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

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?

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.

    • I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though   
    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
