I will wait from Broddius to break down tape but nothing surprised me more than Hardy being neutralized by Lane Johnson. One thing is clear, if Hardy resigns with Dallas he needs to improve his upper body strength. Lane is similar to Free in that he can be over-powered. Hardy did none of that.

i wonder if the eagles were using the " pull down" technique on him, the announcers citied it several times re Smith vs the Eagle defender. To me a pull down should be the same as a hold, but I guess the refs don't see it that way.

jesus you people are ridiculous.
Hardy didn't have his best game (still had a sack and some pressures). No, he's not Anthony Spencer. No, he doesn't need to improve his upper body strength. It's the NFL, it happens.

We had some pressure from the edges. However, nothing from the middle! So many time Bradford just step up in the pocket and find his receivers. The fail is the two DT's we have and Ro who is fat and slow. DL needs to collapse the pocket from the middle!

Why don't they try Hardy inside some?

They probably did. Hardy is just a more effective DE than DT. I don't know what happened to Crawford. I am also wondering how can Bishop possibly do worse than Hayden?

Greg Hardy did nothing today against a guy playig LT for the first time in his life. He was invisible out there and is showing signs of being our next Anthony Spencer.

Apart from the int against Seattle, he has been almost invisible the last two weeks. Jerry is paying him a TON. of money- i almost hope we don't resign him.

Demarcus Lawrence goes down as the biggest disappointment on the year for me. He loses the edge constantly and doesnt make ANYTHING happen. Talk about hype. He should be benched thats how bad he has been. He sucks!

And how out of shape is our defense that we look like we are about to die in the middle of Philly having a 12 play, 5 minute drive. Are you serious? That was embarassing to see.

Someone, ANYONE, please get benched! Or some coach gets fired-show you care

Crawford=milk carton

I don't see how people can't simply do better t han Hayden. Like anyone. I just thought this team would want their best 4 pass rushers out there....and maybe they did I was just probably too frustrated to even notice on TV.
