And if they don't double CMC like Dallas did, CMC could get back to the check down weapon badly needed.

Behind enemy lines but I found this gem of an article. Well thought out and well written.

I like our RB's and TE matched up on the their LB's and S's more than I like our receivers vs their corners.

Yup.
The top 3 pressure defenses were the Cowboys (40%), 49ers and Philly (36%). The Cowboys pushed that to 48% against us. The Eagles close much better (70 sacks to our 44) and more collectively (4 dudes with double digit sacks; less lanes to step up through).
No doubt this is going to come down to trench warfare.

41/42 of those Philly sacks came in the first six games I believe - Lions, Vikings, Commanders, Jags, Cards and Dallas.
They're 29 for the last 11 games, it suggests that those Olines were bad or that teams started to figure out their line scheme. Still a very good pass rush but not quite as dominant in the latter part of the season as the overall numbers suggest.

This is the news I needed.

I gotta say THL, I loved what I was seeing out of the defense and their gap discipline containing Hurts to start. I thought the defense was doing great before all the penalties and then of course emotions got the best of them, understandably so.
