Films expert Greg Cosell on Saints run scheme (1 Viewer)

[BlackNGoldblood]

This was in reference to the Falcons running a similar medium to wide zone running scheme as the Saints. On Inside the Birds podcast, Cosell said “very often teams are not beaten by the exact same thing two weeks in a row..because they practice it.”
Thought this was important to bring up with this game upcoming in the Dome. Cosell mentions this very early in the video linked below. Cosell will have an extensive discussion of the Saints as a whole in a podcast later this week, although he did say here that the Saints ran their run scheme exceptionally well last week.

I saw huff in some videos and I just don't think he can play the run well. I still think we run all over them. Probably 200 yards or more.

Granted we are only two games in but the Eagles have looked bad on run defense for two games in a row. I guess they can have a miraculous turnaround, but I don’t think it starts against the Saints offensive line.

Would be funny if we hit them w/ Gap schemes and pulling Guards this week just to F with them, but I agree w/ Cosell, them having a short week is mitigated by them getting a 2nd look at a similar scheme. They'll make adjustments.

Fangio's defenses are typically solid against the run, I don't think the Eagles have the talent at LB to make it fully work. Baun had a good 1st game but as noted even in that game he was making tackles 5-8 yards behind the LOS. For those who remember Stephone Anthony and how misleading his rookie season was, you kind of get the point.

GB gashed them and Atl gashed them, so it has happened to Philly 2wks in a row...probably will be a trifecta!

Greg Cosell is the best!

Well their Defensive Line has only yielded 1 pressure and they got walmart brand Linebackers. On paper, they are not as bad as they are playing and I expected more from the Dline, hopefully they don't turn it around this week.

There weren't getting any pass rush against the Falcons either.

I think you meant beyond the LOS, not behind.

And even with all those yards given up, they still almost beat the Falcons. So, we better be prepared. We have never played Jalen Hurts well. I expect a close game.

With Philly & focusing on the "run", Olave & Rashid sitting there grinning, rubbing their hands together like Birdman.

I expect one of these guys to either get a long completion or 6.
