49ers-Eagles preview: Facing a really good run defense is going to create problems

Related Topics: Eagles, San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers face a serious test on Sunday when they face the Philadelphia Eagles defense. The 49ers are sending out rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard for his second start, and it is safe to say he’ll face a lot of pressure from the Eagles. The Dallas Cowboys increased their blitzing pattern last week, and one has to think the Eagles will look to do the same.

I chatted with Bleeding Green Nation editor Brandon Lee Gowton this week about Sunday’s game, and inquired about the Eagles defensive strengths and weaknesses.
