[quote=hesscl34;242368]Overpowering O? Um, pipe dream. We do have MB as our QB. I think he can get the job done, but he needs an outstanding D to help.[/quote]

With the Skins "D" giving up more than 380 yds per game, The "O" will have to win it.

Maybe MB will use the middle of field this week for a fresh change.

He used it last week.

First time in 8 games.

The offense is so predictable that all the opposing "D" coverage has been on the outside.

Does this sound fimiliar:

On the Skins 20.

Run on 1st down. 3 to 4 yards.

Throw on 2nd down. 2 yards or incomplete

Throw on 3rd down. Incomplete

Punt from the 26.

But if the Skins get the ball at the opposing teams 45:

Throw long down the sidelines on 1st down. (happens every friggin time) incomplete

Run on 2nd down. 2 yards

Throw short of the 1st down marker on 3rd down.

Punt from the 43.

This is getting painful!

How about using more plays from this allegedly inovative play book with some kind of success.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

We need to pressure McNabb. We need to run the ball well and win the turnover battle. We need help from the D and Special teams to win this one. Big game for Randle El-- I don't think Moss will play.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

Defensively:

1. Stop L.J. Smith. This is Donovan's security blankey.

2. Stop all the different screen plays.

3. Force turnovers.

Offensively:

1. Throw on first down. (or anytime that Trotter is on the field)

2. Don't be afraid to run on third and fivish.

3. Keep LLoyd's head in the game by giving him a deep shot or two each half.

S Teams:

Keep doing what you did last week.

Did you know. The Eagles (under Andy Reid) are 7-0 after a bye week

However, the Eagles are also 0-7 against teams starting Mark Brunell at QB

Great stat, I was just getting reading to ask if someone knew A Reid record coming off a bye and TAKFAS came through. 7-0, that's scary.

I think one key is to keep McNabb is the pocket and stop those sneaky runs of his.

We are a different D with Springs in there. The D is back!!!

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

First and foremost: play defense!

Second: ball control

If we can play D, and run the clock, then we can win. I feel good about this game ... we will win.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

The D needs some help. The O needs to establish the run to keep the D off the field. Sounds simple enough.

2 days before Gameday here in eastern pa.....wearing my Redskin's gear I have had alot of run-ins with eagles fans.....

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

thats funny rail, because i just got into at work with an eagle fan. the great thing about arguing with them is, once i say about the 3 super bowl wins, the argument is pretty much over
