... i'm gonna sound like a Giants fan here... sorry
what are we gonna do run on them? Tuck, Alford, LB's who tackle well and are very fast. Pass on them? Ross, Madison, Webster, now Phillips (the guy man of us Eagles wanted)... and we need time to throw with Osi and maybe one more year from "the gap tooth"-(our Eagles line is built to open running lanes and give McNabb time for quick hits... not for him to sit back and have time to make reads down the field). My answer is, all the above... throw in some screens, try to keep them off guard... but i don't see a real advantage in any area against them. With our revamped special teams, try to get into a little bit of a field position battle.
I hate to say i think Eli is for real. not as good skill as his brother but he might be about as good as Peyton at managing a game now. Then Plax, Jacobs, Boss, maybe Shockey still, Toomer, Smith... as solid line... again i don't see the advantages.
I know we have Dallas fans on this board (all the time). I think we can run up the middle and right at Zach Thomas (and back ups) with some success. I think LJ Smith healthy gives them match up problems. Westbrook is a match up problem for every team but I think he gives more problems to Dallas/Wash then he does Giants. Then on D against Dallas i feel we can do a good job most of the time containing there run game next year. TO or Witten will go off, just make sure it's one and not both each game.
Skins... advantages across the board, both sides of the ball.
