What is the Eagles D-line rank? We sure as hell looked awesome out there. I totally loved the QBKs to get the 1 yarders. That was amazing too. Who was the genius that finally started calling that and where has he been all year?

How about that run D!

Re: How about that run game!!
 

PHI rushing defense was #10 in the NFL at around 104 per game this year. This finesse Saints offense put a 180 yard rushing burger on them in their house. Finesse nearly doubled their defensive average and finesse was holding the #1 ranked rushing offense in the NFL to 80 yards.

Am I using the term "finesse" correctly?

Even if we average 3 YPC, running the ball 20+ times is what we need to do against Seattle. We need to get an effective play action game going to beat them. Hopefully we continue to emphasize the running game.

Had nothing to do with Ingram's increased carries.
He had a couple of +5, +7 runs all in the first half.
It was more of Sean Payton's commitment to the run.
The O-line was ready and executed the run game plan.
What the he11 took so long?
And it only happens when the stage is set early.
Put the defense on their heels, make the LB's play honest,
and give Brees and extra 1.5 seconds of pocket time.
Let's do it again next week. hopefully PT will be back.
A run game, plus screens, plus Sproles, then Brees can light it up.
Excelent win.
I love it!

it felt good seeing a ground game like that. that was supposed to be philly's better phase of the defense. im pretty sure they were middle of the pack this year agains the run.

i believe seattle is also a middle of the pack rush defense. this could be a very similar offensive game plan against seattle.

Re: How about that run game!!
 

Eagles were 10th against the run and 32 against the pass.
Seattle is 7th against the run and 1st against the pass.

thanks, halo. sometimes i just dont feel like lookin stuff up. haha.

Re: How about that run game!!
 

If we have success certainly. Please keep in mind that Philly has weak Safeties and their backend is overall weak, so they game planned to stop our pass. Because of their weak safeties and backend they could not contain both. I am just trying to be honest when I say temper your expectation for similar success against a much better defense in Seattle
