Around the NFL Week 1

I do think AZ will be a much tougher test for this defense, mostly because they can and will run the ball, unlike Philly.

The offense has to get it going this week, they can't rely on short fields every week (but I hope it IS a trend). I think the offense will do alright though. I don't see the AZ defense as better than the Eagles D.

AZ defense is stout and have some star players, Patrick Peterson, Isiah Simmons, Buddah Baker, Chandler Jones and others, they limited SF scoring.

True, they don’t have the d line like Philly has either. Jones is good, but they don’t have the beef like the Eagles up front.

Arizona oline is pretty average as well. One thing that scares me is the receiving group...those guys can play and we have Apke in centerfield who a huge liability

The AZ defense is fast - not as strong as the beefy guys Philly puts up front. But the AZ defenders were flying to the ball yesterday. The game plan to counter that will be key - misdirection and motion will be important.

Murray is a better runner than Wentz, and so we will need to keep him in check. They just beat the NCF champs at home, so they’re definitely legit. This will be a very big test for us.

I honestly was way more impressed by the Cardinals' D than I was the Eagles'. AZ's O kept punting the ball back and their D kept Jimmy G under pressure, facing a really good Oline too.

Turner seems to be able to scheme around our OL's weaknesses though.

I agree with everything you’ve said here. AZ played like a pretty balanced team all around.

Arizona is better than us. Doesn't mean we can't or won't win. But no reason to expect it either. Would be an awesome win.

Arizona has better overall secondary by far, just avg linebackers but i don’t think Arizona dline is close to eagles. Jackson, Cox, curry and graham...Barnett was out...are a handful. Brandon Graham and Malik Jackson are 2 of the most under appreciated ballers year in and year out.

I think our Oline will see some relief. Chandler Jones is always a pro bowler tho.

They gave good players. Simmons looked lost in week 1 though. SF managed to score 20 with no receivers, a hobbled Kittle, and a so-so game by Grrappolo.

I think overall the Eagles D is better, but it's only week 1 so who knows.

Peterson and Matthieu looked good patrolling the secondary though.
