Jerry will tie the NFL up in litigation for 20 years. Trying to stop the Commish's extension is not grounds for losing your franchise.
As for game he said Falcons D plays a wide 9 with ends on edge and they had trouble with it. Asked about blame and adjusting he just hemmed and hawed and said they needed to get better across the board
So what happens this week with Jim Schwartz wide 9 Jerry??
How could the coaches have trouble with wide 9? We've seen it plenty of times playing the EaGirls. EaGirls had that type of defense 5 years ago with Barwin and Trent Cole lining up as Wide 9.
How can our coaching staff not be familiar with the Wide nine? Its not like its some super secret defense or anything, been around forever. In fact one of the Eagles old DC's used to run it too, Jim Johnson. One of the ways to defeat the wide nine is to use a fullback and have him block the gap that is naturally created between our offensive tackle and the opponents defensive End. Our Offensive tackle basically allows the defensive End to take himself out of the play by rushing so wide that it naturally creates a huge lane between our tackle and their end. You send a lead blocker like a fullback into that lane to clean up the linebacker and the halfback should be able to take advantage and make some really good yardage. In fact,.... the right kind of running game can have HUGE success against the wide nine. IF you have a real coaching staff that is.
Jim Washburn ran the wide 9 not Jim Johnson. Schwartz doesn't really run a wide 9 per se or at least not as strictly as Washburn ran it. This article explains his defense pretty well.

Much like Zeke, the NFLPA and the NFL, we are poised for and enormous case of brinkmanship. This has all the look and feel of classic Al Davis vs. the NFL. Had it not been for the Zeke case, this might be interesting to watch. Now, it just seems sad.
If they had trouble with the Falcons having their ends wide, wait until they get a load of the Eagles.
No they assigned him to block jaylon smith and jaylon keeps looping around him taking himself out of the playAnybody know if Chaz Green has given up a sack today?

Correct he has not and neither has McNair as of now.Jerry hasn't said anything racist..........yet. McNair might want to watch out though.
