The Defense must

[Yoshimitsu]

Stop the run. We cannot let this become the Murray vs McCoy show. The defense cannot allow him to cut back and dance around them. They must continue putting that hard effort into swarming at the ball when its in his hands. They also must get penetration in the run situations. Shady is going to be dancing in this one. I really don't think he would want to run to that gap knowing that he might meet McClain head on.

When and if they stop the run then i would take my chances with Sanchez. Especially if the offense is putting up points and controlling the tempo. They must not allow Sanchez to beat him. They must also not let him roll out the pocket. Believe it or not hes mobile and he can roll out pretty good if designed. I wont underestimate him but hes not the type of QB you want to keep throwing with 35+ times a game. Eventually its going to catch up to the eagles. They have a tough three weeks. Physical games against us and the Seahawks(Even though the Eagles have a ten day break on them). In the second game of the series we have a ten day break on them. They should take advantage of that. That's why we must win this game. We already pre-planed for them. The eagles have a short week. Word is that they got some work in on the eagles during the bye week. Win this game and we are in the driver seat.

They also really need to know where Sproles is any time he's in the game. That guy is a big play just waiting to happen.

Eagles have excellent special teams. We have to at least hold them to a draw in this area.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Defense just needs to wrap up. Missed tackles are killing them right now and that was what kept them solid in the first half of the season. Team really misses Durant.

 

[Primetime42]

Know your assignments. Stay at home. Don't try to do too much.

And for God's sake, wrap up!

 

[jazzcat22]

Containing Sproles is my biggest concern. But don't over game plan for him either, they still have McCoy and Macklin, and even Cooper. The draft pick, WR Matthews should not be ignored either.
Contain Sanchez, get pressure, force him into some mistakes.

Offense, is where our running game will be very important more so than ever, to control the clock, keep their O off the field, wear down their defense. For if they do score, we can answer back easily.

Not too concerned about the run game. Stopping the pass game is more of a problem.

 

[KJJ]

Would love to see a Murray show but definitely have to prevent a McCoy show. Have to keep an eye on Sproles out in space and force Sanchez to have to go down the field. He's turned the ball over in every game he's played this season but one. He's had 6 int's and 5 fumbles losing 2 of them. Put the game on him and come after him.

True but if they don't stop the run then the passing game becomes a bigger problem. Keeping them in 2nd and long, 3rd and long will help swing things back to our advantage

I think Jerry needs to print up posters / signs and put in every seat and put the butt fumble pic on it. then people can hold them up while Eagles have the ball.....

Just put it up on Jerry's big TV.

This is the key. Don't give up any big plays on STs and at least break even the turnover battle, I think we win by 7-10 points.

I just mean to say they've been pretty stingy when it comes to the run game all things considered.

True but it seems with Philly how we deal with McCoy determines our success. Granted not all of that is in the running game some is in the passing game to McCoy.

RoMc needs to hit sproles like he did a few years ago during the raiders chargers game.

 

[visionary]

Simple:

1. Tackle properly and wrap up
2. Stop the run
3. HIT mark Sanchez again and again and again

So things that we haven't been good at all year? And now we are supposed to get good at it? The Giants doing what they did to us is just a taste of what a good offense will do to this defense.

My 8 year old nephew is a genius.
Seriously- it's spooky.
The kid is 8 and studying advanced robotics. Voluntarily.

He tutors Physics to college students.
I half expect to get a phone call from my brother any day now telling me his son is bending spoons with his mind chanting "There is no spoon".

I'm slowly, but surely manipulating the child into building a working version of the Vision.

And then vee shall zee my Vision of zee Future come to fruition!

Ah ha haaa! Ah ha ha ha hahaha haaaaaaaaa!!!
