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

[PghPanther]

Everything I read about Foles says that under pressure he reads the first WR and then panics............we could really put the fear of God in that guy with our D line............

Philly was dead LAST in time of poss. Carolina around 5 or 6.

 

At first glance people will go oh Carolina has to keep what they are doing on offense to keep the ball away from the Eagles and that is partly true but consider this.

If Philly doesn't keep the ball that long, that means our d will not be on the field that much since Carolina also keeps the ball for a big chunk.

 

So something has to give. Maybe it will be the Eagles that need to chew more clock or risk a fresh and ferocious d that eats Foles for lunch.

Eagles are scary bc of Shady and Jackson. I personally think Shady is 1b. Petetson 1a. Quick speed backs are the ones I fear and Shady is the top of the ladder.

As far as Jackson.....we have stunk this year with guys with his downfield speed

We prepare for that offense by using our scout team to mimic their pace in practice. That's what the practice squad is for; they run plays in a style emulating that of the offense and defense we will be seeing that week so that the starters and backups can see the looks, get the proper fits/assignments and learn their checks.

 

At practice it's not our first team offense running against our first team defense. That happens in training camp. Game week prep is much different because we're not playing us, we're playing them.

This guy, and all of his friends, will be waiting to greet Nick Foles with that O-line Philly/Swiss cheese they have. Easy money.

Hate to break it to you but the intensity that you bring to a meaningless game is not close to the intensity of playoff game?

I'm just saying that because it is worrisome. We also laid an egg against the Saints as well and you see what happened there.

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

 

Is that comforting enough, or do you need more?

 

 

The cowgirls also had a second tier QB giving the Eagles decent field position throughout the game........just adding to your point.  KEEP POUNDING!

I'm more concerned with all the cut blocks we will see.

The eagles are a system team, stop mccoy and the first read

[Goondal]

Keep hitting Foles and control the clock.

[smitty_89]

pretty much just follow what the Saints did the 1st half of this game tonight...except the Saints are giving foles way too much time, i trust our front 4 will get a lot more pressure on him.

 

Shut down the run game and McCoy

Press coverage on the receivers, no free releases

Luke and Davis shutdown the screen game

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Well, that ends that question.
