Nick Sirianni sat in front of the press. Lincoln Financial Field buzzed with preseason lethargy… a stark contrast to the intensity of joint practices. Things felt off-kilter. More like a baseball team fielding with three outfielders. The Eagles' engine wasn't purring. And Sirianni knew it. Everyone saw it. But what exactly was sputtering under the hood?
The answer hit hard Saturday. Philadelphia's reserves fell 22-13 to Cleveland. Crucially, the spotlight burned brightest on the contenders for QB3. Dorian Thompson-Robinson and rookie Kyle McCord rotated under center. The results?
Pretty painful. Thompson-Robinson managed just 17 yards passing and threw a disastrous pick-six.
