Redskins vs. Eagles: Knowns and Unknowns

In just a few short hours the Redskins play the Eagles, and so much is known and unknown.

Eagles Defense
Known: Will use creative blitzes and their Wide-9 formation to keep Rex Grossman uncomfortable
Unknown: Will whiz-kid Kyle Shanahan have pass and run plays that successfully counter the Wide-9?

Michael Vick
Known: He will put up a lot of yards both passing and rushing
Unknown: Will he also put up a lot of interceptions like he did last week?

Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo
Known: They will hurry Michael Vick all day
Unknown: Will those hurries result in incompletions, sacks, and turnovers, or highlight-reel plays by Vick escaping from pressure and making things happen?

Rex Grossman
Known: You never know what you're gonna get
Unknown: You never know what you're gonna get

Redskins Running Attack
Known: They have a lot of talent at this position
Unknown: Will Hightower, Helu, or Torrain carry the load? (I'm calling Torrain)

The 2011 Eagles
Known: Are on the brink of going 1-5 and essentially ending their playoff chances
Unknown: Is this just another slow start to be followed by a playoff run?
