Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon

Lemon's 10 targets for 12 yards shows Eagles' ineffective usage despite encouraging catch.

Lemon had a legitimately encouraging 14-yard catch and made a tackle on Hurts' first interception, but the Eagles continue to use him on designed touches that aren't fooling the defense. He was thrown another backwards pass that counted as a five-yard rushing loss. Including the preseason, Lemon is now at 10 targets for 12 receiving yards (or 11 targets for seven receiving yards if the backwards pass is counted as a passing target). The current approach with Lemon isn't working.
