Fun Andy Reid Article
While not exceptionally in-depth, I really enjoyed this article.
Last week, we checked out Mike Martz’s game plan—going back inside the pages of my notebooks from my playing days in the NFL. Schemes, tendencies, route concepts, etc. A complete breakdown of what Martz was doing as a play caller. Today, let’s take a look at Eagles’ head coach Andy Reid. The west coast system in Philly hasn’t changed much since I was playing them twice a season with the Redskins. An offense that focuses on inside breaking routes. And, like we talked about last week, coaches don’t change their identity. Here are my game prep notes and a breakdown of the Eagles’ offense… ICON Reid's west coast system hasn't changed much over the years. 2005: Philadelphia at Washington Breakdowns and tendencies are complied from the opponent’s four previous games… Reid’s personnel groupings: Pro: 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 RB Ace: 2 WR, 2 TE, 1 RB Posse: 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB Tank: 1 WR, 2 TE, 2 RB Jumbo: 3 TE, 2 RB Key personnel in breakdown: No. 81: WR Terrell Owens (Owens was the focus of the passing game) No. 36: RB Brian Westbrook Receiver terminology X= Split End Z=Flanker Y= on the line TE U= 2nd TE in the game W=Slot receiver R= RB F= FB *Game plan tip: No.81 aligned out of position--he is getting the ball. Screens: 14 total screens: Posse (8x)/ Ace (3x) 1st and 10=5x 2nd and 10=5x Alerts: Most screens run in plus territory 9 screens to our left/ 6 to our right Throwback screen: Alert QB sprint action to our left Bunch into the boundary (sidelines) alert screen to No.36 No.36 motion to empty= missile (bubble) screen Gadgets Alert to No. 81 aligned out of position (T.O. was the “X’” receiver) Double reverse out of Pro personnel to No.81 Flea-flicker out of Ace personnel: No.81 aligned inside of the numbers All reverses are run to our right Eagles 1st and 2nd down *75% percent pass to run ratio Top run concepts: Broken down into two-back and one-back runs. The same runs we see with LeSean McCoy today in Philly. Two-back runs 1. Lead Weak 2. Stretch Strong One-back runs 1. Stretch Strong 2. Stretch Weak 3. Draw ICON 1st and 2nd down? Expect the Hi-Lo passing concepts from Kolb and Philly. Top pass concepts *Vs. the west coast system, the majority of the routes want to be completed between the hash marks and the numbers 1. Hi-Lo (square in- shallow crosser) 2. Hi-Lo opposite (shallow crossers from opposite sides) 3. Hi-Lo Triple In (square in-shallow crosser-angle) 4. Middle Read (9-dig-9 combo) 5. All slants 6. Tare (option-flat combo) 7. Yankee (Deep crosser by “Z”/ Deep 7 by “X”) 8. Outs 9. Hitches 10. Flood 11.

Pass Protections Always know what protection schemes you are going to face in your blitz packages 3rd and 2-6: 6-man protection (10x) 3rd and 7-10” 7-man protections(11x)/ 6-man protections(9x) 3rd and 11-plus: 7-man protection (7x)/ 6-man protection (7 x) Empty tips (no backs in backfield) QB under center= 3-step passing tree QB in gun= Hi-Lo concepts Alerts: Doubles Y Off= Double moves Alert Missile Screen Top Runs: 1.

Tare (empty) 7. All Slants 3rd and 7-10 1. Middle Read (big play for Jeremy Maclin today) 2. NCAA (Z- Dig/ Y- shallow crosser/ X-Post) 3. Sprint (Smash-7 combo) 3rd and 11+ 1. Sticks (All Curls) 2. Dagger (Seam-Dig combo) 3. Double Dig 4. 999 (4 Verticals) 5. Sucker (Curl-Dig combo) 6. Pin (Dig-Post combo) Eagles 2-minute offense *Alert screen/draw to start series Alerts: 97% Posse/ Pony (2 RBs in the backfield) 3 screens 6-man protection (13x) 7-man protection (6x) Top 2-minute concepts: 1. Middle Read 2. Tare 3. Curl-Flat 4. 4 Verticals 5. Whip Options 6. Zone Pass (short curls) 7. Sprint: 7-Flat combo ICON Eagles' RB LeSean McCoy. Eagles Red Zone Concepts are broken down into High Red Zone (25-16 yard line) and Red Zone (15 to goal line) Alerts: Will run the ball to set up passing concepts Alert screen and check down to No.36 WR motions inside of the numbers= point of attack WR motions outside of the numbers=waste motion Empty with No.81 aligned inside of numbers=middle of the field ISO route High Red Zone Concepts: 1.

Sprint Option Critical Plays Backed up. 3rd and short. Four-minute situation. 4th down play. What do the Eagles run when they are protecting a lead or need to move the sticks? *8 total plays we scouted: 6 passes/ 2 runs 2 runs 1. RB Flip 2. 20 Trap 6 passes (all to our left) 1. Spot (2x) 2. Wheel route (No.36) 3. Tare 4. Outs 5. Sprint option *2-point play: No.81 aligns in backfield/ run sprint option *Our lead call in a critical play situation? Cover 2 out of a 4-3 Over front Eagles goal line Top personnel: Jumbo/ Tank Top runs: ( 4 of 6 runs to our right) 1. Stretch 2. Lead Weak 3. Lead Strong 4. Power Bob O (back on backer) Top Passes: 1. Boot 2. Sprint Option 3. Pop Pass (Y quick release) 4. 7-Falt “Gotta Have it” play Every offense has a play/ concept they will run with the game on the line. Vs. Philly we broke down two of them. Eagles "Gotta Have it" Plays 1. Hi-Lo crossers 2. Dagger That’s a wrap. Word for word from my notes during our game prep for Andy Reid’s Eagles. Looking at the concepts, we will see the same routes, runs and red zone passing tree this Sunday when the Eagles host the Falcons that we did back in 2005. The west coast offense has added some new concepts over time, but when you break it down by down and distance, formations and situational football—it really hasn’t changed. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...game-plan.html Bowen's spelling needs to improve but this article was probably written at 2AM |

Read this, then go look up the scores to the 2005 Eagles/Redskins games and then try not to think of this primer as being 8 years old and spread all over the league.

I'm more worried about him being able to hit Bowe deep, who will be playing the T.O. role for us. If he can it's gonna be nasty. I'll hold out hope till I see it. |

Thanks. There seems to be this misperception that because Reid doesn't run the ball, he's Mike Martz. It's not the same thing. Martz was just too arrogant to run the ball. Andy Reid's offense is more similar to the New England offense in the early 2000s with Antowain Smith and Kevin Faulk. Nobody would have accused those guys of not valuing their RBs.

I am not as down on Alex Smith as some.
I believe in Reid's offense that he can continue to be an efficient, effctive game manager, as he was in SF, even if he's asked to pass 30-35 times a game, and that Charles and Bowe (and Cyrus Gray, who I still believe was a great pick last year) will be big time YAC players with the accuracy that Smith has in the short zones and the intermediate middle. My problem is that I just don't believe that game plan can be successful against the better defenses in this league, and those defenses can take that away from Smith and the Chiefs, forcing Smith to beat them by taking the top off, which he hasn't shown he is capable of doing.

If they figure out how to make the spread option and pistol work, and Smith or Daniel could very possibly do that, that makes the offense a lot less one-dimensional. And even the best defenses of today haven't yet figured out the solution here. |
