Why would they be concentrating on stopping the run when its been the weakest part of our offense
Because a couple weeks ago the Eagles had a highly ranked defense, and realize a big reason they lost the last two weeks was because of run defense, and it's also likely they realize the Vikes will be working on getting the run game going, Zimmer has said it.
The Vikes getting their run game going is going to make the defense even better, the Eagles don't want the Vikings controlling time of possession.
Having said that, I think the Eagles will be trying to make sure the Vikings don't get their run game going, the Vikings desire to get it going might be stronger. So I agree with Wobby that it's possible the Vikes get their run game going, I think it's more likely it gets going in a home game, or against a really bad defense on the road. If the Eagles continue to be weak against the run, the Vikes could blow them out.
I think it will be a close game. And I think it will only take a couple of holding calls on the Vikings to keep the Vikes running game mute, and there is a pretty good chance we see that if there is any sort.of 'sway' going in the Eagles' favor.
