How did Coach Clapper and Staff Not Know What Wide 9 Was?

Seriously, the freaking Eagles have played this same defense against us in the past

How the hell did Coach Clapper and Staff have no idea what it was or how to counter it

This is just ineptitude beyond the scale of what should be acceptable at this level, just wow

They just think they can run their offense and not adjust.. Stupidity and arrogance.

The Wagles have played this defense since Jim Johnson roamed the sidelines. It's a load of crap.....

They knew what it was. The picture is basically pointless.

Of course they knew was it was. We've seen them face it before. For whatever reason, they weren't comfortable running off tackle stuff to the left with Cooper in there regularly, and they weren't willing to commit an extra blocker to that side on every single play. When they did, Green still wasn't able to get outside in time. Between the 6 sacks and the 3 holding calls, the offense was in a lot of 2nd and 3rd and forevers. Those don't convert with pressure off the blindside edge, as we saw.

The issue wasn't with the formation. The issue was not having a swing OT on the team capable of playing at even a stop-gap passable level.

They knew what it was.

Of course the Cowboys knew what it was.

But by pretending they didn't allows the Garrett bashing to continue.

He was absent from class that day at Princeton?
