we aren't the giants. Lol the giants are a very average to above average (on their best day). The eagles aren't chumps but I think they're going to be surprised at how well we match up
I feel like his injury is overblown. Dude is playing opossum right now imo. Pretty sure Jimmy played with a similar injury and didn't miss any time. Granted he wasn't running like Hurts but it is his throwing shoulder that is hurt right? I'd think throwing the ball puts more stress on the shoulder than running it(especially with all the rules protecting QBs)
But yes...if he runs we have got to absolutely blow him up - but have to be smart about it. I hate when we come in late/dirty stuff. We have some hitters...just make sure he regrets that run.
I doubt the Eagles are thinking about the 49ers the way their fans are. If they are...we've already won. I think both teams are super complete, physical. They have advantages in some units over us. We have advantages in some units over them. It likely comes down to execution and coaching. Hopefully Kyle and Demeco both bring their best stuff and our guys execute it to perfection.
