Weak Eagles D Must Stop Sorry Pack

The Packers have over the hill Brett Favre at quarterback, along with inexperienced running backs Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn.  Despite being questionable, the Birds defense should be able to stop them.

The Pack's number one receiver Donald Driver practiced for the first time in a good while after sitting out a week with a sprained foot.  He's expected to be back for the game so you can be sure the Packers will be throwing the ball more than running it.   They just picked up Ryan Grant from the Giants and he has never played a game yet for Green Bay.  Jackson and Wynn are both rookies, so expect them rely on the Favre and Driver connection. 

2nd year wide out Greg Jennings has big play speed.  He and Driver are the guys who can cause problems.  The Eagles may have to play some double zone coverages so they can take away the deep threat on both sides.  This makes the front seven somewhat vulnerable against the run.  We'll find out a lot about the Birds run defense against the Pack.  If they can't stop Green Bay's running game with all of their rookie backs, the Birds run defense is in for another long year.

The key to stopping Green Bay's passing attack will be putting pressure on Favre.  If they can pressure him, he'll throw interceptions.  Although Mike McCarthy has brought some discipline to Favre, he still likes to throw some balls up for grabs. 

That brings us to the Eagles defensive line, which is led by big money defensive end Jevon Kearse. Jevon had news for Birds fans yesterday, he said he's a 100% but it's not the same 100% that he used to be.  Now what does that mean.  It means there'll be a guy on the field with the same name as the guy whom the Eagles signed with about a $20 million dollar bonus, but that guy is no longer capable of the same type of play as the guy they signed. 

Kearse hasn't even put his foot on the field, yet he's already lowering the expectation.  I surely hope he's ready to play, but I have to admit I doubt it.   If I were running the Eagles defense, I would have a quick hook on Jevon, and I'd get Juqua Thomas and Victor Abiamiri on the field.

You can believe the Packers will be throwing the ball to their backs on Chris Gocong's side at least five to ten times during the game.  All the Eagles oponents are going to do it until he proves that he can tackle somebody in the open field.

You're also going to see the Packers test Sean Considine's tackling with runs off the corner to get their backs matched up against him.

Thanks for the advice on credit repair on this excellent site. Some tips i would tell people should be to give up this mentality that they may buy currently and fork out later. Being a society many of us tend to make this happen for many issues. This includes vacation trips, furniture, along with items we’d like. However, you’ll want to separate your current wants out of the needs. If you are working to boost your credit score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you’ll be able to shop online to save cash or you can look at second hand merchants instead of high-priced department stores pertaining to clothing.
