Having Motion can force the D to give a ‘tell’ also. Since defenders are paid also. They’re known to show fakes and deceive.

But it isn’t just reading the D. It’s more about what you do with that read. A scheme has expectations. Proven O already pretty much decided on what move to make depending on adjusting to D playcall.

What was my consistent opinion that summer before the SB season actually began? To remind you: it wasn’t can Moore get us far enough by the end was all that pretty much mattered.

What has been consistent... look at the stats from 2024... correlation between pass attempts and the results

Consistent...look at the playoff results... both the SB run with limited passing...and look at the results ( specifically the offensive scores) in correlation to the passing attempts.

Other than the Superbowl vs KC ... the first one where the stats were inflated by 2 pass plays ... one where there wasn't a defender near Smith and the ball was so poorly thrown...the other a pass to AJ where 3 Chiefs never looked at the ball. That led to 104 passing yards and 14 points. 2 fluke plays that didn't demonstrate anything from a QB perspective.

Those other 3 games ...43 total points... 113 passing attempts

Compare to the 4 wins leading to the Superbowl... 91 pass attempts leading to 145 points.

4 games 22 less pass attempts!

Less than 23 per game = 36.25 points per game

Vs

113 attempts in 3 games

37.66 attempts per game = 14.3 points per game.

Absolutely no brainer to minimize the decision making and passing attempts of the QB in Philly the last few years...has led to the team having the elite level success and putting up points!

Moore had rhymes and reasons surrounding his plays. That’s what I refer to as The Scheme part. So even though he isn’t a fantastic playcaller….he educated and armed Hurts with Audible powers finally.

Agree... the scheme was to give Barkley the ball and let the OL pound the defense into submission. Eventually Barkley would break one. Kept the clock moving and limited the opponent's drives.

Wow.... facing 4 teams that are coming off their bye week.

Carolina after we come back from London and back to back Washington and Giants weeks 8 and 9. After playing the Cowboys on a Monday night.

That back to back vs teams having extra rest while you come off less than a week... not a good recipe for winning the battle at the line of scrimmage.

That's tough 17 weeks, really 16 considering nobody has a bye before week 1, with 4 of those weeks playing teams coming off of a bye!!!!!

I just looked... there are 9 bye weeks, yet how do we play 4 teams coming off a bye?

Week 5 only Carolina and KC have a bye, we play Carolina after coming back from London???? Really?

Then Monday night week 7 vs Dallas... week 8 is Washington coming off a bye... Sunday night...

Then week 9 Giants coming off a bye ... 3 division opponents...with 2 coming off a bye and us playing Monday and Sunday nights??? Really?

Then to top it off week 12 no teams on a bye... but week 13 Indy...of course we play them week 14?

Five 1pm games...

4 of them..

Carolina after London

Rams after Monday night

Giants coming off bye after Sunday night

Colts after their bye week

The convenience of the 1pm games work to give us less rest in those 4 of the 5 weeks we can use it???

Really?

Wow!!! 4 out of 9 possible times to get an opponent after a bye week? And after London!!! I noticed none of those weeks we play at 1-m the week before??? At least if we have to play a team coming off of a bye week, we should play at 1pm the week prior ourselves. That stuff adds up.

Right, like they really seemed to conveniently go out of their way to give teams extra rest. But then we have 3 home games in December....but within 11 days? Sunday, Saturday and Thursday!

3 games in 11 days weeks 14, 15 and 16... that's just great for the body and recovery.🙄

Then a trip out to SF to play Sunday night... fly all the way back for what could be a key matchup vs the Giants.

Don't see how the schedule could have come out any better.

The bye after the England game would have been nice but a week 10 bye is a good deal.

The end of the season is a tough stretch but completely doable

If the season goes like i think it will (it seldom does) that Giants game won't mean much

Could be a lot worse

Most hard games are at home

I see the Eagles doing a 3peat

BTW i didn't see the bye week schedule you pointed out

Oh good grief

The season is over

No point in even watching an Eagles game this year

I agree with Joe, we knew the teams that we were playing back in JANUARY. The schedule release is about the order and where and when, this really was a bad draw schedule was as far as logistics and playing a ridiculous 4 teams coming off a bye???? All the 1pm games seem to come at the wrong time too. Not sure any team got screwed with this type of schedule. But it will come out soon enough.
