Here we go! This should be a fun one, let’s dig in…

To The Game!

Commanders/Eagles:

-Is Hurts at full strength? Is the Tush Push a viable play right now?

-It remains to be seen if Quinn’s D can somehow force Philly away from the running game so that Hurts has to beat Washington with his arm. Speaking of, where has A.J. Brown been? He has only 3 catches for 24 yards in the playoffs so far. Have teams taken him out or has he not been needed?

-Jalen Carter is having an Aaron Donald-esque run so far. The one guy that has handled him, right guard Sam Cosmi, (no sacks or hits, just two pressures) is out.

-It’ll be referenced up the wazoo but labeling Jaden Daniels as a rookie seems a waste of time. He just doesn’t have those attributes. (lack of poise, happy feet, bad mental errors, etc.)

-Philly has only given up 30 points to two teams this year, the Bucs and the Commies.

-Saquon has 6 TD’s of 60+ yards this year, that’s two more than anyone else has accomplished. His ypc average in the first half of games is a healthy 4.7. As he probes and finds weaknesses and starts breaking off longer and longer runs his 2nd half average blossoms to 6.8. He reminds me of a young Chris Johnson in that those breakaway runs are just a matter of time. Perhaps the more apt comparison (body type and playoff contributions-wise) is John Riggins.

-Washington ranked 30th vs the run and gave up 105 yards and two scores to Gibbs last week.

-Both teams made bettors happy this year, going 12-6-1 vs the spread.

-The Eagles have won 14 of their last 15 at home.

-DOINK! Alert: Philly’s Jake Elliot has missed three point after’s in two playoff games and during the season he was 1 of 7 from 50+ yards.

Have at it.
