Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2464285, member: 1572"] In comparing the schedules, the Eagles beat nearly every strong team in the NFC - a clearly superior conference. Beat CAR and LAR on the road and ATL and MIN at the linc. Weakness for Philly D is not in defending TEs, MIN and ATL TEs did essentially nothing other than the one throw to Rudolph in the 1Q. Malcolm Jenkins often covers TE's and he's a pro bowler. Philly weakness is that secondary often bites on double moves and can get burned. Mills and Darby do that often. Other problem is secondary can get sloppy with tackling in the open field. Screen game can be effective as well. Philly D strength is that NE has not seen a pass rush that can bring it for 60 minutes like this one. And they don't have to blitz cuz they get there with four. And they get pressure up the middle with two excellent DTs. Brady, like any QB, hates pressure up the middle. Btw what do you think the line would be if Wentz were under center? [/QUOTE]
