Three Eagles Make Football Outsiders All Pro Team

PrintFootball Outsiders released their version of the All Pro team that they say, unlike the AP All Pro squad, ignores the reputation of players and focuses solely on their production. The AP team included two Eagles, LeSean McCoy and Jason Peters, the FO team also has those two on it but includes one more Eagle.
Here's what they had to say.
RB: LeSean McCoy, Eagles
McCoy led the NFL in rushing value according to DYAR, and moreover, he did it despite turmoil along most of the Philadelphia offensive line. We try to estimate how much rushing yardage can be attributed to offensive line blocking as opposed to the running backs with a stat called Adjusted Line Yards. Philadelphia was just 26th in ALY, but Philadelphia was second in Second Level Yards per carry (yards gained 5-10 yards from the line of scrimmage) and fourth in Open Field Yards per carry (yards gained 11-plus yards from the line of scrimmage).LT: Jason Peters, Eagles
The one bright spot on the Eagles' offensive line. FO's J.J. Cooper tracked every sack in the NFL this year and found only one for which a Peters blown block was directly responsible. In addition, LeSean McCoy had his best rushing success running around left end.DT: Cullen Jenkins, Eagles
Jenkins' average tackle on a running play came after a gain of just 0.7 yards, the best figure in the league. He also added 5.5 sacks.

The one bright spot on the Eagles’ offensive line
whatever, lost credibility. dont care about this at all
claude giroux and shady mccoy. the future
That’s what I was thinking. What about Evan Mathis? And for rookies I thought Kelce and Watkins were bright spots. Herremans was rock solid as usual.

"i was never back on (the Eagles' bandwagon)… they’ll go 8-8 at best and Reid should be fired at the end of the season…. and all you loyalists will be crying your eyes out… and jumping off ledges cuz u didn’t see it coming" - Eagladelphia
People still think the offensive line is like the horrible ones we had for the past couple of years. These are the same people who think Vick suffered all his injuries this year from scrambling.
Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.

Oops, looks like that line was already appropriately bashed.

Interesting they didn’t mention Mathis, as Pro Football Focus claims he was the best LG in the league. I do agree the Eagles O-line was in turmoil most of the season as it was a major reason for Vick’s high number of turnovers early in the season (and also the reason he played hurt/missed 4 games due to injury). I think people forget Van Doran was a massive disaster and that Kelce and Watkins, although looking like solid picks, had several rookie mistakes as you would expect from them. Herremans was extremely solid but did seem to have a learning period to the position early .

What games were you watching bro? Turmoil for most of the season? our oline was pretty damn good this year. Of course rookies are gonna make a few mistakes, that comes with being a ROOKIE. And who the fuck is Van Doran? Do you mean Kyle DeVan? And many time when Vick went down and got hurt, was because he held on to the ball too long trying to make something happen out of nothing. How about you get some facts before you say stupid things

I know of course rookies make mistakes that’s my point. 2 Rookies and some bum named DeVan or whatever his name is thats how much I remember from him and he STARTED. That equals mistakes that people overlook. This wasn’t a rebuilding year where we were fine starting all these rookies this team was supposed to win the super bowl. And Vick did not miss games from holding the ball too long. He got hurt against the Cards and broke ribs when he got rid of the ball to Celek (quickly) and got nailed after the play. How bout you get your facts right.
