The funny thing about watching this back is that I only notice 2 differences in execution, but they’re GLARING differences. 1. The Eagles haven’t had an X receiver who can consistently beat DBs on 6-8 yd slants 1-on-1 in 2 years. AJ was a monster on this drive in just slant routes alone, but he fell off hard in 2025 and neither Cooper/Wicks have filled that void so far this year. When Hurts has his go-to slant read on 3rd down, the Eagles are unstoppable. We saw it against Jacksonville; when Wicks beat his man 3 times on 3 straight 3rd and longs, the Eagles converted all of them. But that production is so obviously missing from the past two years. If you’re not convinced, watch back the video. Moore had a whole page of 3rd and medium plays, and most of them had AJ running that 5 yard slant. 2. No backbreaking penalties. 2025 was littered with errant holding and false start penalties on early downs, and it keeps biting them in 2026. Mannion emphasizes staying on schedule and you can’t do that if you’re sloppy with the procedural part of the game. There are smaller differences, but the point is that the 2024 offense had answers that the 2026 offense just doesn’t. Call it injuries, call it coaching malpractice, call it a personnel issue. That fact remains.
