Eagles vs. Bengals Preseason Breakdown: Snap Counts, Three Stars & Game Ball Analysis
Preseason fireworks. Eagles hidden gems shine bright in week one. But here’s where it gets intriguing. The Philadelphia Eagles first preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals might have been just a warm-up for some, but it unveiled some captivating storylines that could shape the team’s roster. Let’s dive into the snap count analysis, notable performances, and special recognition. A brief delay, but worth the wait. We typically publish these analyses the day after a game, but the NFL’s stat team was a tad slow in updating the game book. Guess even they need a preseason warm-up. Quarterback Conquest 43 snaps. Tanner McKe, the undisputed star of the show, McKe dissected the Bengals defense with ease, finishing 20 of 25 for 252 yards, two TDs, zero INTs, and a QB rating of 135.3. His tush push TD was the icing on the cake. 16 snaps, Kyle McCord. 15 snaps, Dorian Thompson Robinson. They McCord saw more snaps, Thompson Robinson has consistently outperformed him in camp, a trend that continued in this game. Running back roundup, 26 snaps. Kalin Robinson 17 snaps each. AJ Dylan Shanderek Powell 14 snaps. Will Shipley. Shipley’s 38-yard run was a highlight, but his overall performance was somewhat muted. Dylan proved serviceable as a backup. Other notables, Anniia Smith, two catches, 11 yards, one TD, and a long punt return, though with room for improvement. Elijah Cooks, limited playing time due to a shoulder injury. And Jahan Dodson, two catches, 27 yards in minimal action. Tight end takedown, 23 snaps. Kylin Gransson 22 snaps. EJ Jenkins 17 snaps. Harrison Bryant Gransson’s perfect three for three target completion for 28 yards solidifies his top spot in our Eagles tight end power rankings after Dallas Godard and Grant Calcetera. Offensive line observations. Notable snap counts. Miles Hinton 60, Drew Kendall 58, and Brett Toth 46. Key development. Tyler Steen, despite only playing one series, nine snaps, made a crucial block on Shipley’s long run, essentially cementing his starting RG position. Edge defenders and interior defensive line. Edge defenders saw limited action with notable performances from Patrick Johnson, a wouldbe sack negated by a penalty, and a tipped ball int. Interior defensive line highlights include Tai Robinson’s sack and Gabe Hall’s pressure, though the group was generally quiet. Linebacker and cornerback safety snap counts. Linebacker Smail Mandon’s tackling issues marred an otherwise promising game. Cornerback and safety notables Tristan McCullum, Cydney Brown, impressive control and quick reflexes, and Maxon Hook, a physical safety who made his presence known. Three stars and a game ball. Tanner McKe, QB, Eagles, possibly the NFL’s best QB, too. Darius Cooper, WR Eagles, a standout performance from an undrafted rookie. Joe Burrow, QB, Bengals, ready for the regular season with a 9 out of 10, 123 yard, one TD performance. Game ball QB Tanner McKe, Eagles, stay connected.
