Eagles strengths and worries

[Guest]

eagles defense is pretty good. expect a low scoring game. the oline needs to step up this game.

bring it home!

I think I read somewhere that the over/under is something like 38.5 and I think I'd pick the under.  This game is going to be a defensive battle and like Sticky said a quick start is really important.

I would take the under too.   Eagles oline is one of the best in the league.  Vikings oline is middle of the pack.  The D's are equivalent.

I agree Case's legs will be critical.  They need some delayed runs for Case.  Let the defenders run upfield then off Case goes.

I felt that Case should have been running more against the Saints, especially when the pressure was increasing in the second half. Murray only averaged 2.5 yards per carry. Bortles was fantastic at taking off against the Steelers to pick up nice chunks of yardage to keep the chains moving. I think we will need to use the short passing game on first downs to set-up the run.

I suspect our screen game will be critical on offense.  Question, do they run man or zone more?

On D, as is said, stop the run and we should be able to stop their offense. 

We should see a lot of zone D according to what I heard today.
