Yahoo Sports NFL on Matthew Stafford

Stafford exploits Eagles' predictable stunts and clean pockets.

Stafford has significant time in the pocket against the Eagles' defense; on 3rd-and-10, he has nearly four seconds in a completely clean pocket with plenty of space around him. The Eagles send five rushers but still do not make Stafford uncomfortable. The Eagles' stunts feel predictable at times and don't generate enough direct interior pressure to collapse the pocket as the game develops. Stafford is very capable of finding an answer before the rush gets there, and the Rams' three-level stretch concept gives him receiving options at different depths on the same side, which is difficult to defend when he has all the time he needs.
