Loss to Eagles is on DA

I don’t really want to go around in circles. Yes, Howden ran into Lattimore. Harris got beat at the snap and nobody else was close to their best receiver. Neither of them are even close to being our best DBs. Lattimore, our pro bowl corner, was covering a guy with 2 catches for 8 yards. It was a poorly designed play when considering who they needed to cover. Situational awareness was not a thing on that play. Dumping it on Howden doesn’t work for me, even if he “falls on the sword”.

We can agree to disagree.

Personally I would have had Taylor in man coverage on Goedert with a Safety over the top braketing him. So to that extent I don't like the play call either. I'm just saying that playing two high safeties with man underneath isn't really that bad of a call and had 3 guys not run into each other, it would have been a 10 to 15 yard gain at best, not a 61 yard play. What happened was the worst case scenario under those circumstances and it's poor execution whether it was Howden's fault or Harris' fault. A team should be able to play man, even against a Mesh concept, without having 3 guys taken out running into each other.

Frankly, the major concern on 3rd and 15 with 1:15 left on the clock is not a Mesh concept or anything underneath. The concern is someone getting deep on you and that's not what happened here. Frankly since Howden was supposed to be the high safety playing zone on that side, I'm not sure what the hell he was doing chasing a crossing route to the other side of the field.

But, you disagree and that's cool.
