Was coming in to post this.

Star, quietly, is a major component to this defense.

People always want to judge by stats, but stats never tell the whole story, especially for a player like Star.

You have to have an eye for what really happens in football to understand what he brings.

If anything our OL is supposed to be good at run blocking. Pretty much everyone knows when any team is going to run. 

To be fair, teams early on were convinced Newton couldn't get the ball downfield - and they were right - so they only had to defend a ten yard area.

I get the feeling that changes going forward.

The entire o line will have to have a big game tonight and keep fletcher cox away from cam because he looks to be seriously pumped up to play in this game. Makes me nervous. 

 

Also we will have to pay close attention to agholor and barner because we typically struggle with the shifty fast guys and not so much the blounts of the league. 

 

Pressure on Wentz will be critical and good o line play will lead us to victory

The interior of that OL is always a good choice for unsung heroes. Trai Turner gets some well-deserved love periodically, but usually they are pretty overlooked. Larsen filling in for Ryan Kalil has been doing incredibly well. Andrew Norwell is an unsung legend. He's just one of the toughest and meanest guys on the field whether it's a game or practice.

Eagles will be likely focused on KB and Funchess so I think this game could be a bit of a break out game for Curtis Samuel and another big receiving game for CMC. Cam will be looking Dickson quite a bit who is filling in nicely for Olsen. No matter how dangerous defenses thought Olsen was, Cam always seemed to find him and I'm thinking that Dickson will be able to do much of the same thing.

On defense, Star makes everyone else on that line better without much attention. I don't think that Bradberry gets a lot of respect, but He'll do a good job shutting down whoever he covers and i think on the other side either Worley picks things up (which I doubt) or Seymour makes a name for himself. Jarius Byrd may make some noise as well. Shaq is another who is starting to come into his own. I think on a big stage and against a high powered offense like the Eagles, our defense will have plenty of opportunities to shine, which I think they will.

Oh....and Luke is absolutely going to have a redemption game. He won't follow a mistake ridden bad game (for him) with anything less than a textbook example of how the game should be played.

Cam is going to show that no matter what you do to prepare for this offense, it isn't enough.
