Philadelphia is much better at stopping the run than the pass and that will no doubt be their key for this game on defense. If we can get a ground game going, that should frustrate them a little and open it up for play action passes down the field. No turnovers.

Defense:

No doubt we have to take Westbrook out of the game, or at least limit his production as best as possible. He is the main threat, along with McNabb getting out of the pocket and getting some cheap first downs with his feet. Stop (limit) Westbrook, pressure and contain McNabb, and we should have a good day on defense. Oh, and a turnover or two will help as well.

Special Teams:

What is up with Derrick Frost? He needs to get it going. Field position will be another key. He was great for the first few games, but has not been great as of late. Hopefully he won't get many opportunities, but if he does, we can't afford to give McNabb and Co. a short field. Pin 'em deep.


If we can get all this accomplished

Skins 27
Eagles 16

I saw your spill on Frost and looked up his numbers and he is ranked 11th in the NFL. He is not our big concern and has shown big improvements over the past 2 years. He is ranked 4th for getting them down behind the 20 yard line.
