Defensive formation on 3rd and 16 in Eagles game.

I don't love that our answer to doubling their only threat is having 2 safeties in trail technique. That's bad coaching.

If we are going to play man and double him, then do it properly and bracket him.

I agree that I would have put Taylor on Goddard instead of Harris given that Philly were down their top two WRs. But, while I might have done different things, I still don't have an issue with the play call. The execution just sucked. And, I suspect the reason for it had a lot to do with having someone spy on Hurts to stop him from running for the first. It didn't work there, but the D did a good job of stopping Hurts from running the entire game and when you only give up 15 you should expect to win.
