Bo Wulf from PE.com is now writing a weekly column that is quite good. The Wulf’s Den. He posted some good note on the offense. You’ll need to read his piece to check out all the rankings and where the Eagles fit in.
Wulf did offer this nugget on the running game.
Team Rushing Update
Every week, we’ll monitor the pace of the Eagles’ rushing attack to check in on our preseason prediction that the franchise team rushing record is in serious danger. Despite the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles piled up an impressive 260 yards on the ground on Thursday night, putting another early dent in the season total.
Franchise Record: 2,607 rushing yards (1949)
2013 16-Game Pace: 3,333 rushing yards
*The NFL record for team rushing yards in a season is 3,653 by the 1948 San Francisco 49ers.
Wow. The Eagles are on pace to shatter the team record and challenge the NFL rushing record. Crazy.
Wulf also talked to Earl Wulf Wolfe Wolff.
EW: I could have done something like that, but I’ll tell you what they did do. During the game, they’re always yelling Wolf then Pack, from sideline to sideline. If I made a play or something, they would yell my name, Earl then Wolff from side to side. They’d get it going back and forth. Every time my name came up, every time I made a tackle, all the fans went crazy. It all made sense.
Of course I had to go there because I wanted to stay in state. I couldn’t go to North Carolina and have the last name Wolff. I couldn’t go to Wake Forest and have the last name Wolff.
BW: Don’t start with Wake Forest on me now. (Bo is a WFU alum)
EW: I can’t do Wake Forest.
BW: You know what the NC State chant was at Wake Forest? Did you hear that when you went there?
EW: No.
BW: “If you can’t go to college go to State.”
EW: Wow. Wow. Why do y’all do that to us? That’s rude, man.
I like Earl Wolff. Bo’s not too bad either, except for the whole part about going to Wake Forest.
