I think anyone in that position goes low... and anyone else in addition can go low also.   Its the difference between football and Rugby.

He can't remain upright for 2 yards? With Dickerson as lead blocker?

He remains upright on the tush push from the 2 most times,so I don't see a leg tackle as much of a risk from there. Anyway it's just a trick play we could use in the playoffs

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/eligible-receiver-nfl-rules-explained-numbers-exceptions-illegal-touching/ar-AA1moRX0  So G can be called eligible,but IDK how that is "called"  I suppose "tackle eligible" would also be used

He will get the cheap shot at the goal line...still legal there.  Don't need the injury risk.

Prefer Barkley running behind Dickerson Becton and Mailata... Lane eligible on the other side if you fake then roll out Hurts in a run/ pass option.

If you can find that video of Mailata getting tackled at the knees by multiple players...I'd love to see it.  

If Nobody goes low and there are no vids of it(I did not look),why would he be at risk from the 2?

That could work if Lane can catch

You could call tackle eligible for Maliata,do nothing then use your idea,no one would see that coming

IDK hopefully we don't need a trick play,but I love seeing them as a fan

Like to see this also. Direct snap to Barkley,pitch back to Hurts. Just needs to mix these calls up

It's the Eagles... they want linemen even when the rest of the world doesn't think they need one.  

Really the least of my concerns is the Eagles failing to draft OL. 

Well we did,but I assume those will be BU's. Who was the LT before Mailiata(no one cares anymore). See DONE,LG-DONE,C- more than likely DONE,RG-fluid,RT-locked in but we need to start looking for a TOP guy next draft

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/positions/OT/1/2025  Nice T class next draft,should be NP finding a guy

It's amazing....in the spring when they installed the offense for the first time.  Supposedly not good.... then 7 weeks later they look good in camp... lol

I mean, they don't have any other job than to play football.  Why so difficult for all these people who think it takes3 years to learn the rocket science of football.     OMG an put pattern... so complicated when it's a 5 , 7, 10 or 12 yard out...lol

7 weeks, 8 hours a day...5days a week...280 hours they could have been working on learning the offense.   You would think common sense people would realize adults should grasp these concepts by game 1?   Still another 6 weeks to go.

Probably because anybody who’s watched football has witnessed the learning curves

Because nobody is dumb enough to try to tackle a dude Mailata's size up high... the LBs and DBs will go at his legs. 

It's not rugby where it's one on one and they all tackle high.   Football has all 11 guys coming at the ball carrier and they all can go low.

Mailata pushes the pile... that's what he does well... next to Dickerson and throw in Becton... now you can move the pile... you could run behind it.  I'm not a fan of taking the best blockers away from blocking.   When it's a defensive player coming in to do it, as a gimmick...it still has the best blockers in front. 

The war in the trenches...you don't take away the guys who own the front line.

Which learning curves have you witnessed lately with the Eagles?   Chips first year....Doug's first year ... SIRI’S first year... how have those offenses looked?   

This isn't 1975 when high schools had 10 rushing plays and 4 pass plays.   Have you seen some of these offenses lately.  Then there is college...so by the time they get to the NFL, they are way ahead.   

The offenses are basically the same...you throw in some new wrinkles and plays... it's basically all the same.  Then the difference on game day is how you call it.   We aren't there yet.  This stage is just running the plays.   Not rocket science to where anyone who's job is to study the plays isn't going to get it.

They make millions of dollars to know this stuff... you think they are going to waste time not learning it? 

For landscaping jobs on the side?

Who is arguing... just saying that in the NFL they are going to tackle Mailata at the legs.
