Eagle practice info

[Hawkeye19]

I wouldn't underestimate the impact on the Iggs losing Brooks as the slot CB. That will bring Jenkins down into that role. That will open things up more for Dez and Witten.

Right, Taylor Hart, who played for them under Chip Kelly.

Right now, it is him along with Destiny Vaeao with Fletcher Cox and Beau Allen starting. Makes things much easier if Logan is out. Wear them out.

I have not seen that they are officially ruling Logan out. If so, like I said, huge.

Even if he plays he's still not 100% which is still helpful

 

[Idgit]

Logan's in week 2 of a week to week soft tissue injury. They're not going to say it before they have to, but he's not playing, and if he is, he's going to be compromised anyway. It's a big boost.

 

[Risen Star]

Bennie Logan - no practice today, week to week
Ron Brooks - out
Kamu Grugier-Hill - no practice today, week to week

Lane Johnson - suspended

Carson Wentz - Crucified. Expected to participate in Saturday's morning's walkthrough.

 

[Risen Star]

Logan's not playing.

Yeah I actually think I want him to play. There's no way he can be 100%.

They got a guy named Destiny.

 

[Risen Star]

Ron Brooks is a CB. He's out.

Brandon Brooks is their OG and he's healthy.

G/S/M

Even if he plays it's not good. Groin injuries rob you of lateral quickness. If you cannot turn TFred, you aren't beating him.

It's big, yes. Especially if they plan to blitz like they did v. the Vikes. With our protection and a mobile QB, they're going to have to cover. And if they don't blitz, they better be able to hold up inside against the run.

This is going to be such a good game. It feels to me like that 3rd PHI game in 2009 where things are just lining up for the Cowboys to uncork a butt-whooping. Everything, including recent trends, seems to be pointing in our favor. But then you never know with the Eagles. It might easily be another 2014 Thanksgiving game that nobody really saw coming.

I never understood groin muscles usefulness in football until I strained one, for much of two weeks most football moves did not feel natural.

And from what one of their media guys was saying, Jenkins, while a good slot guy, is better at defending the bigger strong slot WRs and TEs out of the slot compared to smaller, quicker guys like a Beasley.

So they are taking away from his effectiveness as a good S to play him in the slot against a guy that might give him some trouble. And his replacement at S will be Watkins who would be a step down from Jenkins at S.

Malcolm Jenkins is such a good football player.

But losing Brooks for the year and putting Malcolm in the slot this week is going to hurt them matchup-wise, for sure. Good call.

 

[NextGenBoys]

If Logan does not play, it is huge. He has worked over Frederick a few times.

He has been such a thorn in our side. Really underrated.

Heh heh... nice to see them short-handed a bit after they tanked our season after hurting Romo in week 2 last year.

If Demarcus Lawrence is feeling good, he should have a field day.

Our CB's should be having a field day..............it's Wentz.

Threw two picks last week.

And to be honest, I have no clue as to how he thought he was going to deliver the ball, on a rope, to the intended receivers with the positioning of the DB's.

Had he got a little air under the ball...........may have been completions, IMO.

One thing to note. Wentz has gotten shaky with the ball the last two weeks because of pressure. In that Washington game, Kerrigan wreaked havoc on their OL and they hit Wentz a lot. Vikes didn't get any sacks last week but they did run some blitzes and stuff at him that had him making quicker throws than he wanted.

That's my one real fear this weekend. Wentz being given a lot of time. He's shown that with time, he can move the ball through the air. It's going to be interesting to see what Marinelli does. Will he try to get pressure on Wentz or could he throw something similar like the 3 man rush, drop 8 that had Rodgers of his game at Wentz?

I love how Marinelli is playing the corners tight this year. They're tackling well, too.

That does not bode well for Wentz.

Im getting the feeling that this could turn into a butt-whopping too. If the cowboys score early I think it goes that way.

Man to man jam them at the line. Only deep threat I fear is Sproles.
