Packers Film Room: Previewing the Eagles’ passing game against Green Bay

The Packers are gearing up to face the Eagles, and their film room is buzzing with analysis. Let’s dive into the Eagles’ passing game and how Green Bay might defend against it.

 

First off, Jalen Hurts is a decently efficient quarterback, but he’s not one to challenge defenses with throws over the middle of the field. He rarely attempts intermediate passes, unless they’re short underneath throws ¹. This could be good news for the Packers, who have struggled with defending passes over the middle. However, it’s also bad news because the Eagles have talented receivers like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who can go deep.

In their previous matchup, Hurts threw for 278 yards, with Brown and Smith combining for over 200 yards receiving and a touchdown ¹. The Packers will need to find a way to contain these receivers, especially since they’ll be without cornerback Jaire Alexander.

One potential strategy for the Packers is to use simulated pressure fronts to disrupt the Eagles’ passing game. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has used this approach effectively in the past, and it could help limit Hurts’ options ¹.

 

The Eagles, on the other hand, will likely try to exploit the Packers’ secondary with aggressive passing. They may also look to get Saquon Barkley involved in the passing game, as he’s a talented receiver out of the backfield ².

Overall, it’s shaping up to be a fascinating matchup between the Packers’ defense and the Eagles’ passing game.
