Why Aaron Rodgers Went Into That Mysterious Tent On ‘Monday Night Football’
For at least a week, the Green Bay Packers have kept their playoff hopes alive, knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles 27-13 on Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. He talked about how so many of his players are in their first or second years.
The Packers exploited that on their next drive, which went 75 yards and put the Eagles behind, 24-13, with just under 14 minutes left to play.
But much of the chatter afterwards centred on Rodgers’ injury, but Green Bay Center Corey Linsley said he wasn’t even aware that Rodgers had problem – and he thought the quarterback went under cover for another reason. Give him the completion. Randall, however, at times looked quicker breaking on the ball in coverage than the other Packers’ cornerbacks, especially on his one pass breakup in the game, on a third down in the fourth quarter.
We’ve all had those moments. So, they’re ahead of schedule because Wentz has taken every snap. The crowd wants you to do something. We knew this was going to be a hard stretch for our football team. In the middle of it Pederson spoke of averting a tanking situation in the last five games of the season. Was it Chris Webber calling a timeout MI didn’t have late in the NCAA Tournament title game?
Philadelphia played without starting running back, Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles was suffering from bruised ribs he sustained last week against the Seahawks.
The Eagles next drive stalled thanks in part to a long screen to Darren Sproles being called back due to penalty.
The teams last met on October 14th, 2012.
How should the Eagles fix their shortage of quality receivers this offseason?
The “Ax Man” manned the middle of one of most ferocious defenses of the modern football era for the Eagles for a decade. In this week’s National Football League power rankings roundup, the Eagles were slotted as high as No. 17 and as low as No. 24. “I don’t think it’s just for next year. And they just flat-out made some plays”. Cobb throws a picture-perfect cut block on Eagles S Malcolm Jenkins (27), chopping him to the ground and making Starks’ decision to cut back an easy one for a third-down conversion. Philadelphia tied the game at 7. He has four sacks and forced a fumble while knocking down two passes. For fans of recency bias, Houston is averaging just 19.25 points per game in their last four games, resulting in a 2-2 record; (1-1 on the road and 1-1 at home, plus a two-game losing streak).
The team has a lot of work to do.
Green Bay was 10 for 14 (71 percent) on third down conversions and was successful on its lone fourth-down conversion, which came in the aforementioned drive. But the end of the day, it’s about getting the first down and him being smart with it. Speaking for most of the men watching the game, thank you, Aaron.
The Eagles’ strength this season has certainly been its aggressive defense, but even that has failed in recent weeks.
