Eagles v Pats Game thread *Merged*

[Bizwah]

It's nice to see the Pats getting a good game. But I still hate the Eagles.

This game will soon be a blowout. The Pats will score on this drive and it'll be all over.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

How many teams have ever had a passing attack quite like this?

The Marino/Marks Brothers era Dolphins were pretty darn close.

michael j fox for a bunch.

Geez, how annoying is that. A 3rd and 12 and they almost score a TD.

UGH

Afraid so.

So how does a team stop a slant? Seems like thats a given play as long as the QB doesn't get hit...the defense can't stop it inless your tailing the runner and then your taking a chance on getting a penalty

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I can see that and that's probably what theogt is talking about. That's what GB does to with those slants and that's probably why they don't care that they don't run that much either.

always remember this, theo never knows what he's talking about

2ndly, the 4-5 yards the slant gets them is what you want from a good running game, it's a very hard route to defend, it's used to beat man coverage, but it's even more effective against a zone

as long as teams respect the deep ball of the Pats, they can run slants all day in place of having a running game

 

[LowTech]

Why didn't the Patsies play this mortal when we played them

 

[CowboyBlog]

Break inside and pick it, but that is an all or nothing proposition. Won't work very often and typically you'll give up the farm.

 

[zeroburrito]

they did. we were beating them for awhile.

You can jump the slant route or play very strong inside technique, but that sets you up for getting burned deep.

The Vikings did and were 15-1...No Superbowl tho.

Not so fast my friend. That's not Donnie Mac out there at QB for the Eagles.
