Mundt was involved in multiple protection breakdowns. On one play, he held the linebacker after getting beaten around the edge, and while the hold bought McKee the extra moment needed to make the throw, the penalty came back and the source notes Mundt's hold was a symptom of a larger protection problem. Later, Mundt was sacked almost immediately on a play with five rushers and seven players protecting, and the source notes he looked clueless every time he was out there. Mundt struggled badly in pass protection assignments throughout the game.

Tight end committed a holding penalty on a play where he was beaten around the edge by a linebacker. The source states: 'Except Johnny Mundt holds the linebacker after getting beaten around the edge, and the play comes back. Mundt's hold buys McKee the extra moment he needs to make the throw.' While the hold allowed McKee to complete a beautiful throw to Darius Cooper, the Eagles cannot keep calling an offense that needs its blockers to hold just to give the quarterback enough time to execute it. This illustrates the systemic protection problems in the offense.

The Eagles should use Johnny Mundt on the move across the formation, getting into space and finding second-level defenders, not as a static inline mauler. The perception of him as a massive inline mauler has never matched the player on film; he is around 245 pounds and far more impressive when mobile. When leading on the edge and executing assignments well, as he did against the Titans, he unlocks explosive plays. Asking him to repeatedly kick out defensive ends from a static alignment doesn't play to his strengths.

Demonstrated excellent edge control on outside-zone runs, allowing Barkley to press the run before getting outside; however, his presence on the field creates predictability concerns for the Eagles' offense; the source notes that Mundt must find ways to get involved as a receiver to add unpredictability; his blocking is valuable given that the Eagles lack big receivers like Makai Lemon and DeVonta Smith who can consistently move defenders from condensed formations.
