I was hesitant at first, as the Eagles match up extremely well to our strengths, but I still thought there was the chance of a win. With Lane Johnson out, and Fletcher Cox not healthy, this swings the advantage to us, especially on a short week in our house. Make no mistake, Carson Wentz is elite, but if we blitz his right side the entire game, run the ball down their throats, and use the size outside to our advantage, we will win.

 

Carolina - 31

Philadelphia - 24 

Cam Newton - 250 yards, 2 tds, 65 rush yards 
Jonathan Stewart/CMac - 85 rush yards, 70 yards receiving, 2 tds

Maybe you didn’t watch last week but we would’ve struggled to run against a CFL team.

Ironically, the Lions literally followed their game-plan: focus on the run, not the pass.

That killed them. We couldn't run (as expected), but they couldn't defend the pass. Cam easily picked off their zone for the win.

And if it rains tonight and the Eagles primary focus becomes stop the run at all costs?

Looks like less than 20% of it happening according to weather.com

Nice

Back in the day with Delhomme and double trouble... yep give me rain every Sunday but not with Cam and especially not with the way he’s been throwing the ball the last two weeks

Add in the weather and if this becomes a battle of the run games, we’re in serious trouble 

Got to hope for no rain

Rain isn’t supposed to start till the 3rd quarter. We’ll be fine

Cam will not have 65 rushing yards. He might have 10.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
