Re: Eagles vs Skins Pre Game/ Predictions

I typically get a good indication of how the Skins will look offensively and defensively (with the understanding it's JUST preseason), but honestly I don't know what to expect. I think this week we'll have a hard time running the ball against the Eagles front.

I think Philly will live and die by Wentz. If he doesn't show any improvement or we DO defensively (which I think our run defense has improved along with our LBs) I think the Eagles will have a hard time. They keep writing about Torrey Smith like he's some savior. Let's be real, his best years are behind him. He MIGHT do what Wentz does best, but I'm not scared of him. I was more worried about Jordan Matthews.

If we win, it's a close one 20-17.

Re: Eagles vs Skins Pre Game/ Predictions

Will be interesting to see how well Darby(a local) handles the NFC East receivers,he was good on a bad Ryan defense lets see what happens now.

I'm more worried about Alshon Jeffery to be honest. Norman didn't exactly shut him down last year and now he's playing with a competent qb. Torrey Smith might make a few plays but he's never been a consistent playmaker.
