Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread

Their D is legit. We have to mix it up - run, run, 3rd and long won't cut it.

One area to gain an advantage.. eagles have lost one fumble all season, while we have been forcing them left and right with 10 on the year. If we win the turnover battle we have a good shot

I did not know that. Nice stat plug.

Jordan reed not practicing today.
Looking kinda iffy for Sunday.

Sadly the blueprint to really hurt our D was exposed week one and never foxed IMO.... running between the tackles and the SCREEN game..... 2 things the eagles USE TO HELP THEIR rookie qb. Who we rarely beat by the way, rookie qbs, so, im not excited. I don't think we will outscheme them on EITHER side of the ball. And i think we might get whooped, or just fall short of a comeback but i dont expect the coaches AT ALL, to put us in a winning position this week. Sorry... cuz i HATE THE FUCKIN EAGLES MANNNNN - "THE DUDE"

Luckily, their center and guards are just OK. I read that we started shifting some people around on the DL and it had some good success versus the starting lineup we had against Baltimore. I know Baker doesn't like NT, but they said he played a few snaps and was a BEAST. Ionnidis commanded some double teams too.

Damn, 6 concussions for Reed? probably time to hang it up, this game is not worth the damage that's doing to him

Philadelphia Eagles | Injury Report (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/injury-report.html)

However, you need not worry about Cox’s status for this Sunday’s game against Washington. The Eagles’ All-Pro defensive tackle will be playing at FedEx Field. Doug Pederson said this morning that Cox’s absence from practice was to be expected, and was largely precautionary.

Cox has 11 tackles, four sacks, and one forced fumble in four games this season. He’s been nothing short of Pro Bowl-worthy so far; having him for Sunday, the Eagles’ first divisional game of the season, is big.

Pederson said McKelvin and Braman will also be ready for Sunday’s game.

How are the Eagles this healthy? They have 0 players on IR and will have 0 players from the 53 man roster missing sundays game (except ped boy lane).

How is that possible? Wow.

Also, did you know our defense has not given up a 2nd half touchdown for 3 games now? I didnt know that. Thats pretty good second half adjustment by our pinata boy Barry and Fewell and co. Of course that stat coincides with our 3 game win streak coming against 2 winning teams. Which is nice. A lil win streak in the first half of a season is always a welcome guest.

Our 3rd down defense has to improve and I think they kept the Ravens to a conversion rate of 3/15 or something like that. Thats a start. Id like more of that please.

Great point.

I also think Joe Barry is a "young" coach, he just had two seasons as D coord, back in 07-08, and we're seeing him progress already. Against the ravens I'd say he adapted way better than the first 4 weeks, well, better gameplan for sure!
With time he might become a very good coach, I already feel like this D is looking happy to play for him, more hungry than previous years!

Yeah he's a stud but he can never stay healthy

The Eagles do have lousy WRs, that's why Doug brought back the good old Andy Reid horizontal passing game. The biggest threat we have to worry about is Darren Sproles on screens and wheel routes.

They'll try to get us running side to side and then occasionally try to surprise us with a deep throw.

I think Norman and Breeland put them on lock. Whitner playing a lot more this week I'm going to guess, I think he helps shore up some of the poor angles in the secondary and helps limit Sproles and Ryan Mathews. And without Lane Johnson, I don't necessarily think we have a field day with getting to Wentz, but I don't think they'll be able to run to that side very well. The rookie playing RT is supposed to be a decent pass protector, but where he'll struggle is run blocking.

However, if we have to miss Jordan Reed that will hurt us quite a bit. They'll shade deep to cover Jackson and we won't have the same threat in the middle. And it's not in our hands as to whether Reed plays, the concussion protocol means the independent neurologist has all the say there. We'd just have to hope Crowder can threaten the middle of the field enough, and that we can gash the wide-9 with Matt Jones.

Even matchup. We'll get up for this game, for sure. It's a division game against a team with a 0.5 game lead on us. It doesn't get any bigger. This probably comes down to whether Cousins takes care of the ball or not.
