Guy has played very well since coming back to the team. Arguably the second best behind Scandrick. Put him on Cooper and let scandrick cover Jackson!

Yea let's don't kid ourselves here. Carr and Scandrick are still our two best corners and if Claiborne is healthy he's behind them. But Sterling Moore....i've always felt he was solid. I don't get why we not only let him go but nobody else picked him up.

Put Carr on Cooper...

I'm not sure it matters. If Carr is healthy and Claiborne plays and isn't rusty, our CBs are the best the Eagles will see all year. Jackson still only knows two routes - long and longer. Cooper benefits from extra attention given to Jackson. Celek is the forgotten man in this offense.

We just need to contain LeSean McCoy and don't get caught playing too much zone.

Jackson has been killing teams underneath all year. Carr is good when he plays big and physical, the speedy little guys give him trouble. Even if he was playing like our best corner, he's still a better matchup on Cooper. Honestly, I wouldn't mind having Claiborne or Moore covering Celek. DBs are going to have to be good tacklers to beat Philly, especially since they like to spread it out a bit. Should mean Moore gets more burn than Claiborne I would think, or when they go nickel, Church is moved down against certain formations with JJ and Heath both still in.

Good points, especially about Moore/Claiborne and Church in the box.

Moore could cover Celek. Claiborne I'm afraid would be too rusty, but covering a Tight End would be a good way for him to get his legs instead of covering speedy guys on the outside.
