Nice clip 44. They can call all the players meetings they want. Pressure Vick and he WILL make mistakes and we WILL get TO's.

Kerrigan/Orakpo will make the difference this time around.

Can't wait for this game to get here! It's been said, but the biggest thing is not to allow 60-80 yd TD's. If they get a long pass or run, that's ok actually, just make them earn the TD in the trenches. They can be stopped there. Anyone know the breakdown of their scores (curious really) between over 30yd plays, and <15 yd plays. I am guessing a very high percentage of their TD's come from quick strike plays, if so, we just can't let the endzone be there final destination.

edit: looked up the stats myself, I was kinda off, but still think it's valid:

TDs
<10yds 7 (most on screen passes, that I think our D is designed to stop, again here our front 7 can be very effective)

<20 3 ( the 10 to 19yd line scares me because all the threats are available and a seam would be exploitable - course maybe Vicks Ribs get roughed up)

>20yds 3, plus one defensive fumble return for 46yds.

But the FG's they've made kinda side with the point I was thinking:

<25yds (or inside the 8) 3 - I don't see their offense punching it in. Even the short TDs often were 2yd passes, and we can defense those

<35yds(9 - 18 yd line) 5 - or 8 total redzone possessions that ended in FG's compared to 10 TD's. I don't know how many possessions ended with no points

>35yd, 1 FG. that's surprising.

Vick certainly looks beaten mentally as well as physically. He seems to have lost hope in himself and his "dream team". I think he can go either way at this point, if allowed, he can reassert himself and find new life or if we can get to him early, we can take whatever life is left in him and the Eagles this season. It's so important for us to strike first this game.

Agreed. Not a fan of Vick for many, many reasons, but he is not the reason the Eagles are failing. He's not helping matters with some untimely INT's and fumbles. Throw in the pouting and he is doing his fair share to the total fail. In many ways, Vick is the same player he has always been - some amazing feats of athleticism, some great performanes followed by very average (or worse) performances with some poor decision making thrown in for good measure.

At the same time, their O-Line sucks, their LB's suck and their DC appears to be in over his head. I am hoping that the wheels of the car are coming off and that they are not just circling the wagons to fight it out through the end of the season.

I read somewhere that the Eagles last couple opponents were not known for getting pressure and the Eagles O-Line was stilled over matched. Here's hoping that Kerrakpo simply overwhelm them.

Hiring Juan Castillo as a DC was a head-scratcher. The last time the guy had any experience coaching defense was at the high school level. Literally. And suddenly he's running the D of a team that has Super Bowl aspirations heading into the season? WTF? I don't get that at all.

The loss of JJ hit that organization hard. JJ was the man, Dick Lebeau-like

I heard Haslet say he knew him and he played LB in college, but....he had never heard of a switch like that either and it would take time. Does seem pretty strange.

Hightower and Cooley are questionable. Looks like Torain might be starting afterall.

It's a privilege to have a guy like this on the team. I expect greatness from him.
