Lane Johnson’s Big Week, By the Numbers

The key number when it comes to his job: 1.95.

That was the overall grade the Eagles coaching staff gave him for Friday’s performance against the Patriots. It was the highest mark out of all the offensive linemen. Johnson explained the scoring system on Tuesday afternoon.

“I think 2 is the best you can get,” said Johnson. “Basically every play they have a scoring system. It could be a zero, which is pretty much total failure, and then I think three is being the most dominant you can. Twos and threes are good numbers for every play, so that’s how they grade ’em. I think I had a few threes, but mostly twos.”

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Davis Breaks Down the Breakdown

Camp Notes: Earl Wolff Running With the Ones

0V3J6867Defensive coordinator Billy Davis has a philosophy when it comes to rookies.

“I believe that when they start they should start at the bottom, and they should earn their way up,” said Davis. “It doesn’t take long for the better players to push their way up. Really, it comes from basically saying, hey the vets have been here and worked at it, someone has to take it from them before you just anoint somebody. But a lot of times when you see the talented young guys come up, they take it pretty quick. And when it’s time and you’ve seen enough and they’ve earned it, then you move them up.”

For the record, Davis hasn’t moved Earl Wolff up just yet. But he did have him working with the first team opposite Patrick Chung for the entirety of Monday’s practice.
