Damn, 6 concussions for Reed? probably time to hang it up, this game is not worth the damage that's doing to him

Philadelphia Eagles | Injury Report

However, you need not worry about Cox’s status for this Sunday’s game against Washington. The Eagles’ All-Pro defensive tackle will be playing at FedEx Field. Doug Pederson said this morning that Cox’s absence from practice was to be expected, and was largely precautionary.

Cox has 11 tackles, four sacks, and one forced fumble in four games this season. He’s been nothing short of Pro Bowl-worthy so far; having him for Sunday, the Eagles’ first divisional game of the season, is big.

Pederson said McKelvin and Braman will also be ready for Sunday’s game.

----------------------------------------

How are the Eagles this healthy? They have 0 players on IR and will have 0 players from the 53 man roster missing sundays game (except ped boy lane).

How is that possible? Wow.

Of course that stat coincides with our 3 game win streak coming against 2 winning teams. Which is nice. A lil win streak in the first half of a season is always a welcome guest.

Our 3rd down defense has to improve and I think they kept the Ravens to a conversion rate of 3/15 or something like that. Thats a start. Id like more of that please.

Great point.

I also think Joe Barry is a "young" coach, he just had two seasons as D coord, back in 07-08, and we're seeing him progress already. Against the ravens I'd say he adapted way better than the first 4 weeks, well, better gameplan for sure!
With time he might become a very good coach, I already feel like this D is looking happy to play for him, more hungry than previous years!

Yeah he's a stud but he can never stay healthy

The Eagles do have lousy WRs, that's why Doug brought back the good old Andy Reid horizontal passing game. The biggest threat we have to worry about is Darren Sproles on screens and wheel routes.

They'll try to get us running side to side and then occasionally try to surprise us with a deep throw.

I think Norman and Breeland put them on lock. Whitner playing a lot more this week I'm going to guess, I think he helps shore up some of the poor angles in the secondary and helps limit Sproles and Ryan Mathews. And without Lane Johnson, I don't necessarily think we have a field day with getting to Wentz, but I don't think they'll be able to run to that side very well. The rookie playing RT is supposed to be a decent pass protector, but where he'll struggle is run blocking.

However, if we have to miss Jordan Reed that will hurt us quite a bit. They'll shade deep to cover Jackson and we won't have the same threat in the middle. And it's not in our hands as to whether Reed plays, the concussion protocol means the independent neurologist has all the say there. We'd just have to hope Crowder can threaten the middle of the field enough, and that we can gash the wide-9 with Matt Jones.

Even matchup. We'll get up for this game, for sure. It's a division game against a team with a 0.5 game lead on us. It doesn't get any bigger. This probably comes down to whether Cousins takes care of the ball or not.

Don't forget about Vernon Davis, he's been playing pretty good when given the opportunity

[skinsfaninok]

If we don't have Reed which I bet we wont, it won't kill us because it opens it up for Crowder to get over the middle and guys like Davis and Paul will get some chances.. Reed has been the main guy basically so it'll be nice to see other get the chance.

[los panda]

davis is ready to step up. when did reed suffer this concussion?

[CRedskinsRule]

Reed is sure handed and gets the extra yards. His absence will be missed on 3rd and medium

His name is Jordan Matthews and he is on my WP fantasy football team. Thank you very much. Lol

Seriously I haven't played fantasy football in years for that very reason. Conflict of interests. I have Philly's D and Matthews and I hate that I have to root for and against them.......namely because I don't think that it's even possible......

Skins - 34
Birdies - 17

We own them recently, and while Wentz comes crashing back down to Earth (literally), Cousins is going to have a banner day. Say hello to first place after week 6.

We haven't even really hit on all cylinders on offense yet.. It's coming

I hate saying it because he is awesome, but I agree, if you're that prone to them it's not worth it in the long run. I'm sure he loves the game and it's also a lot of money, but I'd rather have my wits than millions of dollars. But its easier said than done for me to say than for him. He seems like a good guy, hope everything works out for him.
