DE Jalyx Hunt: Chasing another mobile QB
Dak Prescott can work in and out of the pocket. Patrick Mahomes is a handful. Baker Mayfield is hard to catch. Bo Nix moves on almost every snap.
Jaxson Dart?
The same challenge for the Eagles' defensive front, one of the areas of focus for the group as they prepare for Thursday night's game against the New York Giants.
"I feel like almost every quarterback can break out of the pocket. That's what the league is all about," Hunt said. "Jaxson can definitely do that. That's part of the offense they run. He will do it from nothing and he can run off a designed play.
"He's giving them a spark and that is exciting for them. He is agile, he can move, and they all believe in him. So that's what we're looking at. We have to make sure he doesn't get loose, but we also need to pressure him."
RB A.J. Dillon: Benefit of Thursday night games is on the back end, but focus is on the task at hand
Everyone agrees that the bounce back from a Sunday game to a Thursday night is challenging both physically and mentally. But there is a reward here, says running back A.J. Dillon.
"You get a little mini-bye weekend on the other side and that is helpful," he said. "Of course, the focus is on the game on Thursday and preparing for that, but we will all get through it and take advantage of a few days of downtime after that."
Dillon acknowledges that while the Eagles are 4-1, they haven't played to their standard on the offensive side of the ball.
"Ups and down in a season, that's the way it is for every team," Dillon said. "We have what it takes to play our best football. We just have to keep working at it. That's what we're doing. It is on every player. We have to execute the plays and we haven't done enough of that yet. We will. The good news is that we've won four games and know we haven't played our best football. That's coming."
