Rex Ryan Rips 'Hot Garbage' Eagles Unit After Gutting Week 4 Loss to Rams

Former head coach Rex Ryan bashed a part of the Philadelphia Eagles offense after Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams handed the Philadelphia Eagles a 24-20 loss on Sunday, with the Eagles failing to score in the second half of their game at Lincoln Financial Field. The defense allowed Matthew Stafford and his teammates to move the ball for a combined 177 yards on two touchdown drives, while Philadelphia's offense went scoreless in the second half.

Their offensive line allowed four sacks, leading former NFL head coach Rex Ryan to criticize their offensive line on Monday's Get Up. Ryan stated that the Eagles' offensive line is "absolutely hot garbage right now" and that neither Landon Dickerson nor Lane Johnson will be able to return to form. The Eagles failed to convert any of their 12 third-down attempts and succeeded on only one of four fourth-down tries.

The Rams capitalized on several opportunities, including stuffing a Tush Push on 4th-and-1. Philadelphia began Week 4 without key players DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley, who exited with a hamstring injury. Ryan remains primarily concerned by the Eagles' performance in the trenches, stating that the offensive line is the biggest issue facing the team.
