Philly is not a running team but Westbrook can kill you....we almost lost that.
Most of the other teams are pass teams...we play well against them.

Bottom line is I dont think we would do as well if teams ran on us more.
I think Andre Carter can easily be exposed in the running game. He plays on the defensive right or the offensive left side.

If they are not attacking the left side as you say in the running game it may be poor gameplanning.
Yes, Carter has more name recognition that phillip daniels, but daniels is way better against the run....Carter can be exposed. Also, it really depends on which is the strong side...if the offensive strong side is also to the left, the WLB is Rocky....and that means serious speed and good tackling....I would avoid running to Rocky's side.

We did not almost lose to the eagles that game was one-sided the score doesnt indicate how lopsided that game really was.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.
