Eagles Film Review: Ty Robinson plays like a wrecking ball

With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some movie rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I’ll attempt to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the following few weeks. A great deal of scouting stories will say very comparable issues, so I’ve tried to incorporate movie clips to again up all the pieces and I’ll discuss in regards to the participant’s match with the Eagles on the finish of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for a number of rookies, however I can’t share these clips on my Twitter accounts (or I danger getting blocked), so I’ve used a couple of different accounts right here. Let’s go!

You may try my podcast feed right here to listen to extra from me. I’ve a Patreon linked to my podcast if you wish to assist me additional. Attributable to being unable to share All22 on Twitter, I’m doing All22 watch-alongs on each Eagles’ rookie on the Patreon, which is basically cool!

Strengths

+ He performs exhausting each snap and has a loopy high-motor. A number of of his sacks come from not giving up and persevering with to get after the quarterback. He has a relentless power to separate by means of gaps and bulldoze his manner by means of. It doesn’t all the time look fairly, nevertheless it’s efficient.

+ When he performs with good leverage he has a extremely robust anchor and will be exhausting to maneuver. Holds his floor nicely with heavy fingers and good block recognition. His expertise taking part in as a nostril sort out will assist him develop long-term, even when this isn’t the place he finally ends up taking part in.

+ Can play a number of spots (nostril, 3-tech, 4i) and matches quite a lot of fronts. Activate the Ohio State movie and after 10 minutes, you will have already seen him in a number of completely different positions. Should you take a look at all his sacks right here, you may see him lining up in quite a lot of positions.

+ He has developed a number of efficient go rush strikes (swipe, membership/swim) and he has extremely bodily and aggressive fingers. If you watch him play you discover how robust his fingers are. His swipe transfer is used incessantly.

+ Ankle flexibility and bend are tremendous spectacular. He can bend sufficient to complete the play after getting early stress.

+ From all the pieces I’ve learn, he’s a workforce captain, revered chief, and recognized for being coachable and detail-focused.

+ He examined very nicely on the NFL Mix, displaying higher athleticism than anticipated. The numbers leap out.

+ He’s excellent at shifting laterally and stopping the run (particularly exterior zone runs). He does an important job staying sq. to the LOS while shifting laterally and discovering the ball provider. You see this precise play in his movie, loads!

Weaknesses

– He doesn’t all the time present quickness or explosiveness in video games, regardless of excellent testing numbers. I don’t see the identical athlete on movie as he examined on a per-snap foundation. He has flashes, however it’s inconsistent.

– He can play too upright and subsequently loses leverage and steadiness, making it simpler for blockers to manage him.

– He doesn’t have nice arm size, and he can battle towards longer blockers and get outreached when making an attempt to shed blocks. He lacks a counter when his go-to transfer (the membership) doesn’t work.

– He finally ends up on the bottom just a little too usually for my liking. A few of his reps generally is a bit all-or-nothing, and he might need to do a greater job of staying on his ft to maintain the quarterback within the pocket, somewhat than permitting him an avenue to flee.

– He’ll flip 24 as a rookie so he could also be maxed out already.

Total

I hated the Ty Robinson choose when it occurred. This has nothing to do with the participant … however I scouted 15 defensive tackles pre-draft and Ty Robinson was quantity 16 on my record! You couldn’t make it up. After getting over my preliminary annoyance, Robinson was the participant I used to be fascinated to observe. I believe he’s probably the most enjoyable participant I’ve watched that the Eagles drafted. The movie is hilarious. He’s relentless and performs like a wrecking ball.

Robinson isn’t a flashy athlete and I didn’t see the explosiveness and energy on movie that made me assume this man goes to be an impressive starter, which is to be anticipated within the 4th spherical! Nevertheless, he’s a constant, versatile defensive lineman who will give the Eagles somebody who can play in a rotation instantly. I’m undecided he has the bodily traits ever to grow to be a high-level starter (particularly contemplating his age, he’s 24 years outdated), however I really feel fairly satisfied that he may have a task as a rookie and play nicely. I believe he can play on early downs, be good towards the run, and get after the quarterback.

The Eagles usually attain for the celebrities and shoot for upside on day 3. This choose feels a bit extra of a protected possibility, after dropping Milton Williams in free company. The Eagles wanted somebody to contribute instantly. Ty Robinson ought to have the ability to do that. I would not be shocked if he had been trusted to take the Moro Ojomo function whereas Ojomo stepped up into the Milton Williams function. Good groups can’t afford to maintain everybody round, and this workforce wanted somebody to step in and play. He’s not more likely to be a star, however Robinson needs to be a reliable function participant for years. He’s going to be a enjoyable participant to observe, I promise you! The power is relentless.
