns, followed by some offensive line players of the Eagles trying to jump the ball on the ground, followed by Aj Dillon rushing to catch it for a loss of 14 meters, lol.
3) The price “Welp, this decision has become much easier” 📉: Dorian Thompson-Robinson
“DTR” had surpassed the Kyle McCord recruit throughout the training camp, and this second pre-season match seemed to be an opportunity for him to prove that the Eagles should keep it, or at least show what he can do for other teams in potential business. Welp, I can say with a high level of confidence that no one negotiates DTR after his performance on Saturday, when he had 5/8 for 17 yards and the terrible pick-6.
In all honesty, it was a bad snap from Brett Toth, who has long proven that he could not make SCH. I also understand that this is a pre-season game and that guys try to play, but you just have to eat this bag and live another day.
McCord was not much better. He had 8/16 for 47 yards and a TD, but even some of his completions were not always precisely on the target, but the decision to keep McCord and cut the DTR became quite clear on Saturday.
4) The price “Pray for Health along the line O”: the offense of the Eagles in 2025
Eagles’ o-line backups look trembling. Matt Pryor had a hard time in this match, Toth had the bad snap above, Kendall Lamm had his share of bad moments throughout the training camp, and none of the recruited offensive plated seems to be ready to play in a real game.
If there was a positive “kind of” – or at least a notable development – it is that the recruit C drew Kendall has obtained rehearsals at LG, which means that the Eagles may consider it as an active gameday player with a versatility C / G.
5) The price “Everything he does is to take touch”: Ainias Smith
Smith had a reception of a hit in the first pre-season game of the Eagles against the Bengals, and he had a hit on an inclination against the Browns.
For in 2024, Smith also had a TD taking in the final of the regular season of the week 18 of the Eagles against the Giants. So, these are three affected in three consecutive matches for Smith. This is probably enough for him to get a place on the 53.
6) The price “ it is alive ”: azeez ojulari
Ojulari had sometimes been invisible throughout the training camp, but he had several pressures on Gabriel and dismissed him once.
Eagles were always likely to give Ojulari all opportunities to show somethingBecause it was the best paid outdoor acquisition this offseason, and now you can put its place in the pen.
7) The price “ oh, it starts ”: Jihaad Campbell
Campbell had a bag on a blitz through the gap A. Browns Rg Zak Zinter did not see it before it was too late, and Campbell was too fast for Zinter to rest.
Campbell still has work to do in the cover and some of the most beautiful things in the Vic Fangio system, but (a) it is too explosive to keep the gap, and (b) it will improve much faster if, you know, it plays.
8) The price “ always pending ”: the CB competition
The turns in the running for the starting CB2 work in front of Quinon Mitchell did nothing deliciously bad as they did in the pre-season match n ° 1 against the Bengals, but they also played against the backups. Jakorian Bennett made a great pass break (video via Victor Williams):
But still, none of the corners Really marked their ticket in this game. So we continue to wait.
9) The price “absence is gold” 🪙: Tyler Steen and Will Shipley
Steen succeeded in the day after playing in the pre-season match n ° 1. There was no question that he had already finished the work of departure RG, but there is your confirmation.
Shipley also seems to have locked up RB2 work, and Dillon did not help his case with his bone game, noted above.
10) The “Winding Down” price: Eagles Training Camp
There are three other training camp training sessions – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday – followed by the third and last pre -season match of the Eagles on Friday. The Eagles 1 opening week’s match against Dallas Cowboys is only 18 days old.
Side note: I had to leave this game in the second quarter with an illness, hence my delay publishing this article of 10 prizes. I am considered on a daily basis, but I tend to participate in training on Monday.
Oh, and we should also probably note that the Eagles lost, 22-13.
