    Balance of Power: Eagles' Ground Game Fueling Wins

    balance baby, along with great line play & the ability to spread the ball to several targets in the passing game makes the eagles very, very dangerous offensively.

    It's great that they are finally running the ball, but the defense is still a big concern.

    Vs the 49ers the defense was good at getting turnovers but the run defense dident do so well but frank gore always get a 100+ on us.

    a couple of games are really tipping the defensive stats. we are #10 right now but if the defense showed up against the saints and giants they are top 5.

    Frank gore was also the first player to get a 100 yards rushing on us this season. Thats pretty damn good to hold them for 13 games.

    I wonder how much of a factor Westbrook is going to be. I'm hoping with his fresh legs the explosiveness is back.

    it was 24 straight games. which is very impressive for the eagles considering it used to big issue.

    wondering if he will be used very much in the running game ... give him a carry herte or there but put him out on the flats. who the hell are you going to cover as a defense. westbrook ? jackson ? celek ? weaver ? avant? maclin ?

    Hasent played in a while hopefully these 2 games is enough time to get back into rhythm. Just thinking about the possibility's with him back is sick. We already have a good amount of weapons.

    on the subject some more - the balanced attack between the run and pass is paying off. especially in the redzone.

    I want Westbrook getting just a few carries these next couple of weeks, but I want him to be our featured back in the run game during the playoffs. Shady is good, but he's no Westbrook.

    lol gore gets 100+ on everybody, not just y'all.

    Yea the only thing i dont like is when we use eldra buckley in the redzone. Weaver should always be in on goal line carries imo.

    True

    yep, work him into it. by the playoffs we have three very good backs to run the ball and go out on pass patterns.
