Webnews: Andy Reid: I was optimistic, but didn’t know rookie DBs

[Coach]

The Philadelphia Eagles run the RPO, one thing on defense to be very aware of is to know where the ball is. Ball presence, ball awareness.

I remember when I played defensive end and tackle, I was always ahead of the offense because I kept my eyes on the ball and the offense at the same time and I would be on them so fast and disrupt everything they were doing.

We can match this secondary up depending upon what package they are in and take advantage of the slower players. I would also bet that they might have lost a step or two.

Looked at both Giants vs and 49ers vs Eagles. Appears that Eagles will want to use either left or right outside the offensive tackle plays, run or pass most of the time. Depending on what defensive set the opposing team is in will they want to run inside the tackles. Hurts appears that he doesn't want to take a hit because of his shoulder injury. Wants to throw downfield to the sideline. If we can get pressure on him and disrupt his timing, we can force turnovers. Get our offense on the field and eat the clock and score. Keeping Hurts on the sideline. However if the big play is there, take it because the Eagles secondary is for the taken.
