Philadelphia – Eagles Receiver Devonta Smith Said that members of the passing game were not “on the same page” several times during the loss of 21-17 on Sunday. Bronchos,
Smith said, “We have improved some areas. We can still get much better. Shot ourselves very much in the leg.”
The best day of the passing game was statistically, as Jalen hurts Threw 230 yards in 23-38 with two touchdowns.
However, there were some breakdowns, for a crime, which were published on four consecutive assets in the second half as Denver returned from a shortfall of 17–3. Smith mentioned some plays in which he said that the receiver missed the signs of the Hurts before Snap.
“There is a time where we are looking at him and he can give a sign before or after seeing it, and finally we have to be on the same page,” he said, “We have to see that signal no matter what.
“These were only small things inside the routes. They must have seen some presenters and we never saw it.”
Hurts said that he “does not miss any of those things” and he would have to talk to Smith what he was referring to.
A big chance came late in the third quarter from 1-and-15 from Eagles’ 39-yard line. Receiver AJ Brown The seam dropped down and Denver was able to cross the defense, but slowed down for a beet because the herts were getting ready to throw. Harts passed beyond the reach of brown at a distance of some yards, which would have almost certainly been a touchdown.
“It’s not that I didn’t think the ball was coming,” Brown said. “When I saw, I did not see the ball. I looked back, I did not see the ball, and then the ball was thrown. We just missed.”
“You either kill it or you don’t, and we didn’t kill that one,” Herts said. “We see tapes when we get an opportunity and we learn from it. But in the game at that moment, it is about finding a way to put a dagger in them, and it can definitely be a dagger in the game.”
Brown, who showed his frustrations this week in the position of a pass game last week, did not tell Smith’s spirit about not being on the same page, suggesting that there was more between Herts and Smith. Brown stated that the passing game “actually started well” but they “just didn’t finish” and that “inconsistencies appeared again.”
The passing game was at 31st position in NFL, which was heading in the week 5, and Eagles was excluded in each of their first four matches. When the attack calms down, sometimes there is a risk of prolonged the crime for almost the entire half. Nevertheless, Eagles thanked the records of 4–0 for high efficiency in Red Zone, standouts of special teams, a stout defense and a positive turnover difference.
“Some things do not get you until they find you,” Hurts said.
