eagles run D tops in league

[_phiLLies_]

only giving up 63 yards per game so far. bucs coming in 2nd at 69.8 and the niners 3rd at 75.0. the top team is usually around the low 80 mark by the end of the season. if they could contain cheesy reverses, they'd be hovering around the 50 yards per game mark right now.

13th in the league in points allowed (should be 10th. kickoff return included.) 10th in yards per game. tied for 6th in takeaways. once again, partially doing it by pulling guys off the street because of injuries and non upgrades beyond the D-line. hate to beat a dead horse, but fans who can't appreciate schwartz are going to lose their shit when he's gone.

Now if they cold just improve the pass D, they would win the Super Bowl.

Or improve the pass O.

They have two games with over 120 yards. And they’ve faced the Bears and Eagles.

I just wouldn't put them in the "elite" run offense teams.

I wouldn’t necessarily say they’re elite either...but I also wouldn’t say that they don’t have much of a run game.

Didn't they have alot of yards last night?

aren't they 32nd in pass D? Or did the Jets help bring that down?

Looks like they are 27th in pass defense now (total yards allowed).

What I find most important is yards per attempt. They’re 16th in yards per pass attempt, 2nd in yards per rush attempt.

Unfortunately, their offense is 21st in yards per pass attempt and 23rd in yards per rush attempt. We’ll see if that improves as the season progresses. Falcons and Jets have pretty good run D and Packers and Lions have pretty solid pass D...but unfortunately the defenses aren’t going to get any easier over the next few weeks.

Rams deal Pro Bowl cornerback Peters to Ravens

LOL! Teams don't need to run against us. hehe

Rams deal Pro Bowl cornerback Peters to Ravens

Word is, the Rams will try to deal for Jalen Ramsey: 3 #1's; a #2; and one or two players. That would be hard to beat for the Eagles. We'd better try to get Chris Harris, a LB, and a WR, for us to compete in the layoffs, if we get in.
