I didn't see the stats, did GB put up any #s in the run game? Someone said they passed more.
If their run D is still weak (I know they signed Spikes & replaced Trotter), they're in for a long night. Once again, the identity of the team is w/the running game on both sides of the ball.

The Eagles have the #1 run D in the league right now. Green Bay ran for a measly 46 yards against them, but they only ran it 17 times with Brandon Jackson taking the bulk of the carries, so the stats are probably skewed due to the quality of GB's backs and their O-line. It's hard to tell if Philly's run D will still be as porous as last year's or if they've improved. I guess we'll find out next Monday night.
