Mackensie Alexander

Had a decent amount of slot snaps from what I saw, but don’t have the snap counts (waiting for Bob’s weekly post).

Other than one contested catch over the middle, I didn’t see his name called once. Seemed very solid there. If he can hold down the slot and Bland can perform outside then I think we can go back to feeling good about our secondary. Wright also seems like he can at least rotate in there.

And I do think the majority of the eagles big plays were exceptional scheme and our lack of pass rush. Other than Diggs getting greedy and impatient, I think the corners did ok. They should at least not be an issue versus Tennessee and hopefully the same against Washington.

Wright is definitely a huge weak spot for me...in time he will be extorted on the field like Bossman. What I was thinking though is teams in the next two weeks might stray from throwing Bland's way as he has the hot hand... if Trevon could just pick up his awareness this could be huge going into the playoffs.

Pass rush will pick back up once we settle the secondary down a bit and start figuring a few things out.

Back end has been so bad we haven’t had a sack in like two weeks

There were multiple snaps where Minshew had ample time to throw. No secondary stops guys for 3+ seconds. Pass rush has its fair share of blame as well as the secondary.

Veteran DBs that understand and know their assignments are vastly undervalued in terms of giving a pass rush that little bit of xtra time.
Losing both Lewis and Brown definitely had an impact, but we are fortunate to have discovered a playmaker in Bland along the way.

Like a symbiotic relationship it is.

Didn't he get pulled for Wright?

Played 14 snaps, only allowed one completion for 9 yards.

Doesn’t seem like the type of performance that would cause a benching. Especially since he plays in the slot and Wright is outside.

They might be playing to see who wins the spot

I like Wright.

The Cowboys pass rush gone away, and the CBs have failed to adjust which has led to them getting beat. In order to complete a double move pass, a QB needs time n protection.

These CBs are used to the ball coming out quick because of the rush. Things have changed now the CBs have to really cover to help the pass rush.

Alexander looked good. Wright looked good. Honestly, I'm more concerned with the pass rush.

I like Wright.

No idea why people do............... he's not very good.

He is improving. Hopefully, he will continue to get better!
