Eagles will stress the Saints front 7 this week.

I agree the Willie Gay will be very important this week. He has the speed and ability to deal with the threat of a mobile QB. That has been the Achilles heel of a Dennis Allen defense. Philly's wr group id not that much of a threat without AJ Brown, should have flexibility in that regard.

Yep. Mobile QBs are a handful for any DC but some of them figure out a way to at least limit them a bit. As good as DA is he just can't even when it comes to mobile QBs. Hell they don't even have to be that mobile. Dan Marino with two blown out knees could power walk his way to a 1st down against our defense.

I'd like to hear from some of our experts around here about why DA has historically struggled with QBs running? What is it about his scheme that allows for that? I can understand a QB sneaking out when you're running man coverage and everyone has their back to the QB. But when it happens over and over and there's no adjustment, I don't get that. Seems like we're always watching a QB take off with 30 yards of green in front of him with Cam Jordan trailing.
