Episode notes
Eagles Offense Lacks Clear Identity
- A.J. Brown says the offense isn't imposing its will and the defense keeps bailing them out.
- Mike Florio agrees Brown warns the Eagles won't sustain success without fixing playcalling and identity.
Short Yardage Is The Only Scripted Part
- The Eagles' only clear short-yardage identity is the 'tush push,' leaving other downs feeling unplanned.
- That predictability and randomness elsewhere undermine consistent offensive dominance.
Design Plays Around Your Best Players
- Use your best players to achieve team goals and design plays that utilize their strengths.
- If a chess piece can help win, incorporate it rather than hiding it away.
