Eagles won’t take resurgent Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill lightly
The Eagles will host the Miami Dolphins this week and the entire team must move on from such an emotional win.
The Eagles on the other hand are coming into this game as hyped up as they’ve ever been after a 33-27 victory over rival Dallas Cowboys in overtime on the road. 500 – the Dolphins, Bucs and Lions. “Obviously we didn’t play well enough to stop the run, they had a great scheme and they were able to take certain guys out of the play, to get what they wanted, and they made plays”.
The Miami Dolphins, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after two straight defeats. You can check out the reasons why I could see the Dolphins losing over on BGN.
“We’re getting that swagger going”, Matthews told the team’s official website.
The total for Sunday afternoon’s Miami vs. Philadelphia betting matchup is set at 47 points at the sportsbooks. He’s on pace for 100 catches this season and has eight or more grabs in four games and has been key to a Dolphins offenses that appears revamped under interim coach Dan Campbell. The Eagles have won the last three meetings, including the most recent one in 2011 in Miami, 26-10. I mean, I kind of have to after my prediction already pointed to the over.
I just pointed out that the Eagles should be able to run all over the Dolphins, and it’s all going to start with DeMarco Murray.
4th down: The Eagles run defense hasn’t been very good the last two weeks, allowing opponents to rush for 5.5 yards per carry. The offense has been inconsistent, especially quarterback Ryan Tannehill, and the defense has been atrocious as the big fish in free agency Ndamukong Suh has failed to live up to expectations. Kelly can get more aggressive with his play-calling as the running attack and tempo wear down Miami’s defense. And it’s not like it’s a terribly small sample size, either. The problem for the Dolphins appears to be its defense. Their hope now is that it was the first game in a series where Bradford and the offense can run Kelly’s offense more efficiently and effectively. Considering Murray will get more touches, I’d start him.
This season Tannehill has completed 64.2 percent of his passes (17th in the NFL), thrown 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions, and compiled a 88.7 passer rating (19th in the NFL). And I think maybe for a while, it was just finding what it is that this offense, this year, what we’re going to be good at. On its face, that suggests an Eagles offensive line, which will likely be without Jason Peters, may struggle Sunday. However, that’s where part two comes in: seven of those sacks belong to Cameron Wake – including four against the Titans alone. Both sacks came on the San Diego Chargers’ last drive and sealed the third win of the season for Chicago.
The Dolphins are ranked 31st in the National Football League in defense and have allowed an abysmal 142 rushing yards per game.
The only field goal Sturgis missed since the first one was a 50-yarder against Carolina after making one from 52 earlier in the game.
Although you could make a decent case for Oakland, Minnesota (27/20) are playing incredibly well right now and it would be foolish to pass on their tempting odds. Bradford has been struggling this season, although he has shown a few flashes of brilliance. They have lost their last two games, both by double digits.
“I’ve said all along, the more you do something, the more reps you get, the better you feel”, Bradford said.
