is it just me or is there very little talk about Malcolm Jenkins being forced into slot coverage duty for this game? Seriously...a strong safety having to check Beaze or (perish the thought) Dez if we move him into the slot from time to time.

How does this not get torched all night??!! I certainly have mad respect for what the eagles D has done this season but how is this not the mismatch of the year?!!

I mean - Cole catches 11 for 120 and 2 TDs right?!!

Help me out here. What am I missing??? Why aren't major media outlets all over this?

I mean...look at how the Eagles are talking about this only days away from the game. Do they have a clue what their plan will be???

After seeing this earlier in the week I added "The Bease" to my FFL team so I'm hoping you're right!

Jenkins is such a good player. Playing him on our slot WR is not the best fit for him.

They're probably not going to have a good solution for Beasley. They're going to have to gear up for the run, because their 4-3 with Logan out is not going to be able to handle our front without dedicating more players to it. Dez is going to end up having a big game here.

Agreed. He's arguably their version of Darren Woodson in terms of his versatility.

As for Dez...he has torched them too given their tendency to single him up - particularly against Carroll. In another thread I predicted 3 TDs. Probably a bit agressive but I agre that Dez will go off. Looking forward to seeing how the team responds to being the favorite.

Me, too. I don't see how they stop the run and cover the slot without taking chances with Dez. And I think we'll be waiting for it. 3TDs was my secret bold prediction, too, but that's obviously a lot. I do think it'll be another game for him like the 2014 JAX game, if I didn't say that in this thread already.
