Hogs Haven on Eli Stowers

Stowers' tentative blocking approach and lack of play strength concern.

Eagles tight end Eli Stowers' willingness in blocking concerns Jaylin Lane Jonny Page. Stowers looks like he has a total lack of play strength and knows it. On a rep where he was responsible for kicking out the edge defender, he slows down before contact and allows the defender to initiate the collision, getting driven back into the intended running lane. Stowers approaches the collision tentatively, loses all momentum, and gives himself no chance to create power—a rep that goes beyond imperfect technique and suggests he may not be ready for regular-season blocking assignments at his current skill set.
