Defensive formation on 3rd and 16 in Eagles game.

Eagles saw man…. Ran a crosser / pick concept route combo when they saw it. And our guys obliged by doing their best 3 stooges impression. In that situation and down and distance you should be in quarters zone with your guys back at the sticks. Invite the quick throw and come up to make the tackle. We do it all the time. This was the time to do it again. It was an aggressive call, but not a smart one. Especially given the QB you’re playing. With all your DBs in man and with their backs turned to the QB…. You risk a big run by Hurts in that coverage too. That’s all I got.
100 percent! Shades of the San Fran CG game many moons ago. Paging Gregg Williams. Come on down. That hurt worse because that team was the best Saints team ever.
