Eagles' Run Game: Key to Fixing Offensive Woes

Philadelphia Eagles are zeroing in on their run game to fix last season's offensive woes.

Jalen Hertz and the passing attack struggled because too many first downs turned into long yards to go.

Head coach Nick Seriani says the key is handling all that defensive trickery or junk, just like teams do in the past game.

After bringing in Sequan Barkley, the Eagles still saw 41 negative runs from him,

second most in the league behind Las Vegas rookie Ashton, Gen T's 45.

That constant backward creak killed drives and put Hertz in tough spots with limited options

under center, or without much pre-snap motion. Fans and analysts have hammered the passing

narrative around Hertz, Seriani, and the coordinator's switch, from Kevin Patullo to Sean Manion.

But the real pain came from those stalled runs, forcing a shaky aerial attack into

predictably bad situations every game. Seriani dropped hints about Manion's scheme during

combine talks, stressing a run game that counters defensive chaos without overhauling everything.

No one's talking greatest show on turf for viable here, just smarter execution.

The plan boils down to pounding the rock effectively on first down,

setting up the rest of the offense to breathe easier and finally click.
