Defense Is Back, Really!

But once they got into the red zone there was just less space and Mcnabb's poor accuracy and 1 big hit kept the Eagles from scoring.

The Skins D looked far better in the first 3 quarters when CBs were locked on their sub par WRs man-to-man with someover help , (most of the time). I couln't believe it but I even saw some pressure on McNabb with just the front four.

I definitely think that GW would gladly let the opposing offense dink and dunk their way down the field all night long. Eventually a drive will stall or the offense will make a mistake.

We're not seeing the exotic blitz packages at all. It seems to be a very stripped down defense. Keep the ball in front of you, tackle, and don't give up the big play.
