Redskins Vs Eagles: Fletcher Cox guarantees Eagles win

Repeat the trick Saturday in Philadelphia and Washington wins the NFC East. Talib Babb on we got here. At best the changes are a work in progress. Defending NFL rushing champion Murray doesn’t fit. After last-place finishes in six of the last seven years, Washington is closing in on clinching a playoff berth.

The Washington Redskins flopped in their last bid to take control of the NFC East, but they can wrap up the division title with a victory at the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night. At 7-7 and in the lead of the NFC East, there is a lot to like about this football team and its starting quarterback.

Regardless of how you feel about yesterday afternoon’s news that the Eagles had released DeSean Jackson, you woke up with a odd feeling this morning. “He had played more snaps this game than he had all season, and right at the end of the game he suffered a high-ankle sprain, so that obviously doesn’t look good”, Ryan said. “It essentially is nearly a playoff game”.

Contract talks between Cousins and the Redskins have not reached advanced stages but he is due a hefty raise over the $660,000 he is making this season. Last week, he had no catches in the first half, then had a 45-yard pass-interference play that was big for us. They’re going to show up and do the same thing. We’ll see how it goes. This is something Kerrigan has been particularly good at his entire career and could be a factor against the Eagles. 429 winning percentage. The opposition has converted 5 of 7 (.714) on fourth down.

Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox won’t remind anyone of Namath, and Saturday’s Eagles-Redskins game is far from a Super Bowl-caliber matchup.

“Inside, I definitely will be going insane in my mind”, Jackson said about playing his former team “but I don’t want to make it a bigger game than what it already is”. And Washington doesn’t just have Jackson – They have also been effectively getting the ball in the hands of TE Jordan Reed, as well as receivers Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder. And I think once we get to that, we need some nasty coaches. We didn’t tackle well. TE Zach Ertz had 15 catches for 115 yards in loss at Washington last December….

With Byron Maxwell not practicing this week due to a shoulder injury, it’s possible that Jackson could line up at times against Eric Rowe, a rookie cornerback.

At this point, it might be easier to just list which players on the Buffalo Bills’ roster are healthy.

Note: This article was written on March 29th, 2014, the day after the Eagles cut their ties with DeSean Jackson. The Eagles differential, by comparison is minus-44, which certainly hasn’t been helped by the fact they’re a whopping minus-75 over their last five games.

Running on Empty: The Redskins rank 28th in the league in run defense and allow an average of 4.9 yards per carry.

“We know what our identity is, it’s just sometimes we do it, sometimes we don’t”, said linebacker Connor Barwin. “We know as players we’re special to one another, so the next thing we’ve got to do is make sure we keep showing it on the field”. We get paid millions and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
