Good read on Eagles game planning for Saints offense

Interesting what the opposing team thinks about the potent 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? Those are the challenges facing the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles as they limp in to a crucial Week 11 matchup.

So the Saints have three elite red zone players operating at a high level, but wait, there’s more. Perhaps the biggest pain in the caboose for defensive coordinators this year has been game-planning for what the Saints do with their backup dual-threat quarterback Taysom Hill.

It’s a nightmare for defensive coordinators. Not only do they have to prepare for an explosive, dynamic offense, but they must also spend a considerable amount of time game-planning for a back-up quarterback.

If we’d throw a little more with Taysom then I think coordinators would really be shitting their pants.

Instead of ''Fly Eagles Fly'' it should be ''Limp Eagles Limp''

And this is why Payton is a genius. He is making other teams have to spend valuable reps to prepare for a 3rd string QB.

You know it's coming. Hill has only thrown a couple of times and has been off the mark so far. But just the threat of it keeps them honest.

I think we've thrown enough with him for them to at least know it is something that could happen and try to make sure it's accounted for, which is really all we need

He threw a jump pass in the last game that was a little high and behind Watson, but hit him in the hands. It went down as a drop. Thankfully, the Saints scored on the next play via a toss sweep to Kamara.

But we've shown enough looks and done enough to make teams have to prepare for it and be ready for it at any given time.

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.

We're saving it. It's in the secret playbook. Ensminger gave them the plays.

IN SUMMARY
The variety in which the Saints have approached their red zone snaps is truly something to behold. They can beat you in so many ways and have a bevy of different concepts, alignments, and personnel groupings on tape. All of that will have to be broken down, digested, and planned against.
Beyond the defensive game-plan, Jim Schwartz will be tasked with coaching up a defensive unit that is on life support. If he’s forced into vanilla deployments due to a lack of chemistry and experience on the back end, the Eagles may find themselves in a boat race.
The Eagles boast the 4th ranked red zone defense and have yet to allow over 30 points this season. That streak is in serious jeopardy.
It is a great time to be a Saints fan. This was never an issue back in the early 80s.

Payton going to me masterminding a double option offense when its time to hand the reigns "he's still a quarterback" Hill.

Great find. I had almost the exact conversation with a friend of mine yesterday. The play design and execution is amazing. Enjoyed the read.

They almost gave that much up to the anemic Dallas offense, at home. Yeah, they in trouble.

Give it time.....give it time. Hill has completed some passes this year. Would be a riot if he can get one to a wide open Drew on a wheel route

A few weeks ago I saw Hill described as the Swiss army machete.
