A question and comment about Eagles run defense

[erich1r]

what type of run defense does the eagles have. WE should play all three backs this week. What does the the rest of you think

They're currently ranked 12th in the league in ypg but give up only 3.7 ypc which is tied for 6th. Their penetrating style has always been a weakness for our Oline and Barber. I believe this is a game we should get Felix more involved and Choice a few carries as well.


Our RBs and Martellus should be more involved in the screen game though. To use some of their aggressiveness against them.

It doesn't matter what many think, Garrett will continue to pass 50 times a game...:

As most fans would say (at least those that have a clue), we need to use our running game and I mean all 3 backs. We need to use a lot of screens and our TEs to slow down the pass rush. Quick slants as well. Like someone else posted, we need to use their aggressiveness against them. It's not hard to do. Well, it's not hard to try at least. Hopefully our coaching staff is smart enough to realize this.
