FYI - the person that's being slept on that I'm actually damn worried about? Dallas Goedert.
I do see a matchup issue for us there defensively. If we focus on slowing the run game, we're gonna have some guys out there that aren't ideal in space and Goedert can punish us for that. I feel like he'll have a big game if the Eagles win it.

It sometimes feels like Chris Simms and Louis Reddick are the only guys who realize the Chiefs front is physical and tough.
It’s not just Jones, either. The upside of Spags DEs is that when you don’t have Bitchmade DEs like Dee Ford, you don’t have to worry about a pretty boy type not doing his job or being regularly WHAM blocked by a slot WR.

Because again, Hurts isn't a dynamic runner.
And they need the threat of his arm to set up the run with him (and Sanders as well). They aren't the powerhouse they're being sold as. And this idea that Hurts needs to only be okay for the rest of the team to just blow past KC is asinine. They need Hurts throwing the ball better than he has of late and if he's not sound and not able to do that, they're in a lot of trouble.

Who are you going to push around? Clark's probably the 'lightest' DE we have. Danna gets pressure from the interior FFS. Dunlap has grown ass man strength. Jones is a wagon, as is Saunders, Nnadi and Williams. Karlaftis has some functional strength he could add but as far as rookies go, find me a sturdier one. And that's to say nothing of probably the best tackler in the game right now in Bolton or a guy in Gay who is the perfect example of 'force = mass*acceleration' as it applies to football. This isn't some soft group. We're a defense built around our offense - we play with light boxes a lot because teams have to throw to keep up with us. And yes, that makes us susceptible to getting beat on the ground at times - because we allow it. If Hurts can't throw, the Eagles can't run on this front, IMO.

A big part of their winning formula this year was not only playing a lot with a lead but their turnover differential. If Hurts makes just one errant pass that gets picked off, their whole gameplan could go out the window. |

Philly beat writers have lost their minds.

Patrick Mahomes: 5.9 YPC Jalen Hurts isn't even a better runner than Patrick Mahomes is. Get outta here with this shit...

The bigger issue is at tackle. Jones is another level this year but Saunders has had as many good plays against the run as bad plays this year. Nnadi has had more bad than good, and just seems beat up. Brandon Williams remains basically Prime Mike Pennel against the run, but he's so one-dimensional Spags barely plays him. I almost don't care about Williams' pass rush. The #1 key to losing this game is to let them run on you, and that's it. Every time I've got two tackles on the field, Williams is my NT #1. But I'm not Spags and that's not how Spags has played him. |

May as well just throw the coaches off the sideline, clearly they don't matter. Its all just players and stats, apparently. |

Goedert can go for 8 catches for 120 so long as we're blanketing Brown and we're filling the run lanes. I think Goedert and Smith are going to pop a few plays, but I don't think they're the reason you lose the Super Bowl. Brown and Hurts are. |
