Sophomore Slump This

[Kevinicus]

Nick Foles had a 98 rating in his first 16 games. You were saying something about facts.

Where did you calculate that? 7 games in 2012, and the first 9 in 2013 came to 100.5

Edit. I guess you're right. I must have entered a number wrong. 98.7.

Doesn't change much though. Foles and RG3 are right there too. So you have 4 really good players (one of which wasn't exactly fresh out of college), 2 duds, and Dak. Reason for optimism, but also enough to say it's far from a sure thing.

Expect more Cover 5 from defenses. Help take away the outside zone runs and the bootlegs while being able to effectively double Dez. However, that puts Beasley and Switzer in favorable situations one-on-one and defenses might gamble occasionally, leaving a LB on Beasley. It also gives us favorable matchups on runs up the A-Gap. That's why we really need to get the LG and RT situation resolved, so we can take advance of inside zone runs...force teams out of Cover 5 and balance our play direction.

Plus, the QB can and will run if your interior defenders have their backs turned in coverage. We're really hard to defend these days.

I see no reason why we can't have similar success. Beasley had a career year with Dak, and we went out and added another Beasley. We also brought back Williams to keep our WR corps intact. Obviously, the biggest question mark is O-line. Will losing Leary and Free completely derail this offense?
