Question....if its the Eagles..how do we prepare for that up tempo offense?

[Jmac]

I believe the Taints will fold like a cheap tent in the cold of Philly and that the birds will be here. My concern is that our defense will not get much practice with that kind of against our offense these next two weeks ( our offense is pretty slow moving and ponderous,far from up tempo),so it could be a challenge. Their running back is the kind of back that tends to give us fits. I remember back in the pre-season and they shredded us.....I know we didn't game plan and the D hadn't jelled yet. Do you think RR and MCD can meet the challenge? Can they kick our offense in the ass and get them to play up tempo to simulate what our D will face during practice?

[Mr. Scot]

Speedy practices.

 

It can indeed be simulated in a practice setting.

"I remember back in the preseason"...............stops reading

Maybe you should have read the entire post before assuming that I am using the preseason as a measuring stick.

Well chop that poo down to size. :) Carolina has a whole season worth of games to game plan on plus now this unit is BATTLE tested. Saints are better than Philly with a Legit quarterback who has playoff experience and we still beat the Saints. :) 

 

Panthers want this - Panthers will Get this  GO PANTHERS !!!

When Belichick was prepping to face the Rams in the Super Bowl, he allowed his receivers to line up with a two to three yard head start to help the defense get used to the speed of that team's attack.

 

There's always things you can do.  I'd say the fact that we faced them in preseason and got a look at what they were like would be a plus.

In all honesty they are battle tested and ready since the last few games.  Our offense was less then steller and the Defense was out there quite a bit each game, so I wouldn't think they would have a problem keeping up with the speed of the Eagles Offense.

Crowd noise, getting stops on 3rd down and turnovers... up-tempo offense is a double edged sword like Rivera said earlier in the year, if the Eagles can't maintain drives then it exposes their defense and our offense is well suited to take advantage of that and control the time of possession.

 

You can't run a high-octane up tempo offense from the sideline.

Stanford's offense beat Oregon's offense this season in CFB more than the Stanford defense shut down the Oregon offense.  Sustain your drives on offense, keep them off the field, control field position, and limit them to field goals instead of TDs.

 

Basically just keep doing what we have been doing.

 

You don't have to get to clever, if you can stop the run with the front 7 and rush the passer with the front 4 you don't need a lot of exotic defenses to stop this attack.  You have to win against your blocks and stay true to your assignments.

[Mr. Scot]

We've also seen the downside of the attack they run at times.

 

It can wear out their own defense just as much as it does yours.

The Cowboys defense held them to 24, after allowing 27ppg on the season. 

 

Is that comforting enough, or do you need more?

The question is "How is Foles going to handle constant penetration and the nickel blitz from his roll out side?"

[General_Purr]

Our offense needs to put up more than teen numbers. We need TDs.

 

SHOW ME YOUR TDS

Everytime Foles drops back to pass, they knock him on his ass.
