Taylor Doll’s Making Monsters podcast previews tonight’s Bears-Eagles game with Eagles reporter Louie DiBiase and Bears legend Tom Waddle; they discuss Philadelphia’s line issues and pass rush, Chicago’s rushing attack, and how Vic Fangio’s defense could challenge the Bears.
DiBiase said Philadelphia is 2-0 but has struggled on both lines. He said the Eagles rank eighth in pressure rate but near the bottom of the league in average time to generate pressure, with much of that pressure coming from coverage.
Waddle said he would expect the Eagles to use more pressure than usual against Chicago, reasoning that an immobile, older quarterback could be rattled early. He also discussed the Bears’ quarterback debate and positives he saw in the defense’s performance against Minnesota.
