29th in the league against the run...but it's not so much Castillo as it is Washburn's "Wide-9's" technique. There are just these HUGE lanes for a Back to run through because of the way Washburn wants to crash down on the OTs.

Also, the LBs and Safetys can't tackle.

Ah, I just wish Jim Mora was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles for one day just so he can say this.

Commence panic mode for the "dream team." It's amazing seeing such a talented team get pushed around... so many weapons that just don't add up to anything. Shocking, really.

I knew linebacker would be an issue, because they were small and inexperienced. Not a good combination when you're running that kind of front. That's why I thought it was risky letting Bradley go, even with the injury history. I guess what I'm racking my brain about and what's so curious, is that the Eagles were up by a nice amount at one point in the game. Theoretically, that takes the opponent out of the running game and plays right into the Eagles' strength.

They had a 10 point lead in Atlanta that the defense couldn't close, then they were up 23-3 at one point, I believe. That's a troubling trend that I would think the DC would have to take some heat for. Although, as I said, I didn't see the game, so I don't know how the Eagles' poor play on offense could have contributed.
