| It all comes down to the Oline. McNabb has too many weapons now to not succeed, so long as he gets blocking. |
| |
|
| | | | | 105111.3 in reply to 105111.1 | |
| Yes. I think the Oline is getting healthy and starting to gel. They should only get better if they can stay healthy. |

| I started to see the JELLING that we have been waiting for. Peters & Herrians have better chemistry. Maybe because he can help Peters. Charecter is what you do when people arn't looking |

Peters still needs some 'catching up' for certain. Justice had a pretty good weak, considering what happened last time he played the Giants. |

I'm very concerned with the Eagles defense and this game. The girls are starting to jell on offense and they have tremendous speed coming out of the backfield which does not look good for our LB's covering these guys in the flats or on routes out of the backfield. Felix Jones is downright scary and Tashard Choice is good and quick. Lets not forget about Whitten and what TE's have been doing to the Eagles all year.
The Eagles MUST get pressure on Romo AND contain him. If not, it's going to be a long game for us.
If McNabb plays like he did against the Giants, we should have no problem with their defense but our D has to show up.
We can and should contain their WR's but their backs and TE worry me. |

| All true but their "O"line is easily confused. Some of the most overated lineman & one of the weakest "O"line coachest on any good team. We both have match up problems on "D" but we have the chance to make "BIG PLAYS" on "D" I don't believe they do. Charecter is what you do when people arn't looking |

Their one big play guy is Felix Jones. He can be very dangerous. This game is going to come down to who pressure's whose QB more. I'm banking on the Eagles.
Of course if Reid goes nuts and passes all the time, then all bets are off. |

Our backs block,
we have a T.E.(#82 Alex Smith) who can block now.
Our line is starting to gell.
We can leave in more help because Jackson, Westbrook or McCoy & Maclin WILL GET OPEN.
They can't pick up the blitzCharecter is what you do when people arn't looking |

There is promise there coach. I feel more confident that the guys expected to carry the torch into the future will be able to deliver. Guys like DJax, Maclin, McCoy and even Kolb. The offensive line is playing better ball with Herremans back. I'm still watching Sean McDermott and noting how well he transitions the team from the JJ defensive approach. I like that he's brought in Antonio Dixon to plug up the middle. JJ didn't use big bodies at DT. I like Jason Babin at LDE over Abiamiri; notice that last Sunday they were able to get pressure without blitzing from 4 and sometime 3 linemen rushing. I think Babin has a lot to do with that; the combination of Sean Jones, M. Harris AND Q. Demps at FS depending upon the situation. Sean Jones, in particular, gives them a mature presense that they've lacked without Dawk. I like that they've discovered Weaver and even beyond his 41 yard TD run, he averaged 3.4 per rush which set them up nicely for 3rd downs. AND AR STUCK WITH IT. I feel better about AR's overall approach to fielding a winner. That they are going to do whatever it takes to do so and that they aren't going to be afraid to step on some egos to field a winner. |

I think McDermott needed on field help. I think trott was his first try & Witherspoon & Sean Jones finally got it done. I really want to see the "O" Line & "D" vs. Cowboys. I will watch the game 2 or 3 times after I go and get into some deap detail. This game has many matchups that will show were we are at.
Don't get me wrong I still think this team is on the rise no matter what. The Giants game was no fluke.Charecter is what you do when people arn't looking |

The key with me is how well they match up with teams physically. If they are getting pushed around, then it's going to be a long evening. If they are controlling the line of scrimmage, then they should handle dallas and put Romo in a lot of duress. Bunkley, DJax and Asante are playing at a probowl level right now. |

Jamaal might be the MVP of the Eagle's offensive line simply because he's be healthy throughout. I don't get to reveiw the game film as you have. I can only go by what I see from watching highlights on NFL.com and PE.COM Jackson isn't a household name so Bird fans would have to stuff the ballots. |

depends on which team shows up duno which mcnabb will show up. the one which takes control of the offense, makes the plays, or the one who cant make a simple pass.
which O line will show up? the one vs the raiders or the one vs the giants? which defense will show up? the one that couldnt sniff brees, or the one that harassed eli all day> " Civilazation exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." {Will Durant} |

Gosh, I hope your right. We really need to first stop the run and of course, pressure Romo.
Another thing, we have to tackle! We can't keep missing tackles like in previous games. Their wide outs are good but if we miss tackles, we will make them look like All Pro's when they take it to the house. |

One thing to anticipate is that the Birds should get better with each game. If they continue the trends that we've been seeing recently, that's a good thing because there is such a young group assimilated into the mix this year. |

From one Chuck to another...
The Raiders thing is over blown imo. The Raiders blitzed so much in that game and hadnt done that before, so there was no tape to watch. As for the Raiders... Why wouldnt they continue doing that? That was easily the best game they had in years on D! Guess thats why they are the Raiders. I've come to the realization that I know much less than previously thought! |
