Sorry not sorry he's not Jim Johnson coaching those early 00's Eagles defenses.

Thing is, if you liked that Watson INT, then you have to accept the Karlaftis coverage mismatch.
Because both happened due to a blitz scheme.
Spags is a gambler, but I argue that he doesn't have a lot of choice, he has to because we're so inconsistent with rushing 4.
Sometimes the blitz works, and Sneed or Reid or someone gets a sack, or Watson gets the INT on the ball thrown earlier than the QB wanted. Sometimes the offense has just the right play called and you get Karlaftis trying to cover Kirk.
It's the risk.
But I'll say again: 5 rookies in your top 12 defenders.
Spags has done an incredible job this season.
