The All-22 view makes the Nelson Agholor alligator arms play look even worse

The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t lose to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7 just because Nelson Agholor failed to catch a deep ball thrown by Carson Wentz.

That situation would more accurately describe the Eagles’ Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Still, the following failed completion serves as a real bad lasting memory from the Eagles’ loss to their NFC East rivals:

I didn’t think the broadcast angle did Agholor any favors on this replay. As it turns out, though, the All-22 version is even worse:

I don’t believe Agholor to be a low effort player but the alligator arms here are just not a good look. Agholor’s deep ball tracking ability is also an obvious problem:

The Eagles are paying Agholor $9.4 million this season, which ranks 26th most among NFL wide receivers on a per-year basis. He’s not even coming close to justifying that price tag.

It really looked like Agholor was about to turn the corner after such a promising 2017 season. He had a really good 2018 offseason and it seemed like he was poised to take another step forward.

That didn’t happen. Instead, 2017 is looking more and more like the aberration in Agholor’s career.

Unless Howie Roseman makes a trade (Adam Schefter did say Philly’s in the market for a wide receiver) or promote Greg Ward from the practice squad and suddenly give him a big role (unlikely), the Eagles are stuck hoping Agholor can turn it around.

It’s not easy to feel super confident.
