Eagles packers play by play8/24/2023 ![]() ![]() This is a great hypothetical and another worthwhile reminder of how fortunate the Eagles were this offseason. Simple, but more helpful than those famous coaching search consultant firms that spend a million dollars to come up with big ideas like, “What about Norv Turner?”Ģ. On the other side, I’d simply say to run the ball when the Eagles are in even fronts and to find ways to attack Josiah Scott in the passing game. When the Packers play zone, they blitz more often than all but one team in the league (36.9 percent of the time). But that chart should be eye candy for Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry, even though his unit ranks 20th in defensive DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average). Then again, the Colts played a higher percentage of man coverage against the Eagles than any opponent this season. This is the Eagles’ last scheduled prime-time game for the remainder of the season, although it’s a good bet that at least one will be flexed. Who’s the Eagles’ biggest threat in the NFC? And which team should they want to see in the postseason?ĥ. Who’s one player who can take his game to a different gear during the final stretch?Ĥ. What would the records of the Eagles and Packers be going into this game had Green Bay acquired Brown and Philadelphia drafted a rookie receiver?ģ. The Packers used their two first-round picks on defensive players and traded two second-round picks to move up to the top of the second round to draft Christian Watson. The Eagles traded a first- and third-round pick for Brown and gave him a $100 million contract. Both went into draft weekend needing help at the position. One clear difference for both the Eagles and Packers this season is the production at wide receiver. If Matt LaFleur called you at the beginning of the week desperately seeking any way to escape Philadelphia with a win and wanted to know the best way to beat the Eagles (on both sides of the ball), what would you tell him?Ģ. In that spirit, I’m curious about your thoughts on these questions I’ve been pondering this week:ġ. The holiday made the schedule a bit hectic this week, and I had one fewer Birds with Friends episode than usual to pick your brain. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs was declared out, as expected. The Packers enter the game with tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) questionable, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell (knee) doubtful and cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) questionable. ![]() He practiced on Friday and said after the session that he felt like a three on a scale of one to 10, but he’d “rather suffer today than Sunday.” He’ll play against the Packers. Brown missed Thanksgiving practice sick in bed with a stomach bug. The Eagles enter this game with a healthy 53-man roster - everyone is eligible to play.
