Quote:Jags running game might be a big factor in one.

If Jags O-line can start getting push on a fairly weak Eagles D, then I think the Jags can keep it close with a shot to actually win it late.

Stay with me here:

1. effective running keeps a lot of pressure off Henne's shoulders

2. Running it keeps the clock winding and shortens the game

3. It wears Eagles D down, keeping Jags D a little fresher

4. Keeps Eagles offense on the bench longer, limiting them to fewer possessions than normal.


I can see Jax trying to force the running game. If the O-line, Gerhart, and some D-Rob sprinkled in can be successful (along with some D-Rob pressure on Foles), this could be a close one.


Of course, it could go the other way with a couple costly INTs and blown coverages, resulting in an Eagles track meet. But, I surely hope not.


Pound the rock,, wear them down,, keep Foles/McCoy on the bench,, run that clock.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
