ZORN -IS DOING A FANTASTIC COACHING JOB.
CAMPBELL- GETTING BETTER WITH EVRY GAME.
OFFENSE- CLICKING BETTER.
DEFENSE- GREAT ,BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PRESSURE UP FRONT.
I agree with this analysis. The 'skins just plain got handled by the Giants in Week 1, but have shown steady progress since then, and you have to love that kind of adjustment coming from the coaching staff. In that Giants game, the whole offense seemed totally unable to handle any sort of pressure, but since then, they've appear to have really worked on the quick passing game, and JC's reaction speed really seems to have shifted into high gear. Facing pressure, he's finding open receivers quickly and taking advantage of downfield match-ups. The play-calling was really good - wide open, and taking advantage of what the defense was doing. This team really has shown it's a contender, and it's light years ahead of where they were at the beginning of the season. I hope they keep it up. Zorn's got to let 'em enjoy this win, but keep focused on the rest of the season. I have a feeling he'll do that just fine.
My only two concerns were 1) the pass rush, and 2) injuries. Losing Springs and Smoot (although he came back in) was scary - Springs especially. Let's hope he's back to 100% for Philly and the rest of the season. We're definitely going to need those guys down the stretch. Looks like Smoot just got his bell rung, and he's fine. Regarding the pass rush, there was some contact on Romo, but no sacks, and there's got to be more pressure. Given too much time, most QBs in this league will pick you apart. Still, the d-line wasn't TERRIBLE on the pass rush, and they did shut down the run pretty well, so overall they get about a B. They showed a lot of heart.
