Saints' clock control a factor in 5-0 start

Eagles lead the league @ 186 yds/game. We are @ 78/yds a game. The difference in yds per qtr is 27. Twenty seven yds per quarter isn't much. It certainly doesn't add up to more wins.

Watching those Eagles games, much of that is gained on draw plays when opposing defenses are in "prevent" nickel, dime packages...

The Eagles offense does not control the clock, game pace as that stat would suggest...

Pooh. It has not. UP TO THIS POINT. but it certainly can at some point. Hell even 25-30 yrds more a game would make me rest easier.
