Phire Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 This same staff wanted Nelson to be an outside WR before this year. I wouldn't be shocked if he's the Torrey Smith replacement. They'll have the rest of the group working the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLick12 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If the question is can he do what Torrey Smith is doing? The answer is a resounding yes. That's a pretty low bar to clear. Due to cap, the Eagles are going to have to take some gambles at different positions, I think the combination of Hollins/Johnson is a very reasonable gamble to take on an outside WR. Also, if we were smart at all, we'd run way more two TE sets with Burton and Ertz on the field and just use Jeffery/Agholor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlesthought Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If they were smart they'd move Alshon all over, in the slot with Burton/Ertz outside, let him big body a smaller slot corner. They could still run those underneath routes with the TE. I would love to see more bunch sets as well. Not for the screens but to help get separation downfield to get those natural rub routes.

Yeah I know, it's impossible to have the lines offset on this website for that post. One of the TEs and one of the WRs would be off the line sir.

I personally love it, and it plays to our strength in personnel. I believe this was the Clement TD catch in the far right side of end zone, if I'm not mistaken. Just offers up so much space in the pass game, and you can run out of it to either side depending on where the RB lines up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the nice thing, there's like a billion options with two TE sets. You can have both Ertz and Burton on one side and play Alshon / Agholor as twins to the other. But as far as standard, I think you'd obviously just have to roll with Alshon and Agholor on the outsides. EDIT: 808 just mentioned it above.

Phire Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We should almost always be in 2 TE sets. Most teams can't match Ertz and Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why we don't do this more? Maybe it's in the master plan to be employed more during the playoffs. Surprise defenses? Sure hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Burton's playing for a new contract and starting job somewhere, he's gotta be on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
