Chaney & Rolle are playing the Roles that best suit them which is Specail Teams and a Back-up capacity.. I’ve stated many times that neither one of them
(and go ahead adn include Matthews) are legitimate Starting LB’s in the NFL

Back on the Arizona Cardinals, who have a very physical and instinctive Defense.. Their LB play, CB and Safety Play is very good and disciplines.. (All their Def/Coaches are from the Steeler ORganaization and now in their 2nd YEars under Ray Hortnon are putting players in good positions to make plays
Besides DE Campbell, LB Washington and Safety WIlson and CB Petersen all legitimate Pro-Bowl Players.. I expect this game to be of a lower score..
a 20-16 Type of Game where TD’s will be hard to come by for both Teams..
The guy that scares me is their Return Man LaRod Stevens-Howling who is excellent in Kick-Off/Punt Returns in which the EAgles have struggled a bit so far this Season.. Can aynoe say that Special Teams Coach Booby April has lived up to his hype when he was hired.. I have not seen a real improvement on the Eagles Special Teams as a whole during his time in Philly. He is also one of highest paid Special Teams Coaches in the entire NFL

The LB core is most definitely improved from a season ago…DR has met my expectations of him and then some…When he sacked Flacco and took the Ravens out of field goal range, I think that is the most noise I made while watching the game on Sunday….The plays he was making had me “amped”! Its a little quite at the WILL position, but that’s probably a good thing. One thing concerning is those big runs Rice had right up the middle, but that could be attributed to good play calling by the Ravens…didnt really notice any LB’s showing middle on those runs..Chaney led the team in tackles last season, wouldn’t really consider him a stiff, he makes the LB core a bit deeper in case of injury…

The LBs pass defense looks so much better when you remove two stiffs from the DLine like Patterson and Graham and Chaney and Rolle from from the starting lineup.

I thought so too! LMFAO! I love the dude, but boy was I wrong about that. I thought we needed him at WILL. Dude is a beast. I loved the pick when it happened, & now he looks like a steal.

i believe the best thing that could of happend this week in the arizona pats game was arizona coming out on top. this will make the eagles practice harder and not over look this team as they did last year. this year djac will be in the game (as long as he attends a special team meeting) and i think the eagles will put together a mistake free ( 2 turnovers on offense will be mistake free for me) and let us DIRTY BIRD fans enjoy a stess free game.

But G I thought Kendricks is too short to play SAM?

Hats off to the scouting department and GM for getting Ryans.Kendricks is so instinctive…on several plays on Sunday he was attacking the play while it was developing and i can see why this would make hime a great Will. However his speed is a great fit at Sam given the schemes in this league that stress rb and tightend invovelment in the pass game.

Cant wait to see them matched up against the Cards run game and short routes Eyes on 3-0.

What other match-ups besides Fitz worries you. And Nmnadi actually had a good day on Fitz last year until Jarrett was told to check him.He’s all world but noone else on that offense is a concern.

If the Pats played them 5 more times they’d crush em everytime,im not worried about a team that needed a blocked punt and horrible kick to end the game.My thoughts.Eagles offense destroys there d and Kolb is picked twice.
