Eagles' run defense is a problem.
Through two weeks, the Eagles have given up a league-high 6.4 yards per carry, rank 25th against the run and allowed 11 runs of at least 10 yards. Their safeties and linebackers have missed tackles and their defensive linemen have gotten pushed around.Kamara, who ranks sixth in rushing yards , could expose Philadelphia’s issues even more. The 29-year-old has been one of the league’s most dynamic playmakers since his rookie season in 2017.
“At the end of the day, we just got to get the guy down and swarm to the ball. One of our main goals going into this game just swarm to the ball. So if a guy does miss a tackle, another guy is there to make it right after him, so it’s not like a five, six-yard again after that. So it’s a one-yard gain or a half-yard gain.”
“ play a team like that, they’re going to keep running it because they know everybody got to be on the same wavelength up front to stop it. Because if one person is not, you are going to see the cutback lanes or front side or whatever. They are going to get what they want.”New Orleans has averaged 185 rushing yards per game, the third-best in the NFL. Kamara gets most of the carries, and eighth-year veteran Jamaal Williams rotates in.
