Thin at LB

Still is.

Time for the coaches to adjust.

The Eagles will not beat us running the ball.

It will be defense and throwing to their TEs.

Play alot of 3-4 and keep more DBs on the TEs.

I expect we'll see Byron Jones on Ertz all day.

Even when he wasn't good as a safety, he was a guy who could shut down TEs
 
Philly has two offensive weapons left... Sanders and Ertz. If our OL plays like they did yesterday-- we should beat Philly. If for whatever reason we choke and lose-- then yesterday was fool's gold and we get a new coaching staff sooner than we expected.

Disagree. Jaylon has received alot of criticism for his play this year and LVE's injury is keeping him out of a significant amount of games. We don't know his status long term

We were already without LVE which is the biggest loss. Lee is being kept together by tape right now and can go at any time. We lost Thomas and Gifford in yesterday's game.

We only have Smith, March and Covington left.

Anyone else concerned? Cause Philly will exploit that weakness.

Anyone out there we can sign that is available?

Garrett will figure it out and put in a game plan that will maximize our talent.
 
Make it thru this game and win, then you have essentially a bye week to figure it out.

sooner lol Garetts gone if we dont go to the NFCCG he wont be fired in season with 2 left.. so calm down hes most likely gone about the same point as we predicted..dont eat more crow lol

this will be a tough game in weather on the road and Philly wont lay down..they also have Goedert etc we should win if we can run well and play TOP and strong defense..clean game =win implode with turnovers and penaltys we lose..its an even match talent wise but they are at home..

Richard has to see this coming.

Something must be in the mix to offset this.

This is not the Rams from last year.

I am not saying Garrett gets fired if we lose-- "sooner than expected" simply meant that instead of playing a game in Jan-- we would be watching a coaching interview process with great interest.

As far as this matchup goes-- Not an even match talent-wise. Not at all. We have the better roster. They have the advantage of being at home and playing for the playoffs-- but we are healthier and handled them easily in Oct. If we play to our potential-- we should win by 2 TDs.

You are right about one thing-- if we beat ourselves with turnovers and penalties, Philly can steal the W on Sun. Gonna be fun to watch.
 
I watched the Philly-Washington game in its entirety. Washington knowing that all they had was Ertz and Godard, they still didn't stop them. It was them and continuous screens to Scott and their other back.

This all comes down to LB play. We cannot put Smith on Ertz it will not work. Lee wont either. Thomas forget about it.

Do we bring in more CBs to defend the TE and screens??? That is all I think will work. Can someone like Thompson play in the box? More speed then Smith or Lee to cover Ertz and screen passes. This and only this will kill us.

If Lee goes down we’re done, pray for the tape holding him together....

Speaking of which, is that guy the bomb or what? Sack, pick, goal line stuff. His pec injured, his thigh falling off, bleeding everywhere. I'm going to miss that guy. I hope they hold him out of practice all week again if it means he will be a monster against the Eagirls.

Do you really think there's a LB sitting unsigned that is going to be better than what the Cowboys already have? The choices are that or signing a practice squad player from another team and that's going to be some big help?

I watched most of the Philly-Washington game, and that's how it looked to me, too.

Dallas has march and just brought up covington. But Dallas says Thomas is ok
 
They have put Byron on Ertz before with positive results. Any of the other corners should be able to handle Philly's practice squad receivers on the outside.
