MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL - September 27 - PHI +3.5 at DAL
-
After blowing out Atlanta to open the year (W, 32-7), Hurts and the new-look Eagles’ offense appeared to be flying high as they traveled back to the City of Brotherly Love for their second matchup of the season against San Francisco.
Things didn’t unravel quite as accordingly during their sloppy Week 2 performance against the Niners though (L, 17-11), as the Eagles had six points taken off the board early due to Jalen Reagor stepping out of bounds on a long touchdown catch – and they also had a short field goal blocked immediately following a 91-yard reception by Quez Watkins.
On the other hand, Dallas split a pair of tightly contested road matchups to start the new season, as the Cowboys dropped their opener in Tampa Bay on a last-second field goal by Ryan Succop (L, 31-29) – and then flipped the script in Los Angeles following week, as Greg Zuerlein drilled a 56-yard game-winner to seal a narrow victory over the Chargers in Week 2 (W, 20-17).
I’ll take the over here, as the Eagles shouldn’t have too much trouble finding success against a Cowboys defense that ranked 28th in scoring and 23rd in overall yardage last year (29.6 PPG, 386.4 YPG) – while Dallas looked sharp against a pair of solid defenses to open the season (24.5 PPG, 435 YPG).

Love the Peyton and Eli broadcast. They do drop some great information from a QB perspective.

God damnit, Dak. Terrible route choice and you held it.

These PHI DB's are getting off blocks well

I love being able to digest and see exactly what these two are seeing at the same time.
But a subtle detail I feel Peyton missed (likely the speed of the broadcast. Not like HOF QB's miss much) on that last DAL TD saying he wanted the CB to jam and carry a bit before falling off - Dak just hit you for a big play to Zeke on a read that went flat, hold the safety high, then to the back flat for the throw. So as a DB you're getting soaked up faster than usual about what's happening in front of you because you just had a RB almost house a short catch to the boundary. And as much as I love Zeke, I think Pollard might just be a hair faster. Which is something you have to be aware of as a CB.
So that little release to the boundary flat is meant to hold that CB low. As a CB you know that's usually cheese, the influence route. But since Dak can exploit it, and did on the previous drive, it's in your head to attack that. Kellen Moore with a great play design on, what looks like, some kind of scissor concept to exploit the qtr-qtr half look . (cover 6) Getting the TE to the corner on that leveraged seam/7 route.

When George can match the nickname "honest Abe", then his cherry tree cutting ass will be elevated in the heirarchy of truth.
