For me I think we’re catching them at the wrong time. Wylie is hurt, Biadasz left the Steelers game with an ankle injury, Coleman is banged up, Lucas has been out, Allen and Ferrell are out on the DL, Jayden looks not 100%, no Lattimore, no Seibert, etc. Short week after a physical game with Pittsburgh is tough while the Eagles are getting Mailata back and had a scrimmage against the Cowboys. I don’t know if that’s a loser attitude but I think playing Pittsburgh and Philly back to back on a short week is tough, plus Philly already had their Bye week.
The other component is there’s an ESPN article that essentially said Sirianni was saved from himself by his offensive linemen. Essentially it reads that after the Bucs debacle, his OL went into his and told them to run the ball. Since that meeting, they’ve gone 5-0 and their carries per game went from 30 to 40. Washington has had trouble stopping the run, mainly I suspect due to having to play a lot of 2-high safety looks since their DBs are ass and they don’t want to get burned. Almost feels like a pick your poison game tonight — stack the box to stop Saquon and force Hurts to beat you with his arm which leaves AJ Brown and Devonta Smith in single coverage looks vs our overmatched secondary or keep having support for the secondary and try to stop Saquon with a lighter box.
With Barkley and our secondary, Mismatch City.
