[QUOTE="mattwill, post: 324616, member: 866"] Kitten, please feel free to call me matt. One thing the Packers and eagles have in common is that (unlike many of the other Playoffs teams) they both have suffered a lot of injuries and injuries in key places. The one difference has been the timing of those injuries. The Packers experienced more in the early part of the season and the Eagles more in the late part. The Eagles' Defense (especially the DBs) has been particularly hard hit. Given the very high quality and depth of the Packers receivers, that is the area where I see the greatest vulnerability. Further, the greatest strength of the Eagles' D is in defending the run, and after the Packers lost Grant (a huge loss), the running game has become almost non-existent in the Packers' game plan. Further, the general consensus on Rogers is that he thrives when the opposing D tries to pressure him. Therefore I want Sean McDermott to dial back his blitzes big time . . . almost to non-existent. Rush with the Front Four only, with a very heavy push up the middle from the DTs (hopefully contracting the pocket) and the DEs boxing the ends so that Aaron doesn't end up with open running lanes. If there are blitzes, don't blitz from the outside. Blitz up the middle. That means there will be a full deployment in the Back Seven to deal with the Packers' receivers and the Eagles won't be taking a DB out of coverage. I also want a heavy dose of Man coverage. If McDermott dials up lots of Zone coverage (the way he did when Asante Samuel was out injured), Rogers and the Packer receivers will eat the Eagles alive IMHO. They not only need to play Man, but also need to avoid giving cushions. Quick developing Slants were the death knell of the Eagles last year in Round One of the Playoffs. We can't afford a repeat this year. Did that address your question? [/QUOTE]
