Lane Johnson Pulls No Punches as He Reveals Just How Struggling the Eagles’ Offense and Run Game Really Are

If there is anyone who is going to tell it exactly how it is on the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s longtime starting right tackle Lane Johnson.

Following the Eagles’ shocking 34-17 loss to the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football, Johnson got brutally honest with the media with how he felt about the offense.

“Yeah, there’s flashes but flashes don’t score points,” Johnson said. “It’s about consistency, it’s about once a big play hits, let’s keep going until we finish. We have spurts but nothing consistent enough.”

Eagles Are Looking Way Too Predictable

Johnson added that while the Eagles have plenty of offensive weapons, they’re not performing up to their potential, and not to mention that their once-dominant 2024 run game has completely fallen apart.

“A lot,” Johnson said of what is wrong with the Eagles’ run game. “I don’t know. I feel like I don’t know if we’re predictable but it seems a lot harder than it needs to be. Maybe moving forward, just have a little more variety, hitting the perimeter some and doing a little bit more of that.”

However, it’s not just the offense that is struggling. The Eagles are looking unsteady across all three phases. Johnson noted that the team can practice and game plan all they want but if players don’t know how to adjust come the real thing, then they won’t succeed.

Despite how ugly the Eagles are playing right now, Johnson remains confident in his team to turn things around, starting after the long weekend.

“It’s frustrating, but we have a lot of season ahead of us,” Johnson said. “Confident with the guys in this room and how we work to get it fixed and to make games not so hard on ourselves, make it more fluid. I feel like we’ve been very stagnant offensively. We put the defense in a bind really the last two, three weeks. It’s frustrating, but as professionals, we got to try to fix it.”
