Seattle tells Philly their offense is pretty basic

[Yakuza Rich]

I'm still not buying this guy. His offenses can score points, but never win the big ones. University of New Hampshire? C'mon man. They play football in New Hampshire?

He had a great career at Oregon. Almost won the National Championship and really lost against Auburn on a fluke play.

He's having a great career at Philadelphia thus far and usually college coaches struggle in the pros.

His issue will become when teams start to figure out his offense better and if defenses adjust personnel to that offense. The Seahawks have big, physical corners and good tackling safeties. So much of the Kelly offense is based on WR screens. Dallas does not have good tackling corners outside of Scandrick. And Chancellor and Thomas are far better than Wilcox and Church. I think Philly is as bad of a matchup for Dallas as Seattle is as bad of a matchup for Philly.

Giving up on the season then?

They can be doing two things when Sanchez looks to handoff. Looking to see our ends reaction and watching our LBs to see if he freezing them up to hit that drag route.

We need to review how Seattle reacted to Sproles motioning out to line up with receivers. We looked confused on Thanksgiving when they would do that.

The DE's will have to play like they played against Seattle.

Well they sure as hell better learn how to tackle next Sunday or the season could be going up in smoke! This is mostly the same defense that beat Philly last year and beat Seattle at home. The zone read should not be something akin to calculus...they have seen this business before.

This is what i've been saying for 2 years. Glad someone finally listened to me

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

You can't scheme a win against a good offense. You have to stand toe to toe with them and out punch them. I just don't think the Cowboys can do that with their current personnel.

There I fixed it for you!

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Not at all.

We can go 11-5 and still make the playoffs. And we can get into the playoffs and never have to face Philly. Sometimes, some teams are just bad matchups for other teams.

Contain McCoy and make Sanchez beat you, to bad we're not good enough to do that

 

[cowboys2233]

Well not their exact words, but a few of the more vocal Seahawks are dishing up some serious disrespect for the Eagles. You hear that Marinelli? A pretty BASIC OFFENSE!

Too funny! The Hawks are back to talking smack again. It sounds REALLY good when they're trashing the Eagles. LOL.

The Philly offense IS basic.
It's just that it allows so may options from the basically the same thing, that it can be deadly.

I'm not saying it's apples and apples, but recall way back when the wish-bone and other option related schemes were killing people. So much of it was execution by good players who fit the scheme.
Complicated, it wasn't.

BTW, Dallas did beat Philly once last year and came within a hair of doing it twice.

Thats why the Philly offense has been giving everyone fits. It may be simple... but it is pretty effective if you ask me.

Only against weaker teams, when they play top echelon teams they wilt and Chippy's college offense is nullified and exposed.

its starting to become more clear now. Their offense is machine against bad defenses but isn't holding up against better defenses.

 

[Clove]

Stop the run, you give yourself a chance to make Sanchez Sanchez.

 

[lostar2009]

I think it is the furthest from basic if you ask me..Seattle laid the blueprint down to beat it...Keep them from getting the big play,,keep them off the field as along as possible and make damn tackles!!!!!

Wilcox will make several miss tackles and Church will be reliable until that one play occurs.

 

[erod]

Maybe you should backpeddle and change your original post because my response shows you were not correct.

No, I wasn't incorrect. I was referring to these big end-of-season games against REAL teams, not that nonsense you play on the west coast. A non-conference game against a cellar dweller doesn't count.

Great career so far? Not really. I think our definition of great differs quite a bit.

 

[FLcowboy]

It's effective against bad defenses.

Against good defenses...not so much.

Just for the heck of it, I did some number crunching regarding the Philly and Dallas offense and defense averages

The Eagles give up an average of 23.8 points per game, while scoring an average of 29.9 ppg.
The Cowboys give up an average of 22.5 ppg, and score an average of 26.4 ppg.

The the high powered Eagle offense scores 3.5 points more per game than Dallas, while the reported weak Dallas defense actually gives up 1.3 fewer points per game than the Eagles.
While the 3.5 points differential on offense is significant, the fact that Dallas is running the ball for over 100 yards (or a lot more) per game, and thus burning up the clock, I believe the 3.5 points difference is insignificant. Philly is not going to shut down Murray, At the same time, Philly is going to double team Bryant, and Williams is going to break out for a big game.

I hate sounding like one of the negative nancys, but I really don't see us winning this game. I wouldn't be shocked if we win 2 out of 3, but I also wouldn't be shocked if we went 1 out of 3 or lost out. I have no reason to believe we can beat the Eagles, hope they change that.

I promise you a Cowboy win.

He took a team that went 4-12 and they've gone 19-10 under him with his QB's being Mike Vick, Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez.

That's not what I characterize as great. Great IMO means doing something great like winning a championship.

Given that he's been coaching for about 1.5 years...I think he's off to great start considering he took over a 4-12 squad.
