Episode notes
Goedert Injury Alters Game Plan
- Dallas Goedert's knee sprain is a new, significant development and he missed Wednesday practice.
- The Eagles will monitor his status closely because his availability affects formations and run-blocking plans.
Use A Sixth Lineman For Heavy Sets
- Consider using a sixth lineman in heavy run formations rather than a second tight end to improve blocking.
- Adjust formations if tight end depth is thin to avoid predictable failures in the run game.
Bigsby Trade Was About RB Depth
- The Tank Bigsby trade is more about adding running-back talent and depth than just kick returns.
- The Eagles value his rushing upside and two years left on a rookie deal to secure backfield insurance.
