Don't want to get ahead of ourselves but...

Noticed in last night's game that the Eagles IDL absolutely dominated the Falcons' interior OL, which everyone knew would be a weakness but nobody could've predicted that beatdown in the trenches. This ultimately led to Ryan having to leave the pocket on most plays and even got him scared and running out of the pocket when there wasn't any pressure up the middle. This was huge for the Eagles D and the main reason Ryan struggled. The Eagles' DEs (including mine and @Nails favorite young DE Barnett) actually struggled most of the game.

I think this will be a crucial factor in our games against them (first one coming up next week). KK and now Poe in the fold should be able to do the same thing the Eagles did, and we should be able to control the trenches despite some question marks at DE. As you saw, Julio got his (which he likely will against us too) but it didn't even really help the Falcons ultimately. Focus on pressure up the middle with DEs cleaning up, and shutting down the run game and we should be able to easily handle their O.

After watching last night I honestly have very little concern about the Falcons in the divisional race this year. Aints are a different story but seeing that weakness of the 28-3's made me feel a lot better--the loss and Neal injury help too...
