This game is going to boil down to time of possession, I believe. The Eagles won't throw anything at the Redskins we haven't seen in the past two or three years. Their core parts and approach are essentially the same. A new wrinkle here and there, but basically the same old Eagles.

We have to get an early jump on them, control the clock, and keep them in third down passing situations - that's it. I tell you who's going to be critical to us winning this game; Derrick Frost. If we can keep the Eagles on a long field as opposed to a short one like we did last year, I think we have a really good shot.

I don't know how effective blitzing will be to honest with you, and we can not give them those cushions underneath as has been pointed out.
