Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon

Lemon's -5 yards on 4 targets in Week 1; ineffective designed plays hurting Eagles.

Between preseason and Week 1, Lemon has been targeted nine times for negative two yards total. In Week 1 specifically, he had 4 targets for -5 yards and -0.97 EPA/target, costing the Eagles almost a full expected point per target. The source criticizes the Eagles' designed touches near the line of scrimmage as ineffective in practice, preseason, and Week 1, and argues the team should rotate in alternatives like Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown, or Elijah Moore rather than forcing the issue with the first-round pick.
