This week, it's looking more and more like Sanders and Johnson will suit up on Sunday, as will a couple other injured Birds, which will certainly help the Eagles against the Rams. He is expected to play. The Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) will look to get into the win column when they host the Los Angeles Rams (1-0) at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles have had the Rams number when Los Angeles was really good so there is no reason to think that should change now that L.A. has come back to the pack a little bit. I can’t rely on a “full workload” – whatever that is – from Miles Sanders. He can be reached at dgallen@pennlive.com. Sanders, who led all NFL rookies with 1,327 scrimmage yards last year, looked explosive in practice this week and will help clean up the Eagles pass blocking issues. No fans will also hurt Philadelphia in a big way. ... That was the exact same statline as in 2019 … The kid was day-to-day for a month! it's hard to not worry about some carryover after blowing a 17-point lead. The Eagles rank third in the NFL with 18.0 sacks, trailing only the Rams (20.0) and Steelers (20.0). The injuries will only get worse, so banking some wins before the practice squad takes the field again in Week 14 will be critical. Jim Schwartz praises Darius Slay and Josh Sweat, talks Eagles vs. Rams prep The latest from Philadelphia’s defensive coordinator. The heart of the Eagles offensive line, during the Doug Pederson era, the Eagles are 36-17 when Johnson plays the right tackle as opposed to 6-12 when he’s out of the lineup, including the season-opening loss to Washington. Please support high-quality local journalism. This is early, and could be monumental for the Eagles. Travis Fulgham led the Eagles with 10 receptions for 152 yards and one TD in Week 5 at Pittsburgh. The Titans overtime loss in 2018 was really bad, too, and the Eagles did lose the following game as well, but you get my point. (Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images). The Ravens are one of nine NFL teams that the Eagles have never lost to at Lincoln Financial Field (since the 2003 season). Getting Miles Sanders and Lane Johnson back helps enormously. When they can run it, their offense has been effective. I’m diving headfirst into the deep end with my prediction here. Schwartz already understands as well but NRC can communicate things player to player on-field and is already spilling secrets. In the opening week, you saw exactly who Carson Wentz and Jared Goff are. While. The Eagles have been a great run team in recent years, especially against the types of power attacks that the Rams want to employ. I feel more pessimistic than I expected to about this game. So far, so good.”. When you get them into long downs and distances, that's when Jared Goff becomes a less effective quarterback. Miller was a fourth-round pick of Philadelphia during the 2019 NFL Draft but was waived by the Eagles prior to the start of the regular season and picked up by the Panthers. Matt Mullin Sign up for the Eagles Wire newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning. Yes, Aaron Donald is a phenomenal player, and yes, the Eagles' offensive line was over-matched by the Football Team last week, and as such, it's easy to envision Donald lifting Eagles linemen over his head and throwing them at Wentz. Perhaps contrary to perception, the Rams want to be a running team. That pertinent information and his experience should get the Eagles over the hump. Donald is too much of a road block to bypass. We'll find out on Sunday afternoon when these two teams meet in what TheLines.com's consensus odds say is a pick-em. Assuming Sanders (and Johnson) will be able to help their ground game get going, we should see a much more balanced attack from the offense.

Wentz didn’t miss by much on a few deep bombs to his new weapons, and one or two more connections could make all the difference in the world. Philadelphia has produced a 2-2-1 record in the all-time series vs. Baltimore, including a 2-0 mark at home. Sounds of the Game: Rams vs. Eagles | Week 2 Sep 23, 2020 Go on the sidelines with the Los Angeles Rams as they earn their first road victory of the 2020 season against the Philadelphia Eagles! I don't think they're as bad as they played in the second half of that game. Now the Eagles will have to earn everything they get to start climbing out of an 0-1 hole they weren't expected to be in. That being said, the prospect of an 0-2 start should be plenty of motivation for this team, especially if they have still have plans of making the postseason this winter. I am not sold on them being better than L.A. but I think they’ll eek out a win in Week 2. Offensively, expect the Eagles to get back Lane Johnson and Miles Sanders, which should calm down a lot of the issues by simply upping the talent level on the field. Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pa.

