And he left it on the field.
Barkley's gonna be a handful and he's gonna come at us all day.
There was uncalled penalty on that TD. Not too worried about it. [Reply]

We now have Hollywood, D (HOF'er) Hop, and Worthy as well Watson and JuJu returning. It's TK's last super bowl in all likelihood. Hunt's Double Wide and driven ass is back. Our Defense is no longer full of rookies and inexperience.
We will fuck this team up...
We're not losing in the place where Montana 55-10'd Elway.

With Watson back, I feel okay about matching up with the Eagles WRs (though Smith vs. McDuffie is a little spooky because Smith's deep speed is so good and that's one area where McDuffie isn't truly elite).
But it feels like single high man coverage is gonna leave us pretty exposed to Goedert. And we're not going to put Hicks out there over Cook. We probably should, but we won't. Unless you're talking about a heavy nickel package with Hicks out there as a 3rd safety, in which case you could use him on Goedert and Reid in run support. I might actually keep Cook in the Single High spot there given that he IS faster than Reid and single high responsibility is actually simple.
He seems to get lost mid-zone trying to play alongside another safety where he loses guys as they come across zones. In single high, maybe he'd be okay.
Spags can just look back on his experience of going against the Ravens and Bills. Philly ain't bringing nothing this defense hasn't seen already. [Reply]

The fake turf with no wind or rain/snow is a benefit for both offenses. Philly has very explosive weapons with Saquon, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, etc. [Reply]

Will we go heavy Nickel & Heavy Dime a lot in this game?
I feel like having extra Safeties on the field would help with both coverage of Goedert, as well as supporting with the speed and tackling required with Barkley. [Reply]
With the Eagles having to play a backup LB already. I wonder what they will do when Andy goes into twelve personnel? Bring in the third string rookie LB Trotter or not even bother to go into base at all? That's gonna be interesting because I noticed all three of Washington's tight ends had catches last game for a combined 137 yards and a TD and word is Fangio stayed in nickle with Dejean vs 12 and 13 personnel. So it looks like they may not have any base packages due to Dean being out :-) [Reply]
