While the Eagles lead the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt (5.5) by a wide margin, Maddox has been a negative.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ynm0y8of8\">Rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean look like foundational pieces Maddox does not.<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_h7i50axxc\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">3rd &amp; 7: Lamar Jackson hits former Eagle Nelson Agholor who couldn\u2019t get his second foot in bounds. <\/p>\n<p>Avonte Maddox in coverage. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HU0gDsSomR\">pic.twitter.com\/HU0gDsSomR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; DIE-HARD \ud83e\udd85 REALTOR\u00ae (@Eaglesfans9) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Eaglesfans9\/status\/1863366898156454231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_h7jcn6g4c\">During the season, Maddox has 15 tackles. He&#8217;s played just 39% of the snaps, the lowest of his career, and is clearly on the latter portion of his time with the organization.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_f7bl4c08j\">Behind the two rookies, the Eagles don&#8217;t have significant depth in the secondary. Those issues were among the main reasons Philadelphia flamed out early in last year&#8217;s postseason. General manager Howie Roseman did a masterful job correcting those problems, giving the team a real chance to return to the Super Bowl this year.<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_o1i4h7ufm\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Avonte Maddox gets beat (again) but the Eagles get lucky that Nelson Agholor dropped a beautiful pass by Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>GET MADDOX OFF THE FIELD!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014 Shane Haff (@ShaneHaffNFL) December 1, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2gpxuqcts\">Unfortunately, it appears Maddox shouldn&#8217;t be apart of that resurgence outside of situational moments. He&#8217;s still a valued member in the locker room but his contributions to the secondary have lacked between the numbers.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8reljhi7k\">This is a guy who has more than earned his spot in Eagles lore. While there are better options available on a per-snap basis, Maddox is capable of delivering one more epic play when it matters most.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_cdr8yp8op\"><strong>More Philadelphia Eagles News: <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Eagles have no choice but to bench one veteran who has worn out his welcome among fans despite being a valuable veteran and an NFC champion.  2018 fourth-ro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13893,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
