The O-line is so dominant that Saints rarely keep a running back in for protection, instead choosing to flood the field with receivers, knowing that Brees will find the open man. Last night, Aikman was talking about the Eagles doubling up on Thomas and Kamara. Many teams can be shut down by taking out the #1 receiver. Most can be shut down taking out the #1 and #2 receiver. It sure didn't stop the Saints last night, but it sure did open up Smith, Kirkwood, Hill, Arnold and Carr to the tune of 18 completions, 244 yards and 2 TDs. The Saint's #3 and 4 receivers had as much yardage as the entire Eagles' offense.

It looks like the young receivers are starting to get on the same page as Brees. Add another big body like Marshall to the mix and it get really scary....for D coordinators.
Pretty much. Trying to lock down MT and Kamara does next to nothing. It can't be done for one and also Brees is going to jam the ball in the facemask of someone else with his accuracy.

Re: Observations from the Saints' blowout victory vs. Eagles

I know it's a divisional game, and I know they're almost always close, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us blow them out of the water. Our offense is playing at other worldly levels right now, at home and on the road. Our defense has turned a corner and looks very different from the one that struggled to stop them in the first meeting. They'll probably score a few times, but I see us being waaaay too much for them to handle. We'll break their will, just like we did to the feebles and the bungles. Their own "fans" are anticipating a blowout. I kinda am too.
