Skins vs Eagles - Gameday Thread

From Rich Tandler

There is some concern about Lichtensteiger (groin) being able to play. He’s working on some lateral moves on the far end of the field.

Foles and their offense isn't about engineering drives (that more describes us), they need the big plays to make their offense go. Part of why they do better in the second half, defenses are a split second slower, and they can have fresher legs out of Sproles and McCoy.

Put it this way, the Eagles had 23 minutes TOP last week and still won. That wasn't due to sustained drives, but because of 3 or 4 gash plays. I firmly believe that if Foles is forced to make 12-14 play drives, we win this going away.

Yeah, good points. To refine my previous point, we've really been hurt by giving up 1 or 2 big plays. Hopefully, the removal of Rambo will alleviate that somewhat.

I guess the contingency plan would be to put Chester at center and bring long at guard?

@richtandlercsn RG3 did not make the trip to Philly with the #Redskins. Assume it was better for him to continue his rehab at home/Redskins Park.

That's a little surprising. It isn't like he had to fly across the country. Let's hope that rehab is going well.

Living 45 minutes outside of Philly, these are the games I love. Merriweather, Robinson, Morris, and Roberts all with big games. I think capt. Kirk will command the offense and really start making a qb controversy even more of a discussion.

We almost lost our backup QB running out onto the field. :doh:

Rak needs to find a way to get pressure against a stud tackle.
