agreed, we should run this more with Heinicke.  

I just feel like JDR often tries to outsmart teams with complex concepts and it never works and especially never works when we are playing a lot of backups.  

 

Doesn’t look like we’re playing a complicated defense to me. I’ve seen some simple zone & some straight up man.

On the TD play a play action w/ a zone read mesh, the  ran sprint right and threw it back to the left corner of the end zone. That’s hard to defend.

They just look unsure of their roles and slow to me, lot of hesitation.

Damn Heinicke w/ the high throw again! That should’ve been a TD to Bates.

They need to be running the ball more exotically in the red zone with some off tackle, some zone read w/ Heinicke & some inside zone. This 3 yards & a cloud of dust bc our OL sucks at run blocking ain’t cutting it.

It was clear that Mayo let the TE slip out and wasn't where he was supposed to be. Good thing we have great LB depth.

Probably are bc they haven’t faced an O like this all year.

I kind of think of this as the eagles with less of a passing game.  But Mariota is looking a lot more dynamic than Hurts did.  You are probably right, it is just the injuries.  Jeez do we need help at linebacker.
