The defense must play better than they did today for the Eagles to have any chance of getting to the playoffs and having success.
The only defensive lineman who was doing anything to day was Trent Cole. He was putting pressure on Jason Campbell all by himself, until the Redskins started doing a better job of double teaming him.
Cole had the only sack of the game for the Birds.
Asante Samuel made a couple of big plays in the game as he jumped two Washington short pass routes and picked Campbell’s pocket. I think he jumps routes better than anybody else in the history of the NFL.
Still he has his limitations and employs some of the worst tackling fundamentals I’ve ever seen.
The Eagles must execute much better on third down. They couldn’t get the Skins off the field on third down and it plagued them all afternoon.
Washington was 8-17 on third down despite playing with an offensive line made up of backups.
You could see that Sheldon Brown is playing through an injury. He didn’t look like he was moving well.
Macho Harris doesn’t impress me with his coverage skills or his tackling ability.
Despite the defense’s poor play, I do give them credit for stopping the Skins on the last drive, afterall it did secure the win for the Birds.
My spouse and i felt now fortunate that Emmanuel could conclude his investigation out of the ideas he gained in your web page. It’s not at all simplistic to just choose to be giving freely information that many other folks have been selling. And we all figure out we have the website owner to be grateful to for that. The explanations you have made, the simple site menu, the friendships you can give support to engender – it’s got everything fabulous, and it’s really facilitating our son and the family feel that the idea is enjoyable, and that is incredibly important. Thank you for all the pieces!
