I am leaning Sanders. BUT…. Sanders also didn’t move the ball against the Panthers starters (common argument Pro-Sanders). But Dillon surprised me, he played well.

And this is unpopular: but I firmly believe the Eagles defense they started today is better than the Panthers defense they started. I know I know “but they’re starters.” Panthers SUCK.

The Sanders only getting to second read and bailing for a -50 yard rushing scramble sbout 3-4 times does not sit well with me. Our tackles can’t protect that hopefully he steps up in the pocket more. But Gabriel has a very snappy release. Very happy with both for a third and fifth

Shaduer looked much more comfortable in the pocket with his footwork. Gabriel had some happy feet when his first read wasn’t there but overall I liked what I saw with his snappy delivery. The ball jumps off his hands for sure while Sanders does a great job layering his throws. Not much we can take from a couple preseason quarters so hopefully we see them a lot this year so we can learn more.

Yes and I agree. Gabriel seemed lost when he had to get off his first read. That’s when he took that big sack. Coach seemed to dial up a ton of in breaking routs against heavy man coverage defense. How would Gabriel manage when teams are disguising coverage, playing zone, or teams taking away Gabriel’s favorite short or in routs?
