Green Bay Packers v. Eagles: 5 Burning Questions
By Paul Bretl
Can the Packer receivers take advantage of the Eagles’ secondary?
This is a Philadelphia Eagles team that is riddled with injuries and the latest player that will be out for Thursday Night’s game is cornerback, Ronald Darby. This leaves the Eagles with Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones, and Avonte Maddox as the primary corners that the Green Bay receivers will have to go up against.
Through the first three games, tight ends and receivers not named Davante Adams or Marquez Valdes-Scantling have really struggled to consistently produce. Well, with a beat-up Eagles’ secondary, this will be a great opportunity for everybody else to make a big impact on this game.
While we should be watching for the tight ends and Geronimo Allison, in particular, to see what they do in this game, this is likely to be a huge game for Davante Adams. He has shown that regardless of the team or who is covering him, that he can produce. This should be a game where he is able to put up some big numbers against the Eagles’ secondary.
