re: Good read on Eagles game planning for Saints offense

How do you stop the league’s top scoring offense? Better yet, how do you do it on the road? And lastly, how do you do it with a decimated secondary?

To answer those questions in order: 1.) You can’t. 2.) You don’t. 3.) You won’t. Brees and the Saints are going to torch the Eagles depleted defense. The Saints have scored 40+ points in 5 games this season and Payton is on his game right now as a play caller and designer. Look at the design of that play against the Bucs. The movement of the routes basically puts the defenders on an island against Michael Thomas which is a fool’s errand.
