Corey Graham – Noteworthy
S Corey Graham and S Malcolm Jenkins led the Eagles in tackles against the Saints, with nine each. Hicks had seven before departing with his injury.
Golden Tate – Noteworthy
WR Golden Tate played twice as many snaps in his second game as an Eagle, logging 36 of them against the Saints (71 percent). He was the team’s leading receiver, though, that isn’t saying much since the Eagles had just 196 yards of total offense. Still, Tate was targeted eight times, catching five passes for 48 yards.
With the addition of Tate, the role of rookie tight end Dallas Goedert continues to decrease. He played 18 snaps in Tate’s Eagles debut last week, but on Sunday that total dipped to 16. He was targeted only once against the Saints and he has not caught a pass now in two straight games.
Josh Adams – Noteworthy
RB Josh Adams is becoming the Eagles’ lead back. He played significantly more snaps (28) than Corey Clement (14) and Wendell Smallwood (4). Adams was one of the few bright spots on Sunday, galloping 28 yards for his first career touchdown — and the Eagles’ lone touchdown in the game and finished with 53 yards on seven carries (7.6 yards per carry). Clement had just two carries; Smallwood only one.
