The Eagles don't blitz as much as people think, they're just more effective when they do in fact blitz.

I don't think Samuels is shaky when he's out on an island. I think Samuels gets a lot of undeserved flak and Jansen doesn't get enough (although he played well today).

I too get nervous when Portis isn't in the backfield in pass protection. Betts has improved over the years in pass protection (he used to be horrible), but he's nowhere near as good as Portis.
