Wylie ran a sub 4.4 at the combine.

Andy Reid has always got great receiving production out of his tight ends, but unlike Erhardt Perkins doesn't rely nearly as much on the 2 TE sets. Bye bye Jake.

I have a ton of stuff saved on Andy Reid and the Eagles - However, there was no need to save links:



2010: A look at Eagles’ head coach Andy Reid. The west coast system schemes, concepts, tendencies, etc.

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…

Philadelphia at Washington
Breakdowns and tendencies are complied from the opponent’s four previous games…

Reid’s personnel groupings:

Jumbo: 3 TE, 2 RB

Key personnel in breakdown:
WR (focus of the passing game)
RB

Receiver terminology

“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

Game prep for Andy Reid’s Eagles. Looking at the concepts, we will see the same routes, runs and red zone passing tree. 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.

Dylan, you rock

he's also short. He's going to be a slot receiver. A lot of short receivers are a little bit awkward taking deeper passes. Dante Hall and Jamaal Charles (when lined up as a receiver) and McCluster are three great examples. Wylie's value, like those three guys, is his explosiveness and acceleration.

Maclin is a fast guy and a big target. And he's a pure Y receiver vs. being in the slot. Reid needs one of those guys and Breaston aien't it.

PGM:

LOL...

I like to study schemes - especially on our opponents

T Owens is available

JFC.

How is that you dipshits still think that McCluster is anything more than a scrub?

Orton didn't make him look any better than he is, he just had more space to run open before defenders tackled him.

He still didn't do shit when he got the ball, and he still didn't make anyone miss.

He's ****ing garbage.

And you are talking ****ing garbage.

Wylie has more upside than McCluster because he seems like a much more natural receiver, whereas McCluster is klutzy. And still can't hold onto the ball.

I am talking about the fact that he's a guy you want to dump the ball underneath to and then let him get YAC in space. Maybe you don't like McCluster's potential. But you can't deny that in a Cassel led offense, particularly in 2012 where defenses were playing 15 yards in, that there isn't any space in the short field for guys like McCluster and Wylie to do damage in.

Doesn't ****ing matter you useless dumbshit.

McCluster still did shit when he had Orton and defenses respecting his ability to stretch the field.

He's ****ing garbage, you dipshit.

supposedly Reid loves McCluster and was set to draft him the pick after the Chiefs did years back. Im curious how he uses him in his offense

Since this is a Pete thread... I want to spend this moment to complain about the refs.

You're overreacting. I'm not saying he's going to have a 1,000 yard season. I'm merely pointing out that Wylie and McCluster are 2 receivers who we won't know what they're fully capable of until we see an offense that can truly spread the field and stretch it. Boss suggested that Wylie is a vertical receiver, and I'm saying he's more a guy you want to get the ball in space. Same with McCluster.

And saying he played like shit in his last 2 games is a bit much. McCluster showed flashes of what happens when an underneath option is available. Yeah, his yardages were inflated by a few big plays, but he's flashed plenty of times that if you give him space, he can be effective. Not nearly enough games where he was allowed that space to judge what he can do.

I can judge.

He's touted as palymaker that can make people miss.

In three years, regardless of circumstance, he's made 2, maybe 3 tacklers miss.

He's ****ing garbage.

Get him is space, he's going to get you as much yardage as the open space allows.

Once the first tackler appears, there will be about a 99.9% chance the first tackler makes the tackle.

You forgot the expletives.

"I HATE THESE GODDAMN MOTHER****ING REFEREES!"
