Klein is a MLB and a liability at OLB, Glanton played well last year , but hasn't been called up. Eagles speed on offense is a concern. So do they find ways to use Colin Jones to compensate for lack of speed and coverage ability with Klein. Bad time to lose Shaq. Will they mix up the defensive schemes to have our fastest and best coverage guys on the field or stay with Klein at OLB?

Depends what package we are in.  Eagle don't ground and pound so we likely won't have 3 LBs on the field all game even if Shaq was healthy.

Eagles run a lot of formations that would require us to bring in a DB anyway.

We'll just run more nickel.  May see some of the buffalo nickel too.

expecting more from the safeties doesn't sound like a good idea.   I think true nickel is the way to go.

Also, Roman Harper was already on every teams radar.  Dude is gonna be THE  game plan for teams until we make a change IMO.   Philly has some TEs that can run too.

So the Ertz/Matthews matchups are big.

We'll play with Colin Jones in the buffalo nickel package. Extra safety/linebacker. He's one of the fastest, maybe the fastest on the team.

Yep.  Same defense we played down the stretch last year.  We'll be alright.  Just thankful Shaq's injury wasn't season ending

      Nussmeier shows all the qualities, but has a really bad game here and there. Sellers is raw, we will see how things play out.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By frankw · Posted

      Well let's be realistic here. He could have taken one look at Bryce Young on tape and known what he was getting. As JackieLee stated his work with QB's like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield is a big contributing factor in why he was hired. At the same time we also have to recognize other factors. Seemingly and realistically he was the only one seriously considering the job. And as far as "fixing" Bryce Young goes one entire staff has already gotten the axe over him. Frank Reich was vilified as possibly the worst head coaching hire ever. 2 years later the more we see of Bryce the more it looks like he was the problem. Right now we are at a true crossroads. We cannot just play out the season with Young and be a serious franchise. We have to try and see what we have in the young roster and firmly get some sort of look at Canales offense. At this point Dave Canales needs to earn the right to draft his own QB. So far he has developed bupkis at the most important position. And he and Dan Morgan made the decision to not give Bryce Young one iota of competition for the third year in a row. He cannot claim the cupboards are bare beyond his control.
