Defensive formation on 3rd and 16 in Eagles game.

The call was fine. I still put it all on Howden. He had no business going up hill. He's the last line of defense and the only safety back there. He didn't do his job by protecting the TD and gambled going uphill and took out his two teammates in the process. The angle was horrible. Not even sure what he was thinking there.

It's not on Howden. He did what they asked him to do which was to double the TE. If the coaches were going that route, they needed to put him in a robber type of spot presnap where he could bracket inside releases. Instead the call was for 2 safeties to play trail technique which is pretty criminal.
