Eagles News: Andre Dillard “did not play as well in 2021 as previously perceived”

Eagles player review: Andre Dillard edition - PhillyVoice
In summary, Dillard did not play as well in 2021 as I had previously perceived. [...] Athleticism: Dillard’s strength is his quick feet, and his general athleticism. When tasked with blocking speedier rushers, he does a good job of mirroring and matching them. Still, even though Dillard almost exclusively faced edge rushers build more for speed than power in 2021, Dillard was beaten frequently. Anchoring: Dillard simply couldn’t anchor when he played in 2019, as we documented at length during the 2020 offseason. He did not face any true power rushers in 2021, but when pass rushers attempted power rushes, they had success.
