The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 11 win over the Detroit Lions are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis.
OFFENSE
- Jordan Mailata is the only Eagles player to play 100% of the team’s offensive snaps this season.
- One week after playing his lowest snap count percentage of the season (77.8%), A.J. Brown logged his fourth-highest snap count percentage and highest snap count total. He saw a season-high 11 targets, which only resulted in seven catches for 49 yards. Is this progress?
- Fred Johnson played most of the game at right tackle with Lane Johnson leaving the game due to a foot injury in the first quarter.
- Cam Jurgens left the game with less than half of the fourth quarter remaining. We’ll see if he’s able to practice this week. Might’ve returned to action too early? Brett Toth continues to be his top backup option.
- Saquon Barkley logged the most touches he’s had in any game this season with 27. He only had his fourth-highest yards from scrimmage total (90 yards comprised of 83 rushing and 7 receiving).
- Grant Calcaterra played a lot and did a lot of run blocking despite the fact he’s just not very good at it. Very bizarre that the Eagles continue to utilize him this way. Calcaterra has seen just one target for zero receptions in his last three games played.
- The two lowest snap count percentages of Dotson’s 2025 season have come in each of the last two games. He had the Eagles’ longest play of scrimmage with his nice 34-yard reception that he held onto despite taking a big shot from Brian Branch.
- Prior to Sunday night, Kylen Granson had been targeted two times this season: once in Week 1 and once in Week 2. Those two receptions produced six yards. Granson then went without a target for seven games before being targeted twice on Sunday night. He dropped a downfield opportunity but, I mean, what are you expecting from your third string tight end?
- Tank Bigsby doesn’t play much but he’s effective when he’s out there. Which is funny because the ball is likely going to him if he’s on the field. He logged four carries on his eight snaps for 34 yards (8.5 average). Since joining the Eagles, he’s logged 17 carries for 156 yards (9.2 average). Build the offense around Tank!? Probably not but maybe do get him more involved until it stops working.
- A week after seeing his highest snap count percentage of the season, Shipley logged just seven snaps and didn’t log a touch. Surprised the Eagles didn’t run any coward’s draws with him. Good to see, though.
- Matt Pryor has been sixth offensive lineman (in place of Fred Johnson) when Lane Johnson hasn’t been able to play.
- Darius Cooper logged his second-lowest snap count percentage of the season. Not going to help that he had a false start that wiped out a tush push attempt at 4th-and-1.
- Cooper DeJean continues to be the guy lined up deep behind the QB kneel operation just in case there’s a fumble recovery and he needs to make a tackle. Unlikely to happen but you never know.
- Cameron Latu is a beast on special teams and he’s a good blocker. Maybe use him more often instead of Calcaterra?
DEFENSE
- This was Adoree’ Jackson’s highest snap count percentage of the season. Lots of nickel defense on Sunday night.
- Jalen Carter continues to nearly play the entire game each week. Big workload.
- Jaelan Phillips was the Eagles’ top edge rusher for the second game since joining the team. His play is certainly warranting this role; he had one sack, one TFL, and two QB hits on Sunday night.
- Nakobe Dean’s snap count percentage has increased every week since he’s returned to the active roster: 0.0% to 44.9% to 63.5% to 64.7% to 67.8%. Impossible to blame Vic Fangio for leaning on him with how good he’s looked. Dean already has two sacks this season despite only playing on defense in four games; that puts him tied with Jalyx Hunt for fourth-most on the team. Just a really good downhill off-ball linebacker.
- Moro Ojomo played his fifth-lowest snap count percentage of the season but was very effective, especially in some key short-yardage situations.
- Jaylx Hunt didn’t manage to log a sack in a third straight game but he did have a team-high three quarterback hits. Hunt is up to 12 quarterback hits this season after having three in the regular season as a rookie last year. Hunt is tied for the fifth-most QB hits in the league, per Pro Football Focus (they only have him down for 11).
- Jordan Davis had three deflections in this game to give him a league-high six among interior defenders. His size and length really came in handy on Sunday night.
- Nolan Smith played three more snaps than he did in Week 10. As a result, his snap count percentage went up by 9.4%. The Eagles seem to be ramping him back into action.
- Jihaad Campbell played his lowest snap count percentage of the season at 33.9%. His previous low came in Week 8 when he was at 40.4%. Not ideal for the first-round pick to be losing playing time but Dean has been too good to not be on the field.
- Brandon Graham continues to have a small role upon his return to the team. He played eight snaps in this game after playing 10 last week.
- Michael Carter II made his Eagles defensive debut as the extra defensive back in the Eagles’ dime package.
SPECIAL TEAMS
- Kelee Ringo made a nice solo special teams tackle on punt coverage.
- Jeremiah Trotter Jr. had two special teams penalties. Gotta clean that up.
- Long snapper Cal Adomitis logged the first solo tackle of his Eagles career.
- Braden Mann had seven punts. He has 46 punts in 10 games played this year. He only punted 54 times in 2024.
- Joshua Uche didn’t play on defense for the second game in a row. Limited to special teams duty.
- Jake Elliott was 3/3 on field goal attempts in addition to making his sole extra point attempt.
- Xavier Gipson continues to line up as the punt returner and one of the two kick returners. He had a bit of a shaky moment fielding a punt on Sunday night. The Eagles should really just be using Britain Covey for punt returns.
- Jakorian Bennett was limited to two special teams snaps in his first game back from injured reserve.
