I thought he was not good to start the year, but got better as the year progressed. He's good. Someone with advanced stats might have the numbers to show how well each individual was at pass pro. I'd love to have an interior OL where they each are at the top of pass block win% (or whichever stat shows they are good at pass pro). That would go a long way in setting up Brock for success.
I know McGlinchey has been better than usual this year, but if we had a better RT Purdy would actually be able to roll right and throw with his proper mechanics when things went off schedule. Right now he rolls left because the right side collapses and his only safety is behind Trent. But he ends up having to turn back or spin to square his body with a throw and by that time he is usually throwing it away.
I don't think RT has anything to do with him rolling to the left all the time.
Why would a righty roll left if the right side was open? That makes no sense.
This guy gets it. The only reason he goes left is because anybody would go left if the right side is not holding up well. Dallas was blowing up mglinctcheys side the whole first half. Trents on the left so he rolls left.
If your right handed rolling right is preferred always.
The thing is Dallas is built small and fast on defense. They forced him left and took away the screens and checkdowns and closed quickly. CMC also was not at 100%. They are a bad matchup for us.
Combine all this and purdy looked okay but did not light the world on fire. Dallas took away all the yac on short plays and made the long ones much harder until the second half.
It will be difficult for the eagles to imitate what Dallas did. They have more talent but are built bigger. They won't close as fast or stuff the zone as well.
Expect purdy to play better even if he takes a few sacks up the middle. He will get more on the checkdowns and more from the running game.
