It’s been a bumpy year for the 5-4 Philadelphia Eagles. They may sit at the top of the NFC East, tied with the Dallas Cowboys, but there’s been more noise and adversity than the team have arguably ever faced under Doug Pederson’s guidance. But hrough all the unrest and turmoil, there’s been one common thread – the wide receiver position.
It’s safe to say that heading into week 1, nobody expected the production from Pederson’s outside weapons to be this underwhelming. It’s not just a case of numbers being worryingly low, but it’s the drops, the miscommunications, the lack of action for a second-round pick, and the mental errors.
