Agreed, but in this case we are decimated at OL and the secondary.

The coaching staff HAS to step up this week. With all the injuries, and guys playing hurt still, the players can only do so much when they're best just isn't out there. Gruden and the offensive staff HAVE to figure out a way to get points on the board Sunday, and the defensive coaches HAVE to figure out how to stop Elliott and running game. HAVE to win Sunday at home to have any chance of a winning season. Eagles fell off down the stretch last year...they may fall off some again with 2 key injuries they sustained Monday night. This is where this team, coaches and players, HAVE to make a statement...and show that how they played in their 3 game winning stretch IS who this team is going forward.

while the eagles backfield isnt Zeke, we played the run pretty decent on monday - my issue is sacking the qb - Dak is as mobile as wentz and we have ALWAYS struggled with contain on the qb - granted, we arent the only team, but we get severely burned on plays where the qb breaks contain, we lost the chiefs game on a similar play, and gave up points to the sheagles on a similar play week 1... i hate dallas, and all the players they have, i really hope we find a way to step this effing thing up because i really feel like our vanilla ass defense just gets burned every week unless we overmatch an OL ... and that isnt often. IMO 100% MUST cintinue to get MORE creative on D - period.
