Duce Staley
The Eagles need a healthy Duce Staley.
The Rams' and Eagles' biggest questions should be answered when Philadelphia's offense steps on the field in Sunday's marquee matchup at the Vet. Can Eagles running back Duce Staley cut loose like he used to before last season's foot injury? And how well will the Rams' young but talented defense perform? Establishing Staley early is a top priority for Philadelphia, says Sean Salisbury, while Mike Golic thinks it'll take some time for St. Louis' D to gel.
