4. Andy Reid

Reid is the first offensive coach to modernize the NFL since Walsh and Gibbs.

Reid was Mike Holmgren’s assistant coach on the Packers from 1992 to 1998. And Holmgren was Bill Walsh’s assistant coach on the 49ers from 1986 to 1988. So Reid comes from the Walsh tree. But Reid diverged where others didn’t, others such as Holmgren, Jon Gruden and Steve Mariucci. Those three were more faithful to Walsh’s original West Coast Offense. Reid took the West Coast Offense and blended it with new-age spread-offense concepts that have taken over college football the past 15 years. Stuff Chip Kelly tried to bring to the NFL, but failed.

Kelly’s offense was too simple -- he called the same few plays over and over. And he constantly used a hurry-up offense, which forced his defense to play most of the game. He had a gimmick. Reid took parts of Kelly’s gimmick and added them to an already-dense West Coast Offense playbook. Added the zone reads, the run-pass options, the shifts and the motions. And now when you think of Andy’s Reid’s offense, you think of little Tyreek Hill running around behind the line of scrimmage causing the defense to panic before the play even starts. Reid made the game smaller and faster -- defenses have to match up with Hill and players like him. Call it small ball.

Every team wants its own Tyreek Hill. Its own gadget player who can play wide receiver or running back. That’s Deebo Samuel on the 49ers. Any team that doesn’t use lots of motions and shifts before the snap probably will fire its offensive coordinator soon. He’s outdated.

Hello, Rich Scangarello. It’s a staple to the Shanahan scheme.

So I wonder how long we have to wait until we find out who the Eagles will choose from the free agent running back pool?

I suspect they won't do anything until cut time after TC

That's a nice article, but I think it misses part of the point.

Hill isn't special because he's a gadget who can play running back and is dangerous behind the LOS.  Motions, shifts, jet sweeps, etc are not inherently good, bad, or innovative.

Hill is special and the Chiefs are great because of space.  They get open in all areas of the field.  Deep, underneath, over the middle, sidelines, etc.  The point isn't to look for a RB/WR hybrid, it's to look for a Torry Holt/Marvin Harrison/Ty Hill type who combines pure speed with quickness with routes to always be open, regardless of size.

Not only am I over 40 but I speak French - not as well as I used to - and when I see meme I see something different from what the younger monoglots see. I have to do a mental gymnastic, which often gets me landing on my left hemispheric cortex.

I said something similar to this a while back but wasn't worded as well.  How do we give a voice to the moderates so we can work together?  The extremists are the ones who are running the show and like you said shouting the loudest.

We have a voice.  That is the problem as individual people we forget that. Speak up individually and if you have a group, like the local businessman’s association, the Mason’s, the Chamber of Congress, your church etc., even better.  I am not sure where mine York county you are and gone are the days of Todd Platts and no PACs but you have a voice.  Now in the primaries the left and the right get attention but in the general election, moderates, independents are the money.  Left are going Democrat or sit out (2016) or vote a fringe candidate. Right are either going to Vote Republican, sit out or vote a fringe candidate. Us moderates, we can be swayed but the key is that what sways us is different especially how we vote.  Clearest bet to get enough of us is pocketbook issues.

Good stuff, CE. I think Doug does the same thing as AR only with his tweaks. Excited to see how Press, Scangarello, Marty, Moorehead, Breiner, Duce, Stout, Pagnetti, Peele, Bartrum, Instavan and maybe Harper, a young coach I think they are grooming, collaborate and scheme.