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke)AP. The Panthers waived Miller after he was inactive for each of the first three games this season to clear roster space for Eli Apple's (ankle/foot) return to the lineup. Pederson is the ultimate leader, hed the Eagles through a three-game losing streak last season, and rallied the Birds to four straight wins and a division title. Furthermore, Pederson and Wentz are 2-0 against Sean McVay and Goff, and Philly is 6-0 against the Rams over the last 15 years. And, as Jimmy alluded to above, this feels like the kind of game the Eagles come out and win after a clunker in the opener. Here’s everything you need to know for the game. They'll get a tougher test this weekend, and we should know a lot more about them after facing a much better opponent. The veteran corner spent the last three years practicing against that offense and knows where all the bones are buried and what McVay is trying to accomplish on the most minute of details. Weather: Mostly sunny, 63 degrees, 51% humidity, winds SSE 8 mph (via Weather.com), Prediction: Ravens 31, Eagles 23 [full picks], Song of the day: “Am I Something” by Cloud Nothings.

I do think that the Eagles will bounce back with healthy(ish) returns from Miles Sanders, Lane Johnson and Derek Barnett. 49ers vs. Rams all-time series The 49ers lead the long-time NFC West rivalry 71-67-3. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission. The good news for the Eagles is that they don't really have one stud receiver that Ramsey can neutralize. Jim Schwartz preaching discipline and getting his guys to ignore the eyewash that is the DNA of McVay's mindset better than most was an important factor as well and there is no reason to think that shouldn't continue now that the organization now has Nickell Robey-Coleman to lean on. This week, however, the Birds won't have the Philly faithful there to cheer them on, erasing some of the advantage they would typically have in their home opener. It’s a winnable game at home, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but there needs to be vast improvement from last week in any case. All rights reserved. If the Eagles don’t beat the Rams, they could start 2020 1-5, considering the Bengals are still the Bengals. Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman (31) in action during an NFL match against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Football Team on Sunday, September 13, 2020 in Landover, Md. Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz went second in the 2016 NFL Draft, behind only Jared Goff of the Rams. And while everyone is looking at the failure of the offense, don’t forget this defense gave up 27 points to Dwayne Haskins—Dwayne Haskins, whose accuracy is so bad he couldn’t win a kewpie doll at a carnival. In my opinion, that was his worst game as a pro. Aaron Donald is going to wreck plays, however, so you have to factor that into the game plan and that's a concern because neither the Eagles coaching staff nor Carson Wentz handled getting behind the sticks positively against the Washington Football Team. Will the defense slow Jared Goff and the Rams offense? One is a single-read passer that looks electric when the read is there and poor when it is not, the other is a mercurial talent who can string together eye-popping drives and head-scratching lows. On the other side, the Eagles defense should be able to slow down the Rams rushing attack and force Jared Goff into some third-and-long situations, where they've been able to take advantage in their past meetings. (AP Photo/Daniel Kucin Jr.). Unfortunately, the one big advantage the Eagles should have for this game, the crowd, won't be a factor. But I didn’t think Washington was better than Philly either and you saw what happened. On Wednesday, Lane Johnson, Miles Sanders, and Derek Barnett practiced in full. Brandon Graham (54.0) – tied for the team lead with 3.0 sacks – is 1.0 sack shy of surpassing Hugh Douglas (54.5, 1998-2002, ’04) for the fourth-most sacks in Eagles history, behind Reggie White (124.0, 1985-92), Trent Cole (85.5, 2005-14) and Clyde Simmons (76.0, 1986-93). Aaron Donald is going to do Aaron Donald things, which is going to make life incredibly difficult for the Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles are already in injury purgatory and things just got worse with the news that both Miles Sanders and Zach Ertz will miss time with lower-body injuries. The problem is, the Rams are a much better team than the one the Eagles allowed to run off 27 unanswered points in Week 1, and we don't really know if the return of two players will be enough to make up for that difference.
