I think Spags is going to show pressure early in this one. Hurts is bottom tier when pressured. Spags might send a two or three blitzes after the first PHI drive. See if he can rattle him, especially since it's Hurts' first SB, and he's going to have some early game jitters. See if he can't generate either a quick 3-and-out or a turnover in the first half.
Offensively, obviously we all expect to see some screens early. But I think we might see some TE/WR screens more than RB screens early on, because Andy would have to expect PHI to be looking for screens to McKinnon, so why not make McKinnon the distraction and go the other way to either Skyy or Toney (obviously Kelce will likely get a screen pass or two at some point)?
I'm really interested to see if Andy spends any time trying to get the running game going early. My gut says probably not, but it might be pretty effective early.
