Eagles' Hitch Route Obsession Hurting Offense
Update: 2025-11-19
Description
The Philadelphia Eagles offensive strategy, heavily reliant on the hitch route, is causing frustration among fans. Despite having star players, the teams style of play is deemed boring and ineffective. Saquon Barkley and A.J. Browns performances are underwhelming, with Barkley averaging less than four yards per carry and Browns future with the team uncertain. The teams heavy use of the hitch route, with Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith among the top three in the league, is making the offense predictable and easy to defend. While this approach has helped avoid turnovers, it has also made the offense stagnant, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of this strategy.
