Confessions of a Polluted Mindset 2019 Game 1, Packers - Eagles (part 2)

Just a few more things on my mind I didn't touch on in Sunday's Polluted Mindset.

Eagles TEs: Thursday night the Eagles made heavy use of their tight ends as blockers in the run game, especially Dallas Goedert. The Eagles completely neutralized the Packers big playmakers, the Smith Brothers, and ran their way to victory at Lambeau Field. Za'Darius Smith had nothing but goose eggs on the stat sheet, and you can get an idea of what his night was like from the video below, the first play from scrimmage for the Eagles. One can only hope that the knee injury that almost kept him out of this game was a major contributing factor to Za'Darius's struggles.
