Moderatoren » Previewing the Eagles’ offense vs Vikings’ defense

The once proud Minnesota Vikings’ defense has fallen from it’s historic 2017 regular season performance due to a number of factors Cheap Shareef Miller Jersey , but is it enough for the banged up Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles’ offense to exploit?The Eagles have made adjustments to their lineup, whether due to performance or injury, before every game this season. The newest tinker includes a shake-up at left guard, where Isaac Seumalo will supplant the struggling Stefen Wisniewski.Considering the issues with pass protection against stunts and blitzes the coaching staff decided it best to try a new configuration. We’ll know right away if those problems persist against a Vikings team that frequently utilizes a double mug look that has confused the Eagles. It’s not just the line missing these pick-ups, it’s the running backs as well, but with Corey Clement still nursing a quad injury a switch at left guard may not be enough.That’s not to say that the Vikings pass rush has been a bulldozer. Over the last three weeks they’ve barely scrapped 30% pressure rates after hanging a 50-burger on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. If they get closer to that Week 1 performance, it might be time to hit the panic button. That’s not something I was expecting to say about this line only five weeks into the season.Beyond the pass rush, the Vikings’ secondary has been gashed for big plays in the air due to some shaky secondary play. Xavier Rhodes has not looked like his usual shutdown self and the rest of the unit isn’t holding their end of the bargain.We broke down how the Eagles can attack the Vikings in the newest Kist & Solak Show; stream it on the media player below or click here if the player doesn’t load.

He did eventually go down with an injury, but before then Wentz was a legitimate MVP candidate, dominating in all phases of the game. He was sensational on third-down plays that year, where he led all quarterbacks in passing grade (93.3), big-time throws (15), yards per attempt (9.5) and passer rating (123.7). Since 2006, only one quarterback has achieved a higher three-year overall PFF grade (in their first three seasons) than Wentz’s 82.7 mark. A knack for accuracy has fueled that grade Womens Jalen Mills Jersey , with Wentz improving from a 15th-ranked adjusted completion percentage of 74.8 in 2016 to a fourth-best rate of 78.7% in 2018.Nine thoughts on the Carson Wentz contract, including why the Eagles made the right call - BGNPrescott is a quality game manager type who greatly benefits from being able to hand off to an elite running back like Ezekiel Elliott. He’s not a quarterback who’s going to put the Cowboys and on his back and help Dallas succeed in spite of tremendous adversity. He’s a quarterback you win with ... not win because of. Prescott’s shortcomings were on full display during the 2017 season. the blinking they’ve forced franchises in comparable situations (Rams, Cowboys) to do with their quarterbacks at this stage. At the least, though, Philadelphia made a move on Thursday that slightly deviated from the standard highway billboard. This one was worth popping out of the car to take a look at for a moment.The Eagles Have Everything Set Up - DeadspinThe Eagles’ long-term commitment to Wentz has the distinction of being smart and a no-brainer. Wentz isn’t just the centerpiece of the Eagles’ grand plan, he’s the fulfillment of it.Super Bowl window wide open right now for Carson Wentz and Eagles - NBCSPThe obvious takeaway from that list is that the offense is stacked. Imagine if the top three picks from this past draft class pan out. The Eagles would have found the guy to protect Wentz’s blindside for the next decade and two weapons who will thrive during his prime.The other takeaway is that the Eagles might need to start drafting more defensive players at premier spots. But as far as Wentz is concerned, his offense is loaded with talent.Having a quarterback taking up such a big chunk of the salary cap makes it harder to build a team around him. But with the four-year extension, Wentz’s six-year average per year is actually under $26 million per season. There’s a chance this deal ends up becoming a bargain if he turns back into the guy we saw for most of 2017. That was also the guy who had the Eagles in position to make their Super Bowl run.Jets hire Joe Douglas as their new general manager - Gang Green NationHopefully for the Jets this is a turning point. This has been a long and erratic offseason for the franchise. There were many points where it did not seem like a coherent plan was in place to build a winner starting at the ownership level. Nurturing a championship level organization isn’t easy. Hiring Joe Douglas won’t be akin to waving a magic wand that will bring the guarantee of Lombardi Trophies. But it does feel like an important step forward. This is the first time in quite a while where I can say I am genuinely hopeful after the direction of the New York Jets.How the contract extension for Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz affects the future for Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff - Turf Show TimesThe Wentz deal likely sets the floor for those deals, though I’ve seen some suggest Wentz’s deal could be stronger than Prescott’s. That’s not generally how these things work Brandon Graham Jersey , so I’d be surprised if Prescott is willing to accept “less” than Wentz. It probably ends up being about the specifics of the deal and how much is front-laden especially in terms of guarantees and performance bonuses. For Goff, it absolutely has to be a floor to negotiate from. Both Goff and Wentz share the same representation in REP1 (who also represents Rams backup Blake Bortles). Certainly, Goff will be asking for more given his lack of injury history and having just carried his team to the Super Bowl.Ask a former NFL player: What’s the value of a running back today? - SB NationThat being said, there’s no value in having a highly paid running back if you don’t have a quarterback and offensive line in place beforehand. Even then, I’m not sure you should ever pay a running back past their rookie contract because of three things. First, passing the ball is more important than rushing the ball. You can’t deny the data, and passing efficiency is the most important stat that correlates to winning a game. Having an expensive running back doesn’t fit the overall team needs....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio
