Eagles QB’s Have Big Day At Tuesday Workout

It was a good day for all of the quarterbacks yesterday morning. If they were giving out game balls for practice, the quarterbacks would have got them for yesterday’s workout.  I thought Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel and rookie Carson Wentz all did a good job of getting the football to the team’s receivers.  I also thought the Eagles receivers did a much better job of catching the football yesterday than they did a week ago.

Bradford got into a groove with his ball placement.  Nearly every throw was right on the money after he got into a rhythm.  Bradford’s accuracy can be a amazing when he gets it going.

He hit Nelson Agholor on a 20-yard crossing route and he did a nice job of leading Agholor with the throw.  He targeted Zach Ertz with a shallow crossing route versus a blitz.   Bradford connected with Brent Celek on a number of short routes that keep a drive going.   The running backs were also targets of Bradford’s throughout the workout.

Daniel made an especially outstanding throw to Celek down the seam.  Celek looked back and the ball was in a spot, where only he could catch it. Daniel also made a beautiful throw down the seam to Jonathan Krause, who went and got the football. It’s obvious that Daniel is short, but he looks even shorter when compared to Bradford and Wentz.

Wentz dropped a ball into Chris Givens on the right sideline on a 25-yard fade, where only the receiver could have caught the football.  His best throw might have been an incompletion in the left corner of the end zone, where Wentz put the ball where only his receiver, tight end Chris Pantale could get to it, but he was unable to pull it in despite the ball hitting his hands.

Birds tight end Ertz should have a big year in 2016 because he looks comfortable in this offense and he seems to have the confidence of all the quarterbacks and Doug Pederson’s offense features the tight ends and running backs.
