He was with them all year, not just the SB

true, but I’m guessing that Super Bowl week when he worked with the offense specifically telling them how exactly he would defend them. It’s a two-way street in the situation. I think in totality, it’s gonna wind up canceling each other out. I kind of just don’t think the dolphins have a jets Type of defense with that type of front 7. Especially with Ramsey out on the backend as wel. The Carolina Panthers had success before their offense completely bottomed cause they are Carolina. Chuba Hubbard was taking it to Them. This screams a game like the eagles did a couple years back against the Buffalo bills. We are they ran it 40+ times for 220 yards. And the only threw it about 24.

I think the problem is going to be the Eagles secondary is a mess. Which I think is going to hurt the ability to have a good complementary football. Because you’re gonna have to go score for score. If you fall 10 to 14 points or more behind, you’re gonna have to throw it at that point. And with the injuries on the right side of the line, that’s probably not what you want to be doing.

You all know I'm not a run game, ball control fan.  But the only scenario in which the Eagles beat the Dolphins is a ground game beat down.

200+ yards on the ground, total ball control.  One of those games where it feels like the Dolphins score on every possession, yet they only have 24 points at the end of the game...all because the offense played keep away with absurdly long drives.

Hurts isn't in a place where the short passing game is going to be reliable enough to sustain drives.  He hits on the big play, but his passing is too erratic to sustain long drives without them derailing eventually.  They need 200+++ rushing yards with relentless success on the ground if they want to pull this out.

Dolphins 34

Eagles 24

Tua 350+ yards, 4 TDs

Just to fact check the fact check... or more exactly the hyperbolic nature of the article about the volume in Miami.   They claimed that 107 dB was 'jet engine' territory.   That's not correct.   Jet engines, as I've seen documented, range from 140-160+ dB.  The Decibel scale is logarithmic.  Meaning, as the tweet suggests... every 3dB (slightly higher) is basically a doubling of the sound pressure involved in the creation of the sound.   In other words, 110dB is twice as loud as 107dB.  113 dB is twice as loud as 110dB.  So, a jet engine, being 140dB isn't remotely close to the level of 107dB.  That is why people working around those planes CONSTANTLY wear ear protection.  Exposure to that volume for just a brief period of time can have dire consequences on your hearing, especially long term.  

Every 10 decibels is 10X louder... Also, please note the 130dB is from 200 ft away, not standing right next to it.  According to the inverse square law, as you cut the distance in half, the pressure would quadruple.  Cutting the distance to a mere 50 ft, would take that decibel level from 130 dB to 16x louder... Roughly 142 dB.  

 

To give some 'strict' numbers to this....
107 dB is approximately 0.05Watts/m^2 of intensity.
142 dB is approximately 158 Watts/,^2 of intensity.

(that's over 3000x more intensity).  Not exactly 'jet engine' level at 107.  

 

I saw the rating for the Phillies game at 111 dB... and compared to 107, you might think they are close.   They are not.  111 dB is 0.125 Watts/m^2.  That's 2.5x more intensity.  In other words, CBP was more than TWICE as loud as the stadium in Miami, at least at the points where they were measured.

I'm a huge audiophile/home theater geek and appreciate this post.  To be technical, decibels are an objective measure of sound pressure levels.  Loudness is the subjective perception of that pressure.

Yeah, I think the fact that we have good WRs and a Qb that can get it down the field sometimes takes away the focus of the offense.  The offense gets too impatient at times and just turns one dimensional trying to push the ball down the field. 

Obviously with backup OL, we need more a quick, intermediate passing game and a commitment to the run.  RPOs need to be a bigger part of the equation.   

As mentioned, they need to get AJ and Goedert involved in red zone.  It would also be nice to get someone schemed open like the Chargers did with Everett last night.  

I actually hope this is the week they bust out the RPO to get Hurts back on track

Yep, most of the games we win and are successful is when we get big rushing yards. It’s the key to winning and will open up the passing game. 
 

if we try and throw 50 times again we’re toast

I kid. That's really interesting information. Really clears up the whole jet engine thing. Always wondered how that could seem like such a close comparison when you can sit in a concert or game for hours but standing next to a jet engine would be unthinkable without ear protection.

Kidding. That was awesome. 

Oh no

Wonder if someone was cut or if someone is going to IR (Roby)

I am playing quarters all day and making them dink and dunk. The problem there is that they can run the ball and expose our backers…

this is definitely a game for us to run the ball and limit possessions

Bad sign for Roby injury

Agreed, but the issue for the uninitiated with the decibel scale is that they don't realize it is logarithmic, nor do many understand how logarithmic scales work.  100 dB and 110 dB seem similar to folks who don't understand it.  They are not though.

Tectonic shift in my understanding…

Could be Ricks. The Roby injury didn't seem serious. Was only a shoulder and he returned to the game.

I'd rather that.  I think our LBs are just fine in run support... its pass defense where they are weakest... and if they run the ball, they play into our defense's strength.  Our DL can be disruptive of running lanes just as much as passing.

Josiah Scott and Josh jobe. 
 

fantastic 

We have not been able to run the ball consistently since Cam Jurgens went out. That's 2 and 1/2 games worth. Opeta is fine as a pass blocker, but a bad run blocker. Driscoll is bad at both.

The other problem is that once Miami scores, we'll be incentivized to throw to catch up.
