Eagles media team impressed with Lions? schemes on film.
See what the Eagles? official media folks noticed when they studied their next opponent.

If you are not familiar with the Eagles Game Plan and Eagle Eye in the Sky programs at the Eagles? official team site, there are a number of film analysis pieces their crew put together leading up to Sunday?s game with the Lions. We highly recommend checking all of them out. First up, Greg Cosell was on their full length video program (direct link here in case the embed is not loading for you) looking at the incorporation of new tight end talent into the Lions? offense:

In another part of the program, Cosell looked at the ways that Detroit uses movable pieces on defense to present multiple looks in the front. In it, they feature Trey Flowers and Jahlani Tavai, showing different alignments and assignments for each player from Week 1 and Week 2. Cosell and Fran Duffy (@duffy3) also posted audio from the Eagle Eye in the Sky podcast with more film material. If you know our Pride of Detroit crew then you know we can?t get enough of this stuff:

Eagles Podcast. 47 minutes.

Lions DT A'Shawn Robinson has really flashed on tape as well. Excellent run defender with some rush upside. Very disruptive all-around player. He's really stout inside for that #OnePride DL. He, Flowers, Snacks Harrison, etc are a formidable front.

Jarrad Davis, Taylor Decker questionable for Lions; DeSean Jackson among 4 out for Eagles.
Mlive

Cornerback Rashaan Melvin (knee), defensive lineman Da?Shawn Hand (elbow) and special teams ace C.J. Moore (heel) are also questionable, the best designation available for injured players. Nobody is doubtful or out.

Philadelphia isn?t so lucky, already scratching four players. Receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen), running back Corey Clement (shoulder), defensive tackle Tim Jernigan (foot) and offensive tackle Jordan Mailata (back) are all out. A fifth player, linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill (knee), is listed as doubtful.

Tight end Dallas Goedert (calf), receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) and quarterback Nate Sudfeld (left wrist) are questionable.
