Zach Ertz Is Back in Philly! Eagles-Bears Preview + NFL Week 3 Panic Meter
The SZN with Nick Foles & Evan MooreShow Notes
Zach Ertz is back with the Philadelphia Eagles. Nick Foles and Evan Moore break down what the legendary tight end can still bring to Jalen Hurts and the offense, then preview Eagles vs. Bears on Monday Night Football.
On Episode 61 of The Season presented by YETI, Nick and Evan explain why Ertz remains such a quarterback-friendly target, how his leadership could affect the Eagles’ locker room and why his return could help Philadelphia attack the middle of the field.
They also take a detailed look at the Eagles’ evolving offense. Why has the outside-zone run game been slow to develop? What is going wrong with the screen package? How can better early-down execution open up play action? And what do Jalen Hurts’ third-down performances say about the offense’s ceiling?
On defense, the guys assess Philadelphia’s pass rush, lack of takeaways and run defense before a matchup with Ben Johnson and the Bears. Plus, the NFL’s 0-2 teams go through the Panic Meter, the biggest Week 2 turnarounds are ranked and Nick and Evan make their Week 3 picks.
