Twitter: The Attention DLaw Gets In One Picture

[817Gill]

Can’t say I’ve seen a triple team too often lol, Eagles threw all they could at him Sunday and it helped Randy out a lot. For those who don’t appreciate Law I’m not sure what to say.

This is exactly why having a well rounded team is important. If you double and triple team one man you have 3 other lineman with 1v1 matchups.

imagine if we had a true pass rush threat up the middle.

There's a bad habit of letting the hate go too far on this board, and that involves a lot of our players. Im guilty of going in on guys as well, but credit where credit is due.

This is why watching the video is more important than a still image: 2 of the 3 Philly players dropped off DLaw after a being near one another for about a second, moved inside, and DLaw was left one on one with the TE.

A pass rush is about 2.5 seconds man, both of them being there for 1 second is a huge impediment.

Gregory on the opposite side with a full offseason, and a real threat at 3t - whether that's an improved Gallimore or someone else, and a monster 1t, and his sacks will "magically" go back up because he won't be facing those double and triple teams.

Point is he really wasn't triple teamed as the TE shifted inside after the RT initial chuck and picked up Lawrence while the 2 linemen in the photo shifted inside.

More proof.

Can you imagine those two together? Dang it, Rod.

Show me a yearly breakdown of his 'plays made' and let's see a trend develop.

yes that is true, and I think there is truth to dlaw also warrenting more attention than the others...although there were points in that game where it felt like they had 8 oline men and we were rushing 2

Point of the thread is he gets a bunch of attention. Three blockers turning their attention to DLaw for any amount of time during the snap isn’t just common practice.

The idea, though, is to stop his initial move. If the offense can do that, generally it's a win ... unless the quarterback has to hold the ball very long.

This was exactly what a triple-team is. Hardly ever will you see a team triple-team a player for the entire extent of the play. They want to stop the defender's initial movement to get the advantage and then either move on to other blocks or become an outlet.

 

[T-RO]

Wasn't an intentional triple team. O-line just set up a wall since QB was rolling out. Eagles respect DLaw, but not that much.

There are very few true pass rushing threats up the middle without blitzing

He was chipped then one on one

817Gil: Here is DLaw getting doubled teamed.

CBZ Posters: Only at the beginning of the play

817Gil: That's the way it works.

CBZ Posters: So you saying he sucks.

If we had one we probably wouldn’t have extended the other but it would have been sonething

He was though. He took the attention of 3 players on one play. Even most double teams one lineman has responsibility for that man, the other has a separate responsibility. If run it’s likely to be a chip the defender and get to the second level. It’s extremely rare that two players have the same responsibility for an entire play. It’s 11 v 11, the math doesn’t add up that way.

Eagles don't have Pro bowler Lane Johnson to handle Dlaw - which he usually does very well vs Dlaw - the irony is Randy Gregory began
getting double team after the LT simply could not handle him ... where's the double team pic on Gregory.

Also if Tomsula was creative, he'd move and run twists and stunts with DLaw inside to nickel DT on 3rd and long downs.

BTW, Jerry addresses why our DL coach was reducing Gregory to less than 20 snaps -" he definitely needs to be on the play field more "

Calvin Johnson (Detroit) use to get the triple team and he would still catch it.
