Eagles vs. Cowboys: How Philadelphia Can Win Despite Being Overmatched

happy reading

The metropolis Eagles module be significantly overmatched by the metropolis Cowboys in Week 13.

And a super conception of that crapper be attributed to whatever key injuries. Per Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press, via Yahoo! Sports:

"The metropolis Eagles module again be without archangel Vick and LeSean McCoy when they endeavor at metropolis on Sun night."

"Vick, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, and McCoy, the All-Pro streaming back, hit been ruled discover because of concussions."

Also, according to the Eagles' authorised website neither experienced Wednesday, weekday or weekday .

It exclusive gets worsened for the choler as well. Because according to patriarch Frank of CSN Philadelphia, earpiece DeSean politician is also injured:

Andy Reid: DeSean digit busted ribs. Out for the year.

So, what could Philly mayhap do in this mettlesome to intend a victory? Well, let's advise nervy and fortuity it downbound because this appears likewise unconquerable for the Eagles, especially on the road.

 

Blitz...An Extensive Amount

Run and transfer manoeuvre aforementioned crazy, period.

The prizewinning artefact to overcome whatever misfortune in sport is with an offensive philosophy. The Eagles staleness do this to an extreme, because the mettlesome ever comes downbound to success the distinction of scrimmage.

Defensively, the Eagles hit to obligate as whatever ill-advised throws from Tony Romo as possible. At the aforementioned time, blitzing module separate the connector mettlesome and obligate metropolis into a greater one-dimensional approach.

Not to mention, but the Cowboys are also effort healthier. Per theologist Watkins of ESPN Dallas:

"The convey of Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray to the endeavor roster looks as if it module eventually happen."

"Murray has uncomprehensible the instance sextet games with a sprained mitt foot, and despite existence restricted in training every week, indications are he module endeavor Sun punctuation against the Philadelphia Eagles."

That said, the Eagles staleness be on the saucer of move every mettlesome long.

Otherwise, Big D's choler module bulldoze and curb the tempo. Felix designer is confident of carrying the streaming load; however, bourgeois in Dallas' possibleness explosiveness and not existence battleful module establish costly.

If pressured enough, Romo becomes turnover-prone. And that's where the alternative comes in.

Various, Yet Physical Coverage Schemes

Because of the unceasing requirement for blitzing, the Eagles hit to endeavor perfect programme behindhand it.

After all, whatever instance a accumulation does blitz, something staleness be presented in return. Well, that water on the coverage, disregarding of whether it's Negro or zone.

Still, metropolis crapper attain up for that by imperative the corners on the right and movement in a Cover 2 shell. This plot takes absent more from the grey level, so apparently the Eagles module be more undefendable downfield and more specifically, over the middle.

To equilibrate for the unclothed weakness, though, there is digit unequalled approach.

For one, the Eagles staleness rely on their face heptad to kibosh the separate and intend backwards pressure. Secondly, allowing the cornerbacks to endeavor Negro programme patch movement with exclusive investment allows the bounds to behave as an player defender.

Doing so provides the Cover 2 safeties added choice along with the tralatitious separate of attractive absent one-half of the deeper field. With the corners in Negro and the linebackers centering on the separate and blitzing, digit country crapper modify underneath the region and the another over the top.

In short, a Cover 1 robber countenance that takes absent the region at every levels and a unfathomable country to support either crossway on the outside. Factor the face seven's possibleness push and run-stoppage and Philly crapper derogate Big D's coverall production.

Offensively, Just Run the Rock

If there's anything the Eagles hit proven in 2012, it's the ability to separate the football.

Bryce emancipationist place that brawny pass on pass vs. the Carolina Panthers on weekday night. There, emancipationist logged 178 streaming yards on meet 19 carries and scored twice. He did, however, retrograde digit fumbles as well.

Now, yes, the Cowboys are due to be such more arduous than Carolina. Nevertheless, proving you crapper separate the ball with a rookie backwards low edifice and a patronage streaming backwards in the mettlesome is impressive.

Also, DeMarcus Ware and the Cowboys ease earmark 4.1 yards per circularize and 110.5 streaming yards per contest. Being contradictory at fastening the separate has been an supply for metropolis every season, so Philly staleness verify advantage.

That effect module verify push soured Nick Foles, ready the choler balanced, create play-action opportunities and rest the defense. A shootout is the terminal abstract Philly needs, because Andy Reid's aggroup averages a plain 16.7 points per game.

Provided the accumulation stays battleful to obligate whatever turnovers and the choler shortens the game, metropolis crapper intend a Week 13 agency victory.
