The Saints still have better weapons overall.


It's close

Graham, Colston, Sproles, Thomas, Stills, Moore

or

McCoy, Jackson, Cooper, Ertz, Celek, Avant

The key to stopping the Eagles will be three things....

1. Pressure: Foles is very poised especially against pressure, but he lacks the mobility of other QB's the Saints have played. Foles reminds me of a young Carson Palmer. Big arm and above average accuracy who makes plays and limits interceptions. If you can pressure him early and often and build a lead then you definitely have the upper hand.

2. Stopping the run: This is the main thing that scares me. McCoy is very versatile and fast. The Saints must spend a ton of time planning to stop the running game and make the inexperienced QB beat them.

3. Covering the TE: If there is any time you will see the void left by missing Kenny Vacarro it is going to be this week against Celek. Celek is defintely the safe button for Foles and he uses it often. Roman harper covering Celek really scares me.
