Reasoning? Our secondary fukking sucks right now. Nate Allen and Boykin are our only shining folk in tha secondary. That nikka from tha saints go have to step it up fo real.

you think Non Tackling Nate is a bright spot? The defense didnt give up alot of points last year so why do you think they would this year? PPG the Eagles were middle of the pack. The problem is the eagles give up alot of yards ( which can result in points but luckily it didnt) I think Jenkins from the Saints is a good fit for their scheme..and he has to be WAY better than Chung. The defense in year 2 should play and know the calls without thinking about it...so its all reaction. I think the Linebacking play will be better this year. Look they aint never gonna be the Seahawks defense but they can probably be "decen to good" and the offense will do its thing..they will be fine

2nd year in this offense is going to be fun to watch. our 12 personnel is going to cause havoc.

I think Matthews by end of season will pass up Cooper in terms of pecking order. He is going to destroy nicklebacks when blocking and on pass plays.

Losing Djax hurts, but I think we will be ok. Especially if Ertz is developing as advertised.

Looking forward to this season fellas

Chip doesnt run 12...he uses 11 but I agree...I think Matthews will end up being a steal as a second rounder and as long as Ertz can contribute as a blocker he will see more time on the field. Also remember in 2012 for the brief time they played together Foles had great chemistry with Maclin

Nate Allen isnt one of our shining players in the secondary. Jenkins just come over & is already better then Nate. The only think Jenkins needs to clean up is his tackling. But Billy seemed to help Nate with his tackling mistakes. So i dont see how it cant work for Jenkins.

Our safety play was the biggest reason our corners looked worse then they were. Having a savvy vet & good cover safety in Jenkins with Nate who isnt that good but solid & doesnt make a lot of mistakes. That should really help improve our defense. Plus its another year in the same defensive system. So everybody knows their roles & where they should be. So i expect the defense to be a lot more smoother less mistakes.

Also our pass rush as to be better to help out our corners. Because there were some games where our corners did their jobs. But we couldnt get pressure on the QB & you cant keep a WR covered all day. So QBs were able to wait for a window to open & picked us apart. Our D line & OLBs have to step up just as much or more then our safeties & corners.

50. Nick Foles, QB, Philadelphia

There seem to be two schools of thought on Foles. The first is that he was a prospect of moderate renown heading into the pros who managed to hit the jackpot, having learned under Andy Reid and now Chip Kelly. He’s parlayed this into a role in which he basically can’t fail, needing only to count and execute simple reads before making safe throws to open receivers, who do most of the work for Foles after the catch. The second school is actually located inside of a Wawa in South Philly. It holds that Foles’s numbers are so incredible that you cannot possibly doubt for a single second that he’s one of the premier young quarterbacks in football and, with two years to go on a four-year, $2.8 million contract, one of the best trade chips in the game. (They’re also very skeptical when I suggest Foles might not really be the best quarterback in football like his numbers indicate. “But you like stats!” they say, as if all stats are created equal and are of the exact same validity.)

Here’s what I know: Foles isn’t going to throw interceptions on 0.6 percent of his passes again. He’s going to miss DeSean Jackson, because for whatever benefit Jeremy Maclin and Zach Ertz offer, they’re not the same sort of receiver Jackson was, and there’s not an obvious deep threat on the roster. For whateverrevisionist history is going around about how the Eagles knew Foles was special, Kelly chose Michael Vick to start ahead of Foles in training camp last season, and it didn’t seem to be a particularly difficult decision for him to make. Foles is a dab hand who does a good job of avoiding dangerous throws, and he’s good enough for the Eagles to win, but the system is the star here, not the quarterback. Foles could have a Pro Bowl–caliber season or he could be buried deep behind Mark Sanchez — or another quarterback who isn’t even on the roster — this time next year.

im sick to my stomach with people acting like Nick Foles is just some system QBack. He went 27-2....u dont just do that. I think he takes ANOTHER step forward this year, and while he wont have that same ratio of interceptions to TDs, that offense as a whole is going to take another step, and probably play faster then they did last year now that they have another offseason to put things into place

If our defense can also take a step, get sharper, we're a sleeper SB contender

I think he will get Ertz and Celek in there at same time more than last year due to Ertz's familiarity with playbook and improved blocking. Last year we ran alot of 11 with Avant motioning in the slot to just off RT in order to block because Avant was a better blocker than Ertz at the time. (LOL, btw when u think about that)

Also, remember Chip had James Casey out there playing the H-back role in some plays. I'm expecting him to get cut being that he's a TE3 making $3M+

Ertz may not end up a Graham/Gronk type level TE, but maybe put up Jordan Cameron level numbers in this offense.

I agree and disagree with your assessment of Ertz..I dont think he will be Gronk/Graham but I think he is better than Jordan. He is silly athletic for a ...you know
Ertz, like 99% of the really good TE, is a former basketball player..he actually had to be talked out of basketball to concentrate on football. I thought JC was going to be cut to, but JC is a special teams ace and Chip really values that. Unless Brahman and Maragos- come in and clearly supplant Casey as the ST ace, then he stays...I think Chip likes keeping 3-4 TE on the roster.

Djax won't be as big of a deal because this is a run based offense

He also disappears for long stretches in many games Skins fans will soon see if he finishes the whole season

J.Matthews will beast in this league and Shady with Sproles feasting underneath

Offense is not the issue

Defense is where the improvement needs to happen

On the line in the middle and how the corners perform

That + the O-line maintaining will/should = 10-6 without major injuries

Low end 8-8

High end 12-4
