"But also we're going to have to put our hands on these receivers to not climb up on the safeties. Every week, they're getting 40-, 50-, 60-yard touchdowns. You look at [wide receiver DeSean] Jackson got only [13] catches. But he's leading the league in yardage, so that's something we got to do to stop them from getting up on our safeties."

LMAO Really???? Carlos couldn't jam AIR. His slow ass will get toasted. How many holding or Illegal Contact calls for 22 this week?

He gives tidbits about how they're going to defend Vick. They're going to use DBs to spy on him, which means more room for Jackson and Maclin, which means both of them are burnt toast.

Basically we need a great pass rush this week to slow down Vick. If 98 is solid then we have a shot

It's not exactly the same thing, but I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone around the league compare the emergence of vick with the emergence of the wildcat. Both have radical implications for defenses trying to shut them down, but does anyone else feel like it's only a matter of time before defenses really figure out how to eliminate vick as a gamechanger, just as they did with the wildcat? Vick's had great success, but it's come against teams like the lions and the jaguars, who both have very subpar defenses - I'm interested to see what the brighter defensive coordinators and more talented defenses will do to shut him down. Big test for jim haslett this week, one that I'm not really that confident he's up for...

Pardon me whilst I yawn...


This is pretty standard mid-week grist for an upcoming NFL Division game.


Lots of form; not a lot of substance...

Well, by "DBs" they mean: Landry.

Landry isn't a huge part of coverage schemes as is. But what this will do is essentially tell Vick that we're only going to play a few different coverages against him. So he should know where to go with the ball pre-snap on a lot of plays, if he's a competent player.

If we get our pressure schemes on Vick quickly, it won't matter.

Well, if the Eagles center blows the protection calls, we'll get the pressure. If he doesn't, sit in fear for bombs to a WR or McCoy busting a long one after breaking a tackle.
With Kemo or AH on the field, the pocket will likely not be collapsed.
