Eagles will stress the Saints front 7 this week.

Yeah, need that spy. Perhaps this deserves a separate post...but anyone noticing the lack of an impact Bresee is having?

I'm really starting to see him as a 5Tech that reduces inside to 3Tech on passing downs, because on running downs as a DT he gets washed and tends to lose the leverage battle a good bit. Saw him on the ground a couple times last week and I haven't seen the jump from him I was expecting.

I would be interested in your thoughts on how to implement a spy to stop running QBs.

In my mind if we put Gay on the field to spy that likely means either taking out a CB or Werner. Which seems to be a trick bag to me because we likely need Werner on the field as a run defender and to cover underneath routes and if you take out a CB that is likely going to be Taylor who may be our best tackling DB outside of Tyrann. In some ways with his speed and tackling ability Taylor would see to be a good option to spy Hurts but you sacrifice some block shedding and run defense to stop Barkley to have him on the field. Maybe they rotate the spy between Taylor and May?
