We don't attain success through pressure like other top defenses do (we are 4th overall d right?). We stop the run very well and typically play phenomenal coverage... unless the offense picks on Smoot.
Well, we certainly do, when we're not blitzing the heck out of the defense and giving up third and long plays.

We're very deep in the secondary, but it's tough to match up in man with today's WRs. We match up very well in man coverage with the Eagles' WRs though. That's twice now this year they've been able to get pressure on McNabb without any predictable blitzes, and he's got no where to go with the ball.
