Only WR we have who can do that is Brown. CeeDee's getting stronger but he's not there yet.Try to make Rush pass more than the cowboys want him to.
If the cowboys can hit couple of big pass plays early, I like their chances.
If only cowboys had a big strong receiver who can break tackles and get some YAC.

Since fangio is helping eagles. I’d expect what fangio did to dak last year. Dak couldn’t do anything right in that game.
He doesn't seem like a physical receiver to me.Have you watched Brown play?
they know we can't go deep too often and that our game plan is to run the ball. they will force the issue with focusing on stopping the run, and force some longer passing situations and pin their ears back and go after rush, specially given we haven't been great in pass protection. my suspicion is we won't convert too many third downs and be in tough field positions. our only chance is to come out aggressive and have some early success. if we comeout with previous 4 games game plan, we are not going to see much success and if we come out aggressive and not have any success, then it leaves us nowhere. this is not a good match up for us.You’re the Eagles.
Do you play it safe in the secondary with safeties deep and ask the two talented CBs to take everything away and dare Dallas to try and run on your front, thinking the Cowboys won’t have enough success running to beat you.
Or do you stack the box with LBs and Safeties to totally shut down the run and occasionally send the blitz, daring Ceedee, Gallup, and Rush to pass on Slay and Bradberry?
If I’m Philly, I start with the second plan. I don’t let the Cowboys run, and I don’t let Rush stand in the pocket long. I think I can beat the Cowboys receivers and QB with Slay and Bradberry and the pass rush. I’m going to sell out to shut down the run, creating more 3 and outs, winning field position, and making Rush throw the ball over 30 times to stay in the game, and I don’t think the Dallas receivers can beat my CBs regularly enough to make Rush comfortable.
What do you think we will see from the Eagles? Remember, we are guessing about their strategy. That doesn’t mean the strategy will actually work. Maybe Ceedee makes mincemeat of Slay. Who knows.
They will commit 8 to the box to stop the run and make Rush beat them with his arm.
