Eagles thoughts: Course corrections
Bleeding Green Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The Eagles currently hold a 2-1 record, while the Rams are struggling at 1-2, with both teams seeking improvement in their upcoming Sunday game.
- Despite hopes that Sean Mannion's offense would better involve complementary players, Darius Cooper has seen minimal offensive snaps, though he excels on special teams; with DeVonta Smith sidelined, Cooper should receive more offensive opportunities.
- The Rams, who had the best penalty differential in 2025, now have the worst in 2026 with -13 penalties and -105 yards, contributing to their disappointing start this season.
- Nick Sirianni maintains a perfect 4-0 coaching record against Sean McVay, with the Eagles outperforming the Rams in wins, points, yards, and Super Bowl appearances since Sirianni became head coach.
- Looking ahead to college prospects, Mississippi State and Alabama quarterbacks Kamario Taylor and Keelon Russell are gaining attention for the 2028 draft, while Ohio State and Iowa are showing promising offensive linemen and safety prospects that align with Eagles' needs.
