Yes, it’s the New Orleans Saints putting on a show early in the NFL season. The team is averaging an incredible 45.5 points per game—that’s the best in the league. It creates a lot of stress for their next opponent, especially the Philadelphia Eagles, who look like they are pulling out of the tough hole they were in. Let’s break down how this Saints offense works and what it may look like for the Eagles.
Strong Start for the New Orleans Saints
The season began brightly with two shows of impressive strength; it opened with an onslaught of the Carolina Panthers and then went on to take a commanding lead in order to win over the Dallas Cowboys. Their scoring prowess and dominance in the game have been fantastic. This success was well driven on offense by veteran quarterback Derek Carr, who adapted quickly to the new scheme of the Saints.
Derek Carr has proven to be a big-play guy. Sure, he still needs work on those deep passes, but overall, he gets the job done. Through experience and natural talent, he’s made those looks in the Saints’ offense so contagious for the offense. His success with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is found in his system of heavy play-action and a running game that can funnel in any direction; keeping all these options possibly going in any direction keeps the defense guessing. He’s made good on all of it.
Eagle’s Defense Suffering
The Eagles have not been so brilliant in defending against the run. What is worse is that the team has allowed an average of 157.5 rushing yards per game, and going into a game against a high-powered offense from the Saints, this would be a reason to worry. If the Eagles are not able to stop the running game, then it would be hard to get the Saints in throw situations that may not be so obvious. This may present enough time for Carr to get himself into trouble with the Eagles’ defense, especially in their secondary.
To that, add the success Derek Carr has had against defenses led by Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Carr is 6-2 against Fangio’s teams, and the numbers have been pretty impressive. That makes the matchup for the Eagles just that much tougher, as they look to contain the weapons of Carr.
Eagles Game Strategy
The Eagles need to change their game plan. To break the rhythm of the offense of the Saints, they need improvement in run defense. They can stop Kamara and put pressure on Carr, which may help them contain that game. However, they miss A.J. Brown; their offense may not recover very well from that.
Everything has been super intense and challenging. It looks like today’s match between the Eagles and Saints. This offense play of the Saints is perfectly balanced, something ideal for Derek Carr. They entered the season so well and will, therefore, be very close competitors for the Eagles. If the Eagles team is to have a fair battle, then they shall make a move on their defense and try to build their scoring line other than A.J. Brown. This game is going to be a real test of their grit and flexibility in a trying match.
