Grand Imperial Poobah: Sunday's Game Will End With Eagles Taking Knee
By Stan "The Grand Imperial Poobah" Hochman
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- (Editor's Note) Stan Hochman, a Daily News sports columnist for 55 years, has been appearing on 94WIP's morning show for over a year now, settling disputes (and starting new ones) as the "Grand Imperial Poobah." He brings that persona to CBSPhilly.com/poobah on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we welcome input on which issues you want the Poobah to take a good, hard look at. Send requests and ideas for The Poobah to WIPpoobah@gmail.com.
Without further ado, here's The Poobah.
Phil E. Phan: Please, Poobah, talk us off the ledge. Who will bounce back this Sunday against the Rams and get the Eagles back on the winning track?
Poobah: Look for Nick Foles to redeem himself from that woeful performance in San Francisco because that is his pattern. It will help if Riley Cooper hangs onto a pass or two. Did you have "under the fifth game" before hearing the chorus of "we miss DeSean Jackson." Yes, they miss Jackson, but Foles promises to be more accurate starting Sunday. The offensive line will be better with Lane Johnson returning and Todd Herremans moving to a more comfortable spot. Shady McCoy will be motivated to gain some tough yards and Chip Kelly will call a better balance of run-pass. The special teams have been outstanding. The game will end with the Eagles taking a knee instead of scuffling to find a way into the end zone from inside the two yard line.
