I agree. I think he needs to develop that in his game. It will come with time. This isn't necessarily something that Roddy or Tony can teach him. This is something he has to learn amd develop on his own and by watching film of Fitz or even Steve Smith

I honestly think they will play 1 on 1 on the outside. I think those guys have a lot of pride and will take it as a challenge. Ryan really needs to exploit that. I think Roddy vs Cromartie is the best match up there.

Julio should use his quickness against Aso. I think we may see a Safety guard Gonzo and the Linebackers playing run defense.

If we can win those 1 on 1 matchups, then we will bust that defense wide open.

But the way we win is not a consistent thing. A big gainer or two with a lead will give Bowles reason to change things up.

I agree. And that wasn't really a problem for Julio last season. I think he has been effected mentally by his hand injury.

He aggressively goes after the high throws. It's the lower throws he tends to field like a punt instead of blocking the defender with his body and reaching for the ball.

I don't know WTF is going to happen. I see scenarios where we destroy them, they destroy us, we win close or they win close.

I know the media and a lot of fans will flip out if we lose and we will be treated like a 2-5 team if that happens but realistically being 6-1 is still going to be pretty damn good. Alot of people are waiting for us to lose so they can blast us and tell us we suck etc. So even if we lose this one it won't matter.

This right here is exactly what I have seen..

He needs to go after those passes secure the pass yardage first then make the move necessary for the yac. Its like he tries to do both at the same time and ends up going nowhere as a result

Going to be a turnover filled game. Weather will be horrible, probably raining all game with winds over 20 km/h. This won't be the week that Vick cleans up his turnover issues.

God, please let us protect the ball if the weather is a quagmire.

Or in any other flavor of weather, for that matter.

I don't see us getting destroyed, not by this Eagles team.
