Eagles-Panthers instant accounts: Quez Watkins finally overtakes Jalen Reagor

It’s time to take a look at how many Philadelphia Eagles have snapped since their Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers.

• The Eagles went with Andre Dillard on left tackle, Landon Dickerson on left guard, Jason Kelce in center, Jack Driscoll on right guard and Jordan Mailata on right tackle.
• Dickerson did not finish the game. It’s not exactly clear why. The Eagles have not announced an injury. Maybe it was due to struggles?
• DeVonta Smith played most of the game. He saw eight targets, which honestly isn’t even enough. The Eagles should channel their offense even more through him.
• Jalen Reagor, Zach Ertz and Miles Sanders combined for just 38 yards on 16 targets.
• For the first time in the entire season, Quez Watkins finally passed Reagor. We call it from the start. Kudos to the coaching staff for finally delivering and not just playing Reagor more because he was a first round pick. That said, there is no good reason to force five targets on Reagor when Watkins only gets three.

Watkins this season: 17 targets, 13 recs, 267 yards (20.5 average), 0 TD
Reagor this season: 25 targets, 17 recs, 140 yards (8.2 average), 1 TD

• Sanders has touched the ball 16 times in his 50 snaps. His rushing numbers were OK with 11 carries for 45 yards. He crossed the line TWICE at the end of the game, which was unbelievably stupid. Sanders was a non-factor as a wide receiver with just six yards on five receptions.
• Dallas Goedert saw just three targets, recording two receptions for 28 yards. His 20-yard reception in the middle to prepare for the Eagles touchdown was pretty big.
• Ertz would have had a better day if Jalen Hurts could have hit him on a wheel road instead of knocking him down and being picked.
• After experiencing a season high in number of shots last week, Kenny Gainwell has experienced a season low this week. And some of his playing time only came because Sanders proved untrustworthy to stay within Philly’s last practice limits. Gainwell gained 24 yards on his three touches. Need to involve him more.
• Nate Herbig took pictures with Dickerson not finishing the match.
• Greg Ward’s most memorable moment was being called up for offensive pass interference to wipe out DeVonta Smith’s second career TD reception.
• JJAW is up to 42 snaps and 0 targets. Will the Eagles ever throw him a pass to keep the defense honest and not just assume he’s just a blocker?

• Anthony Harris hasn’t really stood out yet, but he hasn’t missed a shot this season.
• The Eagles have used more nickel defense over the past two weeks, with Avonte Maddox recording his two highest snap percentages of the season.
• 75% is a season high for Josh Sweat. His playing time has increased in each of the last three games. Interesting how he played the most snaps of any defensive lineman.
• Fletcher Cox finally came out of the schneid with a sack and two quarterback hits. He was late. He was able to take advantage of a disappointing Panthers offensive line, as it should be.
• Second week in a row where Rodney McLeod only played 72% of the snaps. The Eagles seem to be helping him come back.
• Javon Hargrave played a good percentage of snaps and was more productive than ever.
• Genard Avery recorded his second most snaps of the season. Did good things there!
• Eric Wilson had his less playing time of the season. His previous low percentage was 63.2% in week 3. Good fit. He was bad.
• Davion Taylor had the longest playing time of his entire NFL career in Carolina. He made some good tackles in the open field. Keep playing with him. Unlike some vets, it actually offers long term potential.
• Ryan Kerrigan has finally recorded a stat! His first and only in 142 shots this season.
• TJ Edwards played the least of any Eagles defenseman, but was huge for the Eagles on special teams with his stuck punt.

• Shaun Bradley admitted he should have tried to pick up and score on the Eagles’ blocked punt recovery.

• For the second week in a row, Patrick Johnson was limited to ST shots only.
• Not pictured in screenshot: Jake Elliott played eight snaps and Le’Raven Clark played four on his debut with the Eagles.

INACTIVE: Lane Johnson, Gardner Minshew, Jack Anderson, Mac McCain, Marlon Tuipulotu

ACTIVE: Joe flacco

• Still no word on what is preventing Johnson from entering and if / when he will return to the game.
