Re: Eagles Next

ok this is the game to make some solid strides on both sides of the ball and get focused. falcons are next and we need this win, lets not make the final drive the winning drive and lets see if the saints can stop anyone in their two minute drill.

OL needs to step up, open up holes and protect Drew better
Rob needs to stay away from freaking zone in the final two minutes of the either half. idiot

Re: Eagles Next

We are catching them at the right time.
They've gone from NFC fav with GB down to a team that lost to the Redskins.
Get up early, and make some plays to slow down the offense

Re: Eagles Next

There is an opportunity here.
Living in the area I listen to the 2 Philly sports talk stations and the doubters (including grumbling from some players, like Murray) are not feeling Kelly's coaching.

Things to capitalize on:
1) The Eagles O line is a shambles. Pass protection is shoddy at best and they have not been able to open up the holes for a rushing attack. That leaves them heavily reliant on Bradford to get rid of the ball quickly. Our D could have a BIG day if they can get pressure.
2) The Eagles secondary is HIGHLY suspect. They paid big $$ for Maxwell who doesn't appear to be anything close to shut down in coverage. Can we PLEASE see some deep passes?
3) Their D against the rush is currently 20th, but every team has had success pounding the rock. Give it to Ingram and Spiller and let them grind them up!
4) Their WR's are weak. Their top receiver Jordan Matthews is rangy but a work in progress. Round them out with Riley Cooper (slow with suspect hands) and an aging Miles Austin and I believe our now healthy secondary can keep them out of play.

The key to most of this is whether our O line can keep Drew upright with time to spare in the pocket. If they give him a little more time than they did against Dallas, this is a winnable away game!

On a personal side note: PLEASE SHUT THESE IGGLES FANS UP!!!!! If they win, it's going to be a loooong week for me in Eagle Hell!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!

Re: Eagles Next

I have to disagree on WRs. They also have Agholor who is great young player. Problem is shaky QB play.

Agholor is a project. 7 receptions over 4 games for 100 yards (with one for 45) is not 'great'.

Bradford threw for 3 TD's and 307 yds with no TO's last week. He is legit.

Agholor is ready. 1st round talent, not project. Lack of rec is due to poor O-line which affects Bradford perfomance.

Re: Eagles Next

I am concerned about a couple of things. I am scared of a team that looks as dysfunctional as they do. We might be the nut this blind squirrel stumbles across.

I am scared of their front 7. They have a lot of playmakers and pass rushers and Streif, Lelito and nicked up Armstead concern me in pass protection. They are also relatively adept at covering the short passing game and being disruptive. I would feel much more confident with a downfield passing attack but Brees' shoulder limits that option. And of course Sproles and Matthews and limiting them.

I think this is a week we get alot of QB pressure and maybe force an INT but as said, they are a wounded animal backed in a corner with alot of quality veterans that don't like being embarrassed. We will see.

Re: Eagles Next

Agholor may have a break out, but it's doubtful. He has speed aplenty, but he tends to have too many drops. Sometimes, a first rounder does not equal NFL ready talent. I just hope he doesn't break form for this game! LOL

Yeah, I was thinking the same. lol

One thing is for sure, I don't want to see Browner 1 on 1 vs Agholor.

Re: Eagles Next

Against Philadelphia

Matthews so far is not looking that good, Marshall, Garcon, TWill, and Jones number 1 wideouts have all scored on him this season. This is Cooks chance to show that. However, this is probably the game Snead needs to get looks. In a road game like this Coleman does not have the mentality to stay focused in this game and Colston has lost crucial games. We need Snead! Can't throw to Watson either as eagles stop TEs.

Now for the running game, I'm concerned here. Ingram and Robinson are inconsistent. Ingram might have problems here because we have no passing game for them to focus on. We need Spiller involved ALOT. We might also have to call a lot of screens but not east west screens(that will be bad), but slot screens, like Spiller gets to run before making a catch.

The run defense has gotten better but this is three RBs we are dealing with. They will not shy away from the run no matter what. Bradford is not targeting Agholor enough and chances are Lewis will be guarding him anyway. I am not afraid of Josh Huff or Riley Cooper. Swann or Breaux need to contain Matthews. Then there is Ertz. I am expecting Sproles to do well and Matthews or Murray. The key is stopping Matthews and Ertz.

And Hocker better be getting ready for this because he will be attempting at least three field goals.
