This game
features the highest OU line of the preseason so far, but will we see many
points? Im not sure, but I do know this would probably be a better game in the
regular season. This game should feature a couple of high powered offenses, but
Philly will not be starting Sam Bradford for this one, while you can expect
limited playing time from Andrew Luck and his solid WR Corps. That means that Mark
Sanchez will get solid time for the eagles, while you will see time from Matt
Hasselback on the other side and then we get into the guys that will never
play.
Neither team
has to work much on the offense as they two teams will put up points in bunches
this year. The defenses is where these teams will look to improve this year.
Last year the Eagles were 23rd in the league in points allowed and
really struggled vs the pass, while the Colts were 19th in points
and had some issues vs the run, which seems to be a recurring theme for the
Colts each year. The Colts defense is aging some and they do have some depth
issues, which means they may take a bit longer to improve. The Eagles defense has
been upgraded with the drafting of three CBs in their first 5 picks and while
it might not pay off right away, it will as the season goes on. Their front 7
was decent last year and should be better this time around.
