Defense Is Back, Really!

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.

I think exotic blitz packages will be more evident when a weapon like Westbrook isn't on the opposite team. Send seven at McNabb on an obvious pass and he can dink it to Westbrook for a ton. We saw Westbrook be the focus, and Westbrook still looked pretty good.

The sad flip side for Eagles fans is that McNabb wasn't the focus, and he looked average.
