Passing Game Will Require Offseason Chan

It very well could be back to the wide receiver drawing board for the Eagles.Hard to believe that after spending five draft picks on that position in the last three drafts, including two in the first round and one in the second, this position still is not good enough.The New York Giants rushed just four throughout most of Sundays game and dropped seven into coverage. The strategy worked as the Eagles hit the end zone only once in a 13-7 lo s.Quarterback Jalen Hurts found very few easy throws and his receivers found very little open ground. The pa sing game, again, is not where we want it to be, said head coach Nick Sirianni on Monday. I Tre McKitty Jersey take a lot of pride in that. I've been on a lot of teams that have been very succe sful pa sing the football, and so no one is taking that harder than me and it's my job to get that fixed.Week 13 arrives Sunday against the New York Jets then the Eagles will at long last have their bye week.There is precious little time to get it fixed.There are a couple of ways to fix it in the offseason.RELATED:The first would be Lance Alworth Jersey to change quarterbacks.Having a more conventional, drop-back quarterback capable of consistently getting the ball out quickly could make the receivers better. It would also require only one change, sort of similar to a head coach getting fired in any sport when its really a handful of players that need to be canned.We're not where we want to be in that part of our game, Sirianni said about the pa sing game. We're working like crazy to get better at it. I think what you've seen is our play-action game has been able to be succe sful, but when teams know we're dropping back and when we're dropping back to pa s, that's where weve struggled in the third-and-longer scenarios.Thats not all on Hurts, of course. The receivers and tight ends play a part.Dallas Goedert had one Mark Webb Jr. Jersey catch for zero yards on Sunday andDeVonta Smith had two catches for 22 yards.Scroll to ContinueWith 686 yards receiving this season, he must average 62.8 yards per game over the final five to become the first WR to top 1,000 in a season since 2014. If the season wasnt extended an extra game and there were just four games left, he would need to average 78.7.The second way to upgrade the pa sing game is to continue the never-ending quest for competent pa s catchers.Smith and probably Quez Watkins are keepers, but who else?The Eagles wont draft one in the first round with their expected three picks. They just can't.Matt Millen, now a broadcaster, tried that with the Detroit Lions when he was their GM in the early 00s, taking Charles Rogers, Roy Williams, and Mike Williams from 2003-05 then taking another crack at it with Calvin Johnson in 2007.It didnt work.RELATED:They have 10 picks throughout the three-day draft, so spending one later is certainly not out Los Angeles Chargers T Shirts of the question. Perhaps they get one on Day Two.The best route will be to spend some money in free agency.Maybe they make like its 2017 all over again and sign two right out of the gate. It was that year when, on the first day of free agency, they inked Alshon Jeffery to a one-year deal and Torrey Smith to a three-year deal, giving the Eagles two weapons for Carson Wentz, then Nick Foles, that helped win them a Super Stephen Anderson Jersey Bowl.It's much too early to determine what receivers will reach free agency, but there are some big names that very well could be available should their current teams not re-invest in them.The biggest is probably Green Bays Davante Adams, but Tampa Bays Chris Godwin, L.A. Charger Mike Williams, and Chicagos Allen Robinson could also be available. Other po sibilities are Dallas Michael Gallup, Pittsburghs JuJu Smith-Schuster, who was lost for the season early with a shoulder injury, Indianapolis Zach Pascal, and Jacksonvilles D.J. Chark.First, though, the Eagles have to decide what their plan will be at quarterback.
