These are last year's stats for the Eagles' LoS from the one and only CHFF:
On offense:

And defense:

They are ranked based on yards per rush attempt, negative pass play %, and 3rd down efficiency. As you can see, Philly ranked pretty well on both sides concerning running the ball/stopping the run and 3rd downs, but one stat sticks out: they were weak in forcing negative pass plays and gave up a bunch of negative pass plays.
I know this is 2007, but if this is any indication, we might have to focus on passing the ball to score and exploiting their pass protection. This will probably be our best test yet along the LoS. Here's to a good game!
