dockeryfan Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Do you still think GB has the best front seven in the league? GB shut down the Eagles offensively. The Giants on a gimpy Eli put up a very good effort in the first half. The game kind of got away from them in the second half, but they were able to move the ball well when the game was still in the balance. So the question remains to all the Philly fans that said they have the best front seven in football. Did GB defense just have a average game against the Giants? Or was Philly just that inconsistent on offense. We will see tonight. Here's to the Eagles offense laying another egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one who thinks their front 7 is good - don't believe I ever said BEST front 7 (kind of doubt more than 1 or 2 Philly fans said that). And, take away the one 2-play drive NY had and I thought GB did an excellent job - 13 points on the road will get you the win most of the time. If Skins hold Philly to 13 tonight, they'll easily win the game. That being said, McNabb and Philly's OL didn't have a good game last week, no matter the opponent. They'll have to play better tonight to be able to beat the Skins. PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgun88 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The Eagles would have won if they didn't fumble those 2 punt returns. And I don't think GB has the best front 7 in the league. They weren't getting any pressure on Manning until late in the game last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think GB has the best front 7 in the league. They weren't getting any pressure on Manning until late in the game last night. That's my point. Manning had time, and McNabb didn't. So was it the O-line of Philly? My answer is, yes, but only in part. Phillys o-line wasn't great, but the GB defense also just didn't respect the receivers at all. They were forcing McNabb to beat them with pressure in his face, and McNabb wasn't up to the task. I hope to god that G Williams does this. Pressure McNabb and take away his safety valve in Westbrook. Make the other players step up and make plays. Make it hard on McNabb and Westbrook..

It wasn't you in particular, but it has been the flavour of excuse I've gotten from Philly fans this week. That it was more of GB being so good rather than Philly being so bad.

I see what you are saying. GW should lock Rocky on Westbrook for the whole game. He should send some safety blitz packages also. I mean look who McNabb has to throw to......nobody. If we pressure him he is done, because he can run worth **** now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky can not keep up with Westbrook. Saying McNabb has noone to throw too is looking at the matchups with blinders. LJ, Brown, Avant and Curtis might not be the equivalent of Indy or NE's receivers, but they are respectable. And, #5 is most successful when he gets 3-4 catches to at least 5 receivers.

I do not believe the Redskins front 4 can consistently apply pressure to McNabb. They will have to blitz, IMO. If the Eagles are able to pick them up, then McNabb should be able to exploit them. If he doesn't, it'll certainly help the Skins out quite a bit. It's no secret that beating McNabb requires in-his-face pressure, along with decent to good coverage. It should be interesting.

Rocky doesn't need to cover him when he's lined up out wide. He needs to stay on him when he fakes his block and catches a screen. Westbrook needs to be punished every time he tries to block. They need to wear him down physically. He evades full on hits very well and ducks out of bounds. Make him take the brunt of it when he's "blocking".

reggie_brown86 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The Giants scored 13 points just like the Eagles did. They didn't fair any better. Greenbay may have the top dline in the NFL, but they are certainly better than the Redskins defensive line. The Skins line is one of the worst in the NFL, and I would expect they don't get much pressure, unless they blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Eagles offense, not so much the GB defense. Oh yeah, and your boy Reggie Brown had yet another horrible game. Good times. :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfos81 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The Redskins D is back to that man to man style BnR D w/ blitzing from different angles. Nobody(except the blind homers like myself :laugh: ) expected us to win and WE DID, nobody expected our D to keep Mcnabb from throwing ANY TDS and we did. 1 division foe down and the Giants will be the next!
