When you add speed on the outside it forces you to respect the deep ball. I don't think the Eagles need Stallworth to light things up either, because Brian Westbrook is going to be the biggest beneficiary of his presence. The field just got more open for Westbrook, who didn't need a whole lot of extra space to begin with.

I like quoting myself when I'm right. 130 total yards and a TD for Westbrook. And obviously Stallworth got his.

Is Stallworth a pro-bowler? No. Is he a legit deep threat? Yes.

The number one thing you have to defend when you're playing the Eagles is Brian Westbrook on screens out of the backfield. If you don't get on him fast he'll toast you in the open field. To do so, you need CBs who can run with Stallworth so you don't have to dedicate all kinds of safety help to him. The Texans didn't have that CB ability. I think we do have the CB strength, and we can neutralize Westbrook and Stallworth. But it's not easy. The Eagles are real good.
