On Thursday, Eagles hosted the bungles at the prediction opener, so it was a difficult night for Kelly Rango and Adori Jackson.
Wak Fangio is not going into sugar coat.
But the Eagles’ defense coordinator is anxious to see what happens next.
“Yes, obviously, in this game, they had some stringent assignments against this quarterback and these recipients,” said Fangio. “But I think this is a good experience for both of them and hopefully they will come back.
“Obviously, Kelly throwed more balls than Adorie, but I think it’s great and we will see how much they can grow.”
The bungalows played a role on Thursday night, so it was a good test for the two Cornerbacks fighting for the initial job. But none of them played very well and there is an opportunity that newcomer Jacorian Bennett can make his way to this competition.
According to Football Fox here, take a look at Rango and Jackson statistics in coverage against bungalows:
Kelly Rango: 4 goals, 4 catches, 79 yards, 1 TD
Adorie ‘Jackson: 5 targets, 4 catches, 45 yards
The fastest game of the game happened when Rango left Jamr Chase in the first quarter’s 36 -yard touchdown.
“Yes, to deal with it,” said Fangio. “I am not worried that this boy grabbed the ball on him. I am worried that he did not deal with it and realized where he was in the field, use it, realize who he is going against. All these are the things you have to act in a million and do not work with it.”
On the play, Fangio called the Core 0 without any safety assistance, which looked like an unusual call against the team and the recipient.
It turns out, that was the purpose.
“Yes, there are many times in the prediction where you call for the purpose of diagnosis, while a real game during the season, you are calling things to help your boys,” said Fango. “But during the preview, many times you are calling for a good diagnosis of everyone.”
On Saturday, Fungio pointed out that when the Eagles played a bungal in the regular season of 2024, he did not call the Corps 0 for some reason. But he thought it was a good opportunity to put some pressure on his corner of the diagnosis.
On Thursday, Rango did not capture the play well, but Fangu is hoping that Rango will learn from it. It is worth noting that Rango, in the first practice on Saturday, returned with the starting practice.
This Cornerback War is still a long journey.
