Gameday – PHI at SEA

Posted: December 18th, 2023 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | Comments Off on Gameday – PHI at SEA

This is the most confused I’ve felt going into an Eagles game in a long time. The QB is under the weather. There will be a new coach calling the defensive plays. The team will have backups at LB, CB and RG. They’re on the road on a Monday night. And it is a game they absolutely need to win.

In a surprise twist, Geno Smith will start at QB for Seattle. He’s been dealing with a groin injury and was expected to miss the game. We’ll have to see how effective he is. Seattle has 3 QBs active so that tells you they are nervous about him.

Seattle will be down a couple of starters in the seconday (Witherspoon, Adams). We’ll see if the Eagles try to attack them through the air because of that. With Hurts being less than 100 percent, the Eagles could decide this is a game to focus on the run.

With Smith having a groin injury, the Eagles pass rush must get pressure on him. Smith lit up Dallas a few weeks back. He is a talented QB and can make some really impressive downfield throws. If Smith has a clean pocket, the Eagles secondary will be in for a long night.

The secondary will have another member.

Garner has played S and CB. The Eagles are calling him CB so expect him to provide depth behind one of the outside DBs (Bradberry, Ringo).

There is so much to watch tonight. Can the offense put up some points? How will Jalen play?

How will the defense play? Can Shaq Leonard get the job done at LB? How will the CBs do?

And Nick Sirianni’s postgame press conference will be must see TV. It will be really interesting to see how he handles all the Desai questions.

Just go find a way to win. That will make a lot of the negativity go away.
