This game vs the Eagles is Defense time to grab spotlight (1 Viewer)

Well, we can't say the national media hasn't been on the Saints this week. They have been given their flowers ever since beating down the Cowboys last Sunday. Most of the praise has been heaped on the offense and rightfully so. However, I feel if the Saints are going to beat the Eagles, the Defense must set the tone from the get go. The duo in the backfield of Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley pose a threat. We know what Hurts has done to the Saints in the past. Dennis Allen will scheme to deal with him but when you add Barkley to the mix that is a lot to handle. If Lattimore plays I expect more 8 man box fronts and blitzes on obvious passing downs to make Hurts uncomfortable.
