I see a lot of nervous eag theres a lot of nervous eagles fans right now. List september, i get it. Carson wentz being out changed everything for this team, and for the city and i actually think nick foles is going to play pretty well but heres the difference. Carson always makes one or two magical plays that ends up being the difference in the game. The type of plays that carson can make no one else can make and certainly nick foles cant do that. With that said, heres what they need to do to get the win because of one has to be tighter. Everyone has to do better. Defensively they have to put measure on matt ryan. If ryan gets consistent time if he gets three seconds or more to sort of surveillance 58 field, do what he does, hits julio jones its over. Eagles are done. Okay. Thats an experienced quarterback who went to the super bowl so if he gets a time, if he gets the rhythm, youre dead. Second thing they need to do is be great in the run game. Last time these two teams played which was last year eagles had over 200 yards on the ground. That has to happen again. So if the eagles get pressure on ryan and can g 150 yards on the ground theyll definitely within this game. Because treiain. All right, sean, thanks. Real life strangerhihia. Well, not exactly.
