CFZ Eagles strengths and weaknesses

[AbeBeta]

When it becomes a big enough pool of teams, you can just separate them into 2 groups, like this:

Yeah. Compare that to any QB.

I hate when people use statistics stupidly.

 

[MRV52]

The Eagles are the worst 7 and 1 team. They could easily be 3 and 4. They have been lucky and definitely not the team of a year ago. On Sunday they are going to get exposed. We match up with them and Dak is their daddy. That secondary as long as Dak has time will be exposed.

Wow, it’s almost like good teams are harder to beat. Ground breaking.

Hey being lucky has definite benefits & good teams tend to get lucky.

I'm stoked for this game. After that SF thrashing I need something to regenerate my faith.

 

[Blackrain]

This is certainly a big game and we have an opportunity to add tremendous confidence to our locker room.
With the way the niners are playing a win here would definitely help us be contenders rather than pretenders.

But it's not going to happen unless all three facets of the team are producing a bad game in any area is going to lead to a loss in their house.

We are going to need some plays from defense and special teams like we had in the Rams game.
We need a lead early so we can work to our strength and let the pass rush loose having to defend the run is not our strong suit

 

[Coogiguy03]

Good point about coaching.
With Hurts currently battling a bad knee bruise it may limit some of his willingness to run a lot.
The other big thing to me is not letting the eagles open up an early lead. When the eagles are winning by 10 or more in the first half they have been extremely tough the last two years. If we be close throughout I like our chances.

But it seems like whenever they're trailing they ALWAYS seem to come right back

Looking at Filly Sunday, these guys aren’t as good (IMO) as they were last year but they are still very good. I’ve watched them play in parts of 3 games and they certainly can be beat. But it won’t be easy.

IMO, these are their strengths and weaknesses.
STRENGTHS

• They are still very capable offensively. Still run the ball well, one of only 10 NFL teams that have rushed for over 1,000 yds so far, and have 10 rushing TDs (compared to 5 for us)
• Their passing game is good, not great. Hurts has 13 TDs but has thrown 8 pics- 3 more than Dak.
• WR AJ Brown has been a stud- already has 60 receptions and 5 TDs. He’s on pace for a 110-120 catch season. He’s tough to cover because he’s fast and fights well for the ball.
• Their D has an excellent pass rush and already have 25 sacks.
• They can stop the run. They have allowed less than 80 yards per game through 8 games so far.

WEAKNESSES

• Hurts has thrown 8 pics in 8 games. If you can force him to stay in the pocket and make tough throws, he’s not as effective. If he’s playing from behind, especially late in the game, his effectiveness drops significantly.
• Their secondary is vulnerable if Dak has time. Their nickel corner Bradley Robey has been hurt and their other corners have been beat more than a few times lately. They allowed the Commanders Sam Howell to throw for nearly 400 yds. They can be vulnerable to the pass.
• The eagles K Jake Elliott has missed an XP and a couple of FGs lately.

We can beat these guys. But they are still very good. It’s going to take our best game of the year.
If the OL can give Dak time, we have a chance. If the defense can stop the run and not allow Hurts to run around we have a great chance.

Philadephia's D-Line against our O-line will limit Dak to 2.5 secs to get it out, no more than 3 secs (watch). He can't hold it after that, he has to either step up/ throw it away or break out and run.
When he's holding the ball, sitting in the pocket, not stepping up, that's when bad things happen (sacks, turnovers etc).

Our game plan must be to get it out quick and move it downfield, like last week AFTER the first series.

Strengths are both lines. They can dominate the LOS. Run game dropped off with Opeta but Jurgens may be back.
Back end of the D hasn’t been great but that’s as much about injuries as anything else. Continuity there really helps and in 8 games they’ve had 8 starting combos. Slot corner is the biggest issue since Maddox and then Robey went down. Dallas should put Lamb in the slot a ton. LB play in coverage has been adequate at best. They don’t do a great job rerouting slants and crossers. One thing the D is terrible at is covering bunch formations. It’s ugly. Dallas would be smart to exploit that.

Not sure I’d call the kicker a weakness. He’s missed 2 FGs and 1 XP this year. He had one bad push from 35 against the Jets but he’s been damn good.

Dallas should definitely attack the middle of the field. Mix in a bit of run just to keep play action in play because Cunningham loves to bite on the fake. If the O gets off schedule the d-line becomes a problem.

Not surprised to see that stat. That's definitely how it feels watching him the last few years. Can produce, looks like an all-star for several games, then he meets a contender and falls on his bum.

they are team stats. dak stat is the first one and the second one is the team. noob fans, hating on dak.

One thing I'm curious about is how Kevin Byard performs, both times when Dallas has played against him (2018 and 2022) Byard has a total of 3 interceptions against Dak, he intercepted Dak twice last season

 

[Kevinicus]

....I get that tingly feeling, that Dak is going to have good game.

Like he always does. 8-3 Vs Philly.

Lol...always....lol.
He's been mostly better after his first two years, aside from the stinker in 2019. Definitely not always.

 

[CCBoy]

Good break down on OP.

Time to QB for a good pass rusher is just above 2.4 seconds. That means that all rushers will have to be delayed solid for 2.5 seconds. That should give Dak Prescott to move around for small amounts of additional time. That becomes a big advantage in developing the run out as well. This better be both a productive run attack and a strong passing afternoon for the Cowboys.

Keep them out of 1 yard situations and for this entire game come back with more than any Red Zone field goal.

Play fully a three phase game.

Sure would be a good game to see a receiving and a return TD for Turpin.

Great point. Over the past 4-5 years or so, Byard and Fred Warner are the two individual defensive opponents i've been most impressed by. Hopefully he has a quiet game Sunday.

 

[Creeper]

The Eagles have given up the fewest rushing yards because no one tries to run the ball against them. They average only 17 rushes against them per game. Perhaps because teams have to throw against them or they prefer to throw against them, but their avg yards per carry is 3.8, which is in the top 10 but I don't think it is enough to give up trying to run against them.

One key to the game is to not let Reddick get a free shot at Dak. Make sure you have a OT ready for him every time he rushes. He gets a lot of his sacks by beating TEs, or not getting blocked at all.

A big key in this game is going to be Tyler Biadasz. He needs to have a good game Sunday. So does Terence Steele.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Your post was about listing them by team “like they do with Dak”. They might do that when it’s 2-3 teams, but when the sample size gets big enough, they clump them together. As proof by a “who did Dak beat” stat with a bigger sample size

Yea that's total bull.

Hurts' comebacks are all against crappy teams. You just pointed to something totally different and irrelevant to the point lol
