Defensive formation on 3rd and 16 in Eagles game.

It's not an odd call versus a man heavy team. Let's say the mesh doesn't work and our guys fight through the "screens", you still have a decent chance at a 7-8 yard completion with potential for a broken tackle and YAC, or at the very least set yourself up for a manageable 4th and medium. But the reward is high if the defenders get caught in traffic, as we saw. It's a very easy playcall for what we show defensively.

On the average defensive play sure. But we don't always play man in two minute situations and we played a lot of zone today to contain Hurts.
