Eagles thoughts: Course corrections

Before the season began I asked if the new Sean Mannion led offense would get complimentary players more involved . We got our first look at an answer on Monday with a stark result: no, not even a little.

Against the Titans, Darius Cooper had a nice catch and run for 23 yards on 1st and 17, and later scored the game winning TD. He's been outstanding on special teams. The head coach likes him. His reward? 4 snaps on offense against the Bears, fewer than Elijah Moore. Meanwhile Makai Lemon played 35, a season high 70%. Tank Bigsby was the only skill position player to play fewer snaps than Cooper. Will Shipley, EJ Jenkins, and Johnny Mundt all played double digit snaps on both special teams and offense. Cooper did so against the Titans.

Now with DeVonta Smith set to miss a few games, Cooper should get the chance on offense he deserves. There is no excuse not to.
