Keys to the game versus Philly
 

This game is by far a very winnable situation for the skins, this game honestly will kill me if we lose. Turnovers are a must , someone has to step up and get some picks. Finger pointing wont get us anywhere unfortunately we payed the guys gotta stick with them. (Damn Archuleta). This guys are professional football players plays must happen. Phillys wide outs aren't better then what we face on Sunday. Containing Westbrook and that highpowered offense will be a challenge but making timely plays and making the plays were supposed to make and hopefully scoring more than 22 will lead us to victory. I can see clinton portis having a huge roll in this game. I also think Marcus Washington will also have some huge plays. But this week i really do have a good feeling.

What is the difference in what you're saying/asking than the thread posted by Skinsfan69? It would apear they both would call for basically the same type response. Check out "This week against Philly"

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

Set McIntosh on McKnobb, have the Secondary COVER, FFS! and the rest should just flow, baby!

Agreed.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

Must get pressure on McNabb and we have to run the ball to set up the play action like last week. Pretty simple...lol

[B]keep away is the key![/B]

face it guys, we can't hold down the eagles offense. if they have the ball enough they will score alot and often, and from every way possible, deep, short, play action, you name it. I know it sounds pessemistic but our D is so vulnerable right now, and our offense is not helping at all. I'm not too convinced by the Dallas game. I think we can squeeze out at least 20 points on O, hopefully that will be enough.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

pressure on mcnabb. it seems like every time he runs, he either pukes or is severely winded. and run the damn ball. try to control the time of possession. if you like the eagles, or not, their offense can make big plays. and if you have been watching, our defense sort of gives up alot of big plays

With the exception of our secondary, I think our D has improved and because we have them all back and healthy I think that will help a great deal. Not to mention Santana - if he is back I do think we have a shot, and I don't think that is unrealistic.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

I can't even blame the secondary. It was almost like freak plays were happening on third down. On ANY down but third, the defense played like it has been the past two years. It was like they laid down on third. Tighten that up and they'll be playing like a top ten defense again.

And for any critics of my boy Rogers, he played a MONEY game. I don't think hardly any passes were even THROWN in his direction.

I hope I'm wrong but this game is not very winable.There are three big advantages Philly has. 1. They have McNabb and we have Brunell. When shit's not going right McNabb has the ablility to take over the game. Be it with his legs or his arm. With Brunell everything has to be perfect for him to just play average. And on the road at Philly shit is not going to be perfect. Trust me. 2. Philly seems to be able to get a better pash rush. Not just by sacks but hurries as well. 3. They are playing at home coming off a bye. Philly 31 Skins 17

I was just thinking that...

They are a solid defense other than third down... and then all bets are off. We forced alot of third and longs too, thats a hell of good job...

We just have to step it up on that one illusive down.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

It's all about pressure. Hell, if not pressure then put out more DBs.

good points TMC..i started a thread about how i sweated bullets on 3rd and ANYTHING! defenitely need to tighten up 3rd immensely....and please god, no more AA.....

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

Score more points than Philly does!

Pretty simple.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

The key to victor is by 1 point or more!

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

Number one key, keep Archulleta on the bench!

TO ran right by him even w/10 yd. cushion. I hope GW has confidence in him to play him tight & hit the wr's off the line.

Agreed! I also think a big key is keeping Brunell out of obvious passing downs, you know second and 2 third and 1 and so on.

put a hat on mcnab every time he passes,keep a spy on him too.
be as agressive on offense as the defense was in the 4th quarter against the cowgirls!take every CLEAN open shot on defense you can.how about letting sean taylor play some wr a play or two???

exactly!i think this is the two games yearly the skins will really miss arrington.everytime the skins played the eagles,la was the spy.that is before he got hurt every other play!

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

The best defense is an over-powering offense (see indy). Score more points than your opponent of course. I see # 23 doing something special to help us win this ball game again. This game will give our defense a chance to prove it's self for the season.

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.

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.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

[quote=hesscl34;242375]He used it last week.[/quote]

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!

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

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

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

[quote=hesscl34;242375]He used it last week.[/quote]

fo reelz yo!

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.

Re: Keys to the game versus Philly
 

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.
