Re: Patriots O Line vs Eagles D Line

GM ... I've been saying the same thing here on FanCom for a bit.
The Eagles strength is Fletcher Cox and Co. The Patriots offensive line has been playing really well lately even with a revolving door at right tackle. The Patriots are expected to have LaAdrian Waddle back for SB52, which is good news for them. According to football outsiders the Patriots had the best run blocking OL in the game. There pass blocking was middle of the pack (14th). Brady will combat the amazing Eagles D-Line by utilizing his running backs and Danny Amendola. The key will be getting the ball out quickly. I think the Patriots will play with tempo early on in the game. They will have played 3 out of the 4 last SB's so they know what to expect. My going no huddle they can tire out the D-Line. If the front 4 is able to get home without rushing additional guys it will be a long day for New England.
I can't wait to see this matchup.
