Eagle Eye: A Tough Scheme To Defend

Related Topics: Touchdown, Wide receiver, Tight end

All preseason, the Eagles' offense has given fans a taste of what its identity will be this season from a schematic standpoint, increasing by degree with each passing game. This week against the Colts was really a good glimpse at what this unit can be.

In the run game, you have more than a handful of different blocking schemes to go along with a collection of ball carriers. There’s a misdirection element involved, and with the multitude of different formations and personnel groupings, defenses should have a hard time pinning down tendencies on the ground.

In the passing game, there are deep shots weaved into the structure of the offense (mainly through three-level stretch concepts), but this is a quick-hitting air attack.
