The Defense

Our defense might be ranked # 1 going into the Eagles game next week, but the Eagles and their fast paced offense will be our first test..will we be able to get pressure on Nick Foles?

You watching the game tonight?? Haslett should be licking his chops right about now.

the key to winning , dont miss tackles on mccoy and sproles

get pressure

dont play conservative bend but dont break

conditioning is key

Over the last few years, McCoy has made us look silly. Sproles looked ridiculous.


We have to play smart and run the hell out of the ball. Even Trent Richardson looked good tonight. Make them throw the ball to beat us.


Got a bad feeling about this game.

Our defense is fast and athletic. Idk who will win but it should be close

I agree. The key to this game is time management. We need to control the clock and not let them have too many possessions. We have got to make foles beat us. McCoy and Sproles have to be our focus.

Damn I wanted Darren Sproles last off season. He has always been one of my favorite non-Redskins. It was obvious what he would add to the Philly attack. And that attack is downright scary. They have guys running free seemingly every play. Not sure what is up at RT but we really need to exploit that to have a chance. I don't put a lot of stock in defensive rankings when you play the 2 worst offenses in the league to open the season.

If our D keeps this up...I'll never be so happy to declare myself wrong about getting rid of Haz.

the eagles offense so far has mad us look silly . now we do have more speed and hopefully we can tackle better

if we do that and stay injury free we could have a very good defense

You were part of a large group that included myself. By all means Haslett - prove us wrong!

THe one thing I noticed about the Eagles offense last night was... it consists of two players and everything else is window dressing. IF ( I know this is a big IF) , but if you can manage Sproles and McCoy, Nick Foles doesnt seem to be hurting any one this year. I know thats a very tall order. But I have faith in Has to figure something special out for this weekend.

Agree Shark but I'd add in their TE, Ertz...

Foles has looked much more human this year. The hits the eagles have taken on their Oline has affected his play no doubt. But good pass pressure from us will throw him off his game. Hope Haz dials it up. Foles tends to hold the ball too long and he doesn't seem to have the accuracy he was showing last year.

Waiving Rambo is one way to get to this stat.

Seriously tho, great job so far. After the Eagles game, we should have a much better view of where we are with our D.
