Think this would be a good play to get Shipley running.

"Get in, Get out”…is the usual rule of thumb for running screens. This coach gives a few ideas.

I want to …ugh…Sirify them?! I want him to dig in deep detailed specific and get every ounce of juice out of these YAC Creation plays.(like he did Brotherly Shove) my thinking is..HC is good at what he’s good at…taking a fairly basic play…and specifically detailing it to become high efficiency…think this could be his next step of evolution.

This we could get multiple different play combinations out of…unlike The Brotherly Shove. All the ways these players need to perfect getting their block in. Many of times involving this Inside Out blocking setup. Or heck…maybe he figures out a way to change that formula. Siri could be just the guy to hardcore break this down.

Smitty on a Quick Drag Route is one we should use more.

Just goes towards my respect of Fangio. More just excited to see what he implements. Think he’s going to get five and six DBs on the field a good amount of the time this season.

I wholeheartedly agree with five DBs, and the Super Bowl snaps counts below do show that there was at least one snap with six in that game. However, six (which may have been the Maddox 4th Down PBU snap) probably won’t happen more than once or twice in a game, if at all. The reason for my belief that will be the case comes from Fangio’s own words, where he went out of his way to say how important ILBs are in his scheme. In his two-high Safeties zone deployment, the two ILBs have two key assignments. First, they clog up the quick release crossing patterns over the middle.

Neither Gannon nor Desai understood the value of ILBs in accomplishing that, and as a result Eagles defenses were consistently vulnerable to short passes that moved the chains, extended drives, and controlled TOP.

Second, they act as DBs in covering both TEs and RBs in pass patterns. They are better matchups size wise for TEs than both CBs and Safeties are. For RBs coming out of the backfield their zone assignment close to the LOS matches up much better with the RB than one of the Safeties, who at the snap is well off the LOS in the two-high positioning.

Fangio can go with six DBs and two ILBs if he lightens the box even more … down to three from four.

Total Defensive snaps = 56

Cornerbacks = 171 (56*3 = 168)

Slay = 49

Mitchell = 54

DeJean = 51

Rodgers = 8

Maddox = 7

Ringo = 2

Safeties = 110 (56*2 = 112)

Blankenship = 54

CJGJ = 52

McCollum = 2

Brown = 2

Inside LBs = 111 (56 * 2 = 112)

Baun = 54

Burks = 55

Trotter = 2

Morrow = 0

Super Bowl we didn’t really utilize a bunch of so differing D. It was fairly basic the whole game. Don’t think that would be the exact example game to site.

Good point. That’s why I posted the snaps from the NFCCG. They tell the same story.

I agree that it is a good route and should be used when needed. But …

Goederts top 4 Mount Rushmore TE's 1) Antonio Gates 2) Dallas Clark 3)Gronk 4)Kelce I like them all but IMO I would trade out Clark for Gonzalez

Tony G was the best ever IMO

IDK why do you need "differing D". If it's shutting down your opponent why change it? Fangios D offered no seams in the SB. There was no place for Mahomes to go. I see no need to change what works

He was fun to watch,so was Shannon Sharpe

The biggest problem we have with screens is that our O-Line is too good.

How that plays out is that as soon as the D-Linemen feel the o-Linemen giving them a free pass in their pas rush, they yell "Screen” and the play blows up before it even starts.

He was not a plus blocker. He really wasn’t a TE, but rather a big WR.

Sharpe was a much better blocker than Tony was.

The reason is simple. NFL teams have lots and lots of film, and they pore over that film in the offseason and devise scenes for taking away what has worked. So you need to be one step ahead.

Case in point. Hurts was devastating with his RPORs, but given one off season opposing DCs figured out how to tweak their defensive schemes to neutralize Hurts in those plays. So the Eagles offense needed to adapt.

An RPO (or RPOR with Hurts) is really just play action.
