Durrtay Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 ok, so this will probably get buried in lieu of the goings on, but i wanted to get a forum to break down the eagles plays they run that we keep falling victim to. So i personally have noticed they run alot of reversals and screens that we give up big yards to but what does andy reid know that we don't???

foreverfalcon Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Andy has a lot of FAST weapons on his team (always has). They are a good team that stretches the edge. Vick in the mix never helps as he is so fast too. Our vanilla D playcalling is a crap shoot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The good news is DeSean Jackson is holding out for a new contract. Maybe it will get ugly between him and the Eagles and we won't have to see him in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrtay Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 yea desean seems like it's all about the $$$ anyways so... but even still, how do we beat them this year? and why do we fall prey to the plays that every other team in the NFL stops... i swear i've never seen so many trick plays go for a gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyArabFalconFan Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) We usually fall victim to all their screen plays, draws , reverses and some play actions. Basically we have to get rid of the bend but dont break mentality on defense and force Vick to win the game with his arm by trying to confuse him with different looks and not being afraid to be aggressive. Im still not convinced that Vick can read defenses and we should try and take advantage of that.

He is one of the most underpaid guys in the league, and he is tiny. I can't blame him for wanting to get a deal in place before somebody breaks him in half.

Durrtay Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 heck the last game i think of with the eagles vick wasnt in and the still dominated with trick plays and passed for 400 yards... why? why always andy reid??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 heck the last game i think of with the eagles vick wasnt in and the still dominated with trick plays and passed for 400 yards... why? why always andy reid???This is a question that I have been asking as well. Andy Reid definitely has our number.The Eagles seem to have had our number for some time now. I honestly don't have an answer to why that is, but I hope this year is the year we put an end to it. I would love a blow out win against them, but he*ll I would be satified winning by a slim margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were we would get blown the *&^% out, with your thoughts on the Eagles starting QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrtay Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 but still does anyone have like a... (sorry apparently the elipses[...] is my best friend) like playcall break down of our games with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry apparently the elipses[...] is my best friend) like playcall break down of our games with them?Have you tried to search youtube? One thing that Andy does is throw the ball down field, which keeps the safeties out of the proverbial box, which in turn sets up the misdirection plays.

Tandy Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I don't blame him. He is one of the most underpaid guys in the league, and he is tiny. I can't blame him for wanting to get a deal in place before somebody breaks him in half.Especially since he knows he's got to face Dunta again.Seriously, the guy is talented - cocky, yes - but he backs it up - so he deserves to get paid.

Tandy Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Andy Reid likes to use the quick strike. They'll come out on the very first play and try to strike a long bomb for a TD. They like to score quick and get the other team on their heels trying to catch up.That's his MO - quick - explosive plays on the offense- and lots of speed. Screens, reverses - anything to try to get that quick score and take advantage of the speed on their team.Then the defense just blitzes the **** out of you - over and over and over - that's what they do - and it always seems to work against us. If the Falcons could shut down that first blitz of explosion and not let them get ahead - they can probably hang with them and maybe win the game.It's going to be hard though - Andy Reid has always pretty much had his way with us.

#1 pick Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Philly probably gonna beat us. People want to play there, no one wants to play here unless they get overpaid. This is BS. Edited July 28, 2011 by #1 pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyArabFalconFan Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Good thing you are not the DC. If you were we would get blown the *&^% out, with your thoughts on the Eagles starting QB.So you think he can read defenses consistently? Ehh I need to see him actually audible to plays and try running a no huddle to believe that. Telegraphing our Blitzes and Laying back in Coverage just isn't going to cut it against playoff caliber teams with speed at virtually every position.

Maybe it will get ugly between him and the Eagles and we won't have to see him in that game.We didn't see him after the about half way through the 2nd quarter in the last game, or the game before, and they beat the brakes off of us in both of those. I hate the ******* Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
