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.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
