I was privy to an interesting conversation between veteran Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh and 2nd year cornerback Orlando Scandrick today in the locker room. The two were talking about how to defend the Eagles passing game. I'm no NFL coach, but I was able to glean this: when playing defense against McNabb, most of the time look for the ball to get there on a line. The two were talking about how to defend when one's back is to the quarterback. Sensabugh's advice: give a quick look back, or play the receiver's hands and when they go up and the ball arrives try to rake the ball out. The other interesting tidbit from Sensabaugh - the Eagles offense likes setting it up to "take a shot." Yeah, yeah, you gotta slow down Westbrook and McCoy in the run game, and there will be a bunch of hitch routes, and "West Coast" stuff underneath.
