Defensive formation on 3rd and 16 in Eagles game.

Why were in man-to-man DA?

In spite of the offensive struggles, this game should never been lost.
Because that's our strong suit. Our DBs corps is meticulously built to play man coverage more often than not. It didn't work this time but the alternative is that DA special soft zone that all of us hate. Sometimes players make plays, sometimes bad things happen. You run that same play 100 times the Saints probably win most of them. It is what it is.
