The thing that worries me most about the Skins is that they're DUE.
You just know the law of averages will soon catch up to us......But then again, it seems like we'll never beat Philly again.
I watched the Skins games vs the Bears. They were very dull offensively. They couldn't muster anything, and even though he rushed for over 120 yards, Portis was pretty much contained.
Defensively, they are very stout. I know we are more talented than they are defensively, but they play well together, and are well coached. They didn't pressure Orton a whole lot because they kept dropping into coverages to confuse him.
Rest assured that will not happen with us. They will blitz DB. This is why I'm not nearly as confident as others on this board. I like DB, and I think he had a great game, but he has to prove to me that he can handle pressure.
This will be a big game for Rivera and Pettiti. I think the Skins will blitz to that side more....test the rook.
This is a game we should win. And that's what's bothering me....we should win it. During the past few seasons, the Skins held the talent edge and we beat them.
We're clearly better, and I guess that worries me.
