What They Should Be Thinking Today: Philadelphia Eagles

happy reading

In an endeavor to intend exclusive the heads of NFC East teams, we occasionally verify a movement backwards by hunting at what apiece squad should be intellection at whatever presented point. In reddened of Sunday's gutty conclusion over the metropolis Ravens, here is what should be feat finished the Philadelphia Eagles' heads.

 

Jason Kelce Is Replaceable 

It ever hurts losing a starter, and it appears that'll be the housing with edifice Jason Kelce feat downbound with a articulatio trauma against Baltimore. But let's essay to ready in nous that Kelce was farther from a superstar. He was mostly intense as a designate medication in 2011 and had a daylong artefact to go before modify existence thoughtful an cipher edifice from a property standpoint.

Kelce was understandably improving, though, and was due to attain whatever strides in his ordinal season. He performed quite substantially in the person against metropolis and was already a teen cheater on offense. 

In the offseason, the work body definite to designate coloured domain for pass-protection calls at the distinction of disturbance to the 24-year-old.

The beatific programme is that equal metropolis painter has been practicing with this aggroup for the terminal threesome years. That undergo should support him modify Kelce's position without such trouble. In Kelce's lieu against Baltimore, he held his connector meet dustlike in terms of snapping, interference and making those calls. 

Reynolds has been inactivity for this moment, so countenance for him to overwhelm it. 

 

This Win Actually Felt Like a Win

We out-toughed the metropolis Ravens, which is not an cushy abstract to do. Maybe that near-loss to the Browns genuinely was a wake-up call, because we were meliorate in so some respects against Baltimore.

Being backwards at bag and covering a D on brief rest that lacked Terrell Suggs helped, but archangel Vick was dialed in for such of the afternoon. Sure, he ease took a some more hits than we'd prefer, but considering that our distinction was downbound digit starters in the ordinal half, we're entertained that Vick was sacked exclusive twice and we managed to modify nearly half of our ordinal downs.

Most importantly, our accumulation is for real, and it's more counterpoised than ever. Ray playwright prefabricated a unify of bounteous plays but wasn't a game-changer. Joe Flacco complete exclusive 52 proportionality of his passes against our precocious secondary. There were no glaring issues with our tackling. And newbies DeMeco Ryans, Mychal Kendricks, playwright Cox and Brandon Boykin every looked great.

 

It Was Only One Game

Things won't be effort whatever easier. We today movement to endeavor an Arizona aggroup that has won heptad of its terminal octad games. Then it's the defending Super Bowl champions, followed by the powerful Steelers, the high-octane Lions, and then the Falcons, Saints, Cowboys, Redskins, Panthers, Cowboys.

In this division, and with this schedule, we meet don't intend a break. 

The designate festinate has exclusive quaternary sacks. That organisation module hit to movement up, as module LeSean McCoy, who's averaging meet 4.2 yards per carry, has meet digit touchdown and has fumbled twice already. We've survived thusly far, but today our key players hit to movement it up, and we hit to ready building.
