I think you've hit on the two keys to beating the Beagles. One is to keep McNabb and TO off the field for as long as possible. As stupid as it sounds, they can't beat you if they're sitting on the bench. Two is when they are on the field punish them. Make them hurt by the end of the first half. I'd like to see ST play headhunter a bit this game and explode on Westbrook, McNabb (on a couple blitzes), and TO (on some crossing routes). Give him a chance to really deliver a few bellringers to these guys, and I'll guarantee you they'll be thinking twice on every snap. BTW, it seemed to me that Armani Toomer was really timid about catching anything in the second half, especially in the middle of the field or when Taylor was nearby.
