As we put together for the large NFC Championship matchup between the Eagles and Commanders, I ask the NFL fan base, Does Kenny Pickett give the Eagles the most effective probability to win?
At first, you might assume are you loopy? Bench Jalen Hurts within the greatest recreation of the season. Nicely let’s peel again the onion a bit of bit. Hurts went down with some type of knee harm final week after getting tackled awkwardly. He ended up ending the sport however didn’t look 100%. The Eagles don’t want Hurts to be 100% to win with Barkley as your secret weapon within the backfield. They’ve been successful with a system of not making errors and operating Barkley with the hopes he breaks one or two for a landing. This system has labored the final a number of weeks, however within the greatest recreation of the season, I’m undecided!
In case you watched the sport between the Eagles and Commanders a couple of month in the past, Pickett stepped in and did a extremely good job. The balanced offense of passing and operating with Barkley labored effectively, effectively sufficient to attain 33 factors. In that recreation, he fed DeVonta Smith, he fed Brown and different key folks. The Commanders had a tough time stopping their offense. Good offenses have a balanced assault to maintain the protection off steadiness. With Hurts harm and the passing recreation fighting him at QB, ought to the Eagles begin Kenny Pickett? One thing to consider, as a result of on this recreation your simply attempting to win and survive! There’s no model factors for passing over 300 yards and having 200 yards speeding.
