Who replaces Shaq since he is likely to miss this week

They said Klein was a full participant today, so he'll probably be ready Sunday.  However, I don't think we'll see much of the 3rd LB in this game.  It was noted the other night, that Philly has only ran the ball 35% of their snaps.  We'll likely see a very heavy dose of the nickel/buffalo packages Sunday night, with Bene and Jones.  With the way they run side-to-side anyway, I don't see them doing too much against our front 7 in their run game.  Sproles on those swing passes in the backfield, does worry me a bit.  TD and Kuechly are fast, but he gets to the sideline in a nanosecond.  He's always hurt us with that play.

I'd prefer to run more nickel based on Philly's style of offense.

Yep. We'll be in nickel all game. Philly doesn't even have a FB on its roster and uses 11(1 RB, 1 TE) or 10(1 RB, 0 TE) personnel 99% of the time.

Bene is his "replacement" and this is probably the perfect game for him to miss unless people are thinking we would be pulling TD or Luke off the field for Shaq. Outside of special teams I wouldn't expect Klein to see the field either.

Seems Sproles is being used sparingly due to Murray and Matthews getting the bulk of the work.  By the way the Eagles ran the ball 31 times against the Giants.

Sproles was surely a huge pain when he played for the Saints.  I hope he won't be a factor this Sunday.

    • Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.      
    • Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then. 
    • Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
