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 very best probability to win?
At first, chances are you’ll suppose are you loopy? Bench Jalen Hurts within the largest recreation of the season. Nicely let’s peel again the onion a bit bit. Hurts went down with some form of knee damage 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 method of not making errors and working Barkley with the hopes he breaks one or two for a landing. This method has labored the final a number of weeks, however within the largest recreation of the season, I’m undecided!
For those who watched the sport between the Eagles and Commanders a few month in the past, Pickett stepped in and did a very good job. The balanced offense of passing and working with Barkley labored nicely, nicely 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 stability. With Hurts damage and the passing recreation combating 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 dashing.
