Great read that explains and breaks down EVERYTHING! In 2013 season, the Eagles asked quarterback Nick Foles to throw the ball 317 times. He did so behind a very good offensive line. And still, Foles was sack 28 times. In 2014 so far, the Eagles have asked Foles to throw the ball 299 times. Despite playing behind an offensive line that has yet to have the same five players in three consecutive weeks, he has done so virtually sack free. Is this a strategy to minimize the wear and tear on the quarterback? Didn’t we hear last year how important it was to “throw that ball away”? With 299 pass attempts, Foles is conceivably “throwing it away” about 2 times per game. In comparison, that same Foles in 2013 was getting sacked about three times a game. Finally, Foles is throwing an interception about one time per game.
