Twitter: Eagles players anonymously calling their offense "very predictable." Mentions Cowboys playcalling in comparison

Real nice to see the Cowboys on the other side of this conversation for once.

This is because not many understand how to run it.. Big Mike is one of the pioneers of the system and is one of the best QB gurus in the world..

The name your looking for is Walsh..not MM..he does through much thin bleeding come from this tree i believe if i cross my eyes.....

 

[JW82]

this is pretty incredible honestly. i had my reservations about kellen, but he did have the offense scoring points. i thought a new direction was needed but didn't think in year one mccarthy would out-do it so blatantly.

Agreed. I'm sure play design has made a difference but I think the play calling itself has made the bigger difference.

the route combo's are way diferent with a place or player in target..huge diference between the schemes...

It's funny how the complaining starts as soon as a team loses a couple of games. Remember how great they were when AJ Brown was catching 12 passes for 125 yards every game?

I think the Eagles are just used to being declared the winners before the games start and these losses have broken their bubble. If they beat up on the Seahawks next week, everything will be great again.

No joke. They've gone from "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are watching history and the BEST TEAM in the NFL!" and "Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown are MVPs this year!" to....

• Their coordinators are on the hot seat!
• They are soft!
• Their defense is trash!
• Their playcalling is a joke!

Again... I'm just glad it's not us again this year. And hope it stays that way.

Juxtaposition complete.pre

Still, both of our backs averaged under 4 yards per carry. Early on, though, we had some good runs and the end-arounds to Turpin and Lamb were effective.

I haven't rewatched the game to confirm, but is felt like the Eagles really focused on applying pressure at the LOS in the 2nd half with a heavy box.

 

[Joe Realist]

Funny, because before the bye week, Dak didnt look great, McCarthy didnt trust him, and there was no motion in the offense.

Hmm audio is not working for me. Anyone not able to listen?

..same here, no audio.. ???

 

[TNCowboy]

The Eagles struggled, apart from fumbles, because their QB is an average passer, and they're trying to throw the ball like it's their strength. They do their opponents a favor. They continuously played to the strength of our D.

Damone Clark was awful. He constantly takes himself out of plays and forces the undersized Bell to make most of the tackles.

Remember when the Cowboys had a very predictable offense during the Garrett/Kellen era?

Change the batteries in the hearing aids.

Remember when the Cowboys had a very predictable offense during the Garrett/Kellen era?

And constantly sucked?

Yep. We've been through a previous decade of other teams calling out our plays and our offense as too easy and predictable. Now that the entire Garrett stench, including Moore, is gone we are free.

 

[Clove]

Yup. We heard the same about Garrett AND Moore's offense being too predictable. Haven't heard that this year. Just took a few games to get it clicking. Adding more motion and not being hesitant to go deep has made it the top O in the NFL. 6ppg better than last year BTW.

Mainly Lenihan and Garrett.

 

[ATXSRT]

McCarthy deserves a ton of credit for this season. A lot of people are starting to recognize it.

Its unfortunate that the "power run game" never materialized. With it, Dallas would be completely unstoppable.

Imagine this team with a 2016 Elliot and line..... whoooooo

 

[viman96]

FYI here a link with working audio

 

[Vanilla2]

This is where we come out after the game and talk about how we knew what they were doing. Opportunity missed lol

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They miss their OC from last year like no tomorrow...

They miss their DC too. They told us how bad Gannon was but they looked far better with him.

The first time I ever seen this happen .
