The Philadelphia Eagles' attack has been slipping since the start of the 2024 season. Surprising difficulties for a group that has changed little and has already shown great promise in the past. Lane Johnson (RT), the veteran offensive lineman, has a… personal explanation to clarify this disaster.
“Our offense is constipated, that’s what it looks like, b*****”
Of course, the Eagles star was able to provide a more detailed analysis. Present since 2013 within the franchise, the player has experienced ups and downs in many different attacks. Enough to gain the necessary perspective on this complicated pass. Coming out of the victorious game against the Browns, Lane Johnson was both optimistic and paternalistic with his group, as reported by NBC.
“We are definitely frustrated. We have a lot of ability, a lot of talent and we make matches more complicated than they should be. This is something we need to fix. From a talent standpoint, it's one of the most complete attacks I've been a part of, but we have to prove it again.”
Looking for the right formula
The numbers prove Lane Johnson right. Over the first six weeks of the 2024 season, the Eagles are the only team not to have scored a single point in the first quarter of a game. Worse, over the last 10 years, there have only been four in this case.
With a positive record (3 wins – 2 losses), Philadelphia is hanging on. However, the acceptable offensive performances against Green Bay and Cleveland are correlated with the presence of AJ Brown (WR).
With him, the Eagles won their two games. The star receiver shone individually (11 receptions, 235 yards and 2 touchdowns) but also allowed his teammates to break free. His presence opens his coordinator's games notebook. Such dependence is rarely a sign of good health.
Latest symptom of the Eagles' illness, Nick Sirianni. The head coach must find the necessary vaccine for his offense. The tumultuous coach has his mind elsewhere. After the victory against the Browns, he preferred to clash with his team's supporters. Will Philadelphia be able to soothe her stomach aches?
