Greetings from BGN

The redskins did very well keeping the ball out of the hands of Jackson and Maclin by making it hard for Kolb to throw to them. Also the eagles held Santana Moss to 0 receiving yards…due to double covering.

Double cover the two of them, run a Cover-2, and make sure there are a couple of safeties playing deep. That was the defensive gameplan for the Redskins a week ago and they manage to cover Jackson and Maclin well – they had a combined 4 catches for 34 yards.

Also, put pressure on Kolb/Vick and make them check down. Best way of getting rid of a receiver is making the QB have a bad day.

Same way they has been utilizing McCoy all season long: some screen passes, couple of delay routes toward middle of the field, and give him about 15-20 carries in the game.

Yes he can. McCoy is averaging 5.4 yards per carries. That is also with an offensive line that been inconsistence, at best, at run blocking. Of course, if McCoy get shut down in passing game, Andy Reid will probably turn to more passing plays before giving McCoy some extra carries.

Other option at running back? Number two back is Mike Bell, he was a Saints last couple of years. How good is he? Well, if you guys want him, all I’m asking for is a pack of gum. Third back is Eldra Buckley, bad runner but good special teams guy. The fourth guy is Joique Bell, an undrafted rookie that Eagles sign off of Bills’ practice squad a week or two ago. He has yet to get a carry as an Eagle.

Still like to blitz, but McDermott is trying to outsmart himself. He likes sending Trent Cole or Brandon Graham, couple of ends, out to play zone/cover receivers. Stupidity alert. So yeah, if you see Cole on Roddy White, thank McDermott.

He played good. Did everything he was asked to do, and more. 68 completion percentage, 8.2 YPA, 250 yards, TD. He isn’t a liability.

What’s wrong with Dunlap? Uh…he sucks. Badly. No effort, no work ethics, nada. Will he be abused? Assuming Peters can go, YES. I can abuse him and I’m 140 pounds. He NEEDS to be replaced. I’d rather have Austin Howard, an undrafted rookie tackle, over Dunlap.

Eagles don’t play the Cowboys until December. That is a long time resting for one team. That said, he probably shouldn’t play this week and make sure the ribs heal fully.

That, and I want to see if Kolb can put back-to-back good starts, with him being the Eagles’ future QB and all.

It hurt the Eagles’ run D, which is Brodrick Bunkley’s main strength. And the run D hasn’t always been pretty this year.

Probably Trevor Laws fills the void. He guy Eagles fan has been roasting up until training camp this year and now finally gets his chance to prove he was worth picking before DeSean Jackson.

But he is just now starting to show that he might have been worth the pick
He had a good game at SF and he had a good camp

Don’t know anything specific about what Eagles are going to do, besides call some run blitzes. Yes, they have a solid front 7 that can stop the run, but they played so inconsistent in the season that I don’t know if Falcons are going to have 50 rushing yards or 150 rushing yards.

Nothing negative really. Kolb starts off slow, lose his job to Vick after a concussion, Vick plays good, Vick gets injured, Kolb almost brought Eagles to a win, then have a good game against 49ers. And there isn’t anything in the lockerroom that suggest a rift, I mean, Vick and Kolb has been friends before and after Vick starting. They were chatting it up all day long during the Jaguars game.

Kolb is more than likely the starter next season. Both has good games so far in the season, while Kolb is sign through 2011 and Vick’s contract is up after this season.

During the Redskins game, yes. Kolb was doing nothing but checking down. Granted, receivers were covered pretty well, but Kolb failed to attempt a deep pass. After that, though, Kolb wasn’t checking down too quickly during the 49ers. Only time he checked down was when no one was open or his o-line collapsed and was about to get killed.

No. Biggest thing that people harp on Kolb is his arm strength, mostly because he can’t throw it past 40 yards down the field. So far, Kolb hasn’t been hitting deep passes consistently.

Generally, it’s 1.A and 1.B with Cowboys and Giants that Eagles fan hate the most, then the Redskins since they’re in the division and they always play the Eagles tough. After that, no other team really sticks out that Eagles fan, in general, hate.

Geez, thanks.

7. I’m a homer and I think Eagles can win every game, but I know Falcons are tough. Should be a good game as least.

but in their division they are definitely still in it, just beat the div foes and in the playoffs probably. And yes, the game WILL be in Atlanta. lol

Yes, he is well liked over at BGN. Unfortunately, he had a concussion during the Redskins game so he won’t be seen for a while.
