Looking at the 5 most disappointing Eagles through 3 games

The Eagles (1-2), are searching for an identity on both sides of the ball and will need to find some synergy over the next three weeks with matchups against the Chiefs, Panthers, and Buccaneers.

Philadelphia didn’t enter the season with huge expectations, but after several low-key free agent signings, the expectation was that the Eagles could contend for an NFC playoff spot.

After three weeks, the Birds have had disappointing moments on both sides of the ball, and we’ve highlighted the five most disappointing Eagles through 3 games.

Barnett leads all Eagles edge rushers in snaps played, and all he has to show for it is penalties, emotional outbursts, and a lack of sacks.

2. Miles Sanders

Sanders shouldn’t be on the list, but a running back with his talents should be listed with Derrick Henry and Alvin Kamara as the league’s best at the position.

In Philadelphia, Sanders has failed to log a 1,000-yard season through his first two years in the league.

3. Eric Wilson

Wilson’s playing time has decreased each week. and through three games, he’s one of Pro Football Focus’s worst-graded linebackers.

Wilson has struggled in pass coverage while maintaining his penchant for missed tackles.

4. Ryan Kerrigan

He’s supposed to be terrorizing the opposition like he did the Eagles for almost a decade.

Through three weeks, a lot of people have forgotten that Kerrigan was on the roster.

5. K'Von Wallace

A star at Clemson, there was excitement galore around the franchise when Wallace was available on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Wallace hasn’t lived up to the hype and he’s proven to be injury-prone.

Can we add "1 read and run" Hurts to this list? Most of his long completed passes should not have been thrown. Also, 3 carries by 2 RB's combined is the biggest joke in the NFL. Sanders should not be on this list. The "disappointment" is the the HC and OC never call on him. He could work PT at games selling hot dogs, and come down for his 2 plays per game  🤣

Might as well waive Kerrigan and Wilson and let the young guys have their reps
