Last week, the Eagles shut out the Los Angeles Rams’ all-planet defensive tackle Aaron Donald. They did it by first knowing where he was lined up at all times, and putting as many bodies on him as they could. It has been a highly successful way of neutralizing a game-destroyer like Donald.
This Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the Eagles will face another interior defensive lineman with as much ability as Donald in New York Jets’ 6-foot-3, 303-pound defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
In the first five games this season, Williams has three tackles for losses, 17 combined tackles, a fumble recovery, and half a sack.
