How to handle a blitz is going to be an important topic of conversation in the Philadelphia sports world this holiday weekend.
While the Philadelphia Eagles offense has looked inept at handling blitzes during their current six-week plummet into the abyss, guard Tyrese Maxey is showing a lot of improvement in that area. With Joel Embiid missing time lately, opposing defenses have opted to blitz Tyrese more often in attempt to get the ball out of his hands and force other Sixers to beat them. Sound strategy by the opposition based upon what we’ve seen most of this season.
