Who's going to step up?

Every last one of them will have to step up if we want to play next weekend.

Yes. The O line better play good. But does that mean you want to keep the TEs in to block? I'm hoping on some plays to get both of them out for a pass at the same time while two receivers go deeper. Probably means keeping Jacobs back to pick up blitzing. But maybe if Jordan escapes to a side; Jacobs can go out into the flat on the other side.

Sometimes you do that for run blocking, sometimes for play fakes. In lieu of the fact that we do not use a FB this is crucial in 3rd and short or inside the 10 yard line. The Eagles know we have Doubs, Reed, Wicks, and Malik who can stretch the field. The line of scrimmage is where we need to beat them.
If you watch the 2010 playoff game against the Eagles it was not a high scorer but we won with 3 TDs. Rodgers was not attacking with the big weapons he normally would. We had long slow drives using the O line, James Starks, and John Kuhn. We kept Philly and Vick off the field. And our D had enough left in the tank to seal it.
