Les Bowen: Eagles to attack Falcons' system first, then fill-ins

With the offense probably missing concussed star wideout DeSean Jackson, playing in a loud Georgia Dome enviornment that accentuates the Falcons' defensive quickness, the Eagles will need a solid effort from their defense. Earlier this week, it sounded as if Jordan might be able to play, but he was listed as a limited practice participant yesterday, and again he worked only with the scout team.

The dome definitely is a concern for the Eagles' offense.

"It's going to be electric, man," said safety Sean Jones, an Atlanta native who played at Georgia.

"It's going to be crazy," said another ex-Bulldog, guard Max Jean-Gilles. (The Eagles have four Georgia alums altogether, including wideout Reggie Brown and defensive end Chris Clemons.) "We're going to have to work on [the silent count] this week - it's going to be a key factor in our offense. That turf is something different. It's really fast. They're going to get some good get-offs, they're going to be able to use that to their advantage." *
