re: Eagles are last in passing defense; 3-5 at home

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.

I agree fully with your assessment. ESPECIALLY THE BOLD! Ryan is going to need to figure out a way to get Harper some help. Be it rolling coverages, or inserting Bush or Frampton on third downs to key on Celek. He could also have Jenkins man up on Celek the entire game; although this scares me as well being that you never know what you will get from ole Jenkins!
