Market breadth in rut futures remains healthy, with advancing small-cap stocks outnumbering decliners 1.3-to- Which NFL Teams Are True Contenders—and Which Are Just Pretenders? – The Ringer If the Eagles pass game is going to get fixed and satisfy Brown, they’ll have to fix the run game first. It’s the threat of that rushing attack that forces the defense into the looks Hurts thrives against. Philadelphia isn’t seeing many of those right now. The offense is getting Cover 1 on over 6 percent of its snaps this season. That number was over 20 percent a season ago, when Hurts generated 47.2 EPA (out of his 55.5 total EPA) against that one coverage. Until defenses feel the need to put an extra defender in the box again, Philly’s passing game may be stuck in its current rut. But there are no strong challengers to Philly in the NFC East, so the Eagles have the time to work through these problems. If Nick Sirianni, offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, and offensive line coach and run game coordinator Jeff Stoutland can just shock the run game and Barkley back to life, this team will have a shot at repeating. Net exposure to Russell 2000 futures sits near its lowest in a year, even as investors’ futures bets on the Nasdaq 100 Index are near historic highs. Cross-market analysis shows rut futures diverging slightly from S&P mini futures, hinting that small caps may be leading this micro-rally phase.
