Jim Johnson vs. Malcolm in the Middle


One of my biggest worries this weekend is the matchup between New Orleans Saints headcoach Sean Payton and Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson.
Jim Johnson has a ton of experience coaching against Sean Payton, but not much success. Payton has always found an effective remedy to Jim Johnson's blitz schemes. His playcalling against the Eagles is always geared to putting themselves in good position on 2nd and 3rd downs. He will pound the ball with Deuce McCallister and set up Drew Brees(Who Penn State beat 4 times in 4 years BTW) with quick 3 step drops. The Eagles corners will have to jump their routes, but not get burnt doing so. The Eagles defensive linemen need to keep their arms up to knock down passes. In addition, Sheldon Brown might actually have to win when Brees throws a jump ball downfield to Colston.
