By the way, here is a link to the way, way, way, WAY too early Mock Draft that we just did over on the Bootleg channel that you can watch after you're done with this one! -- ruclips.net/video/1hpHKk4xWAQ/видео.html
Thank god you let the Eagles win out by posting this because I get to laugh at the Cowboys
So I have a question @brettkollmann is this a OC problem HC problem or a QB problem because we didn't run this kind of offense last year? So I guess I am trying to ask are they running it this way because of our HC is now calling the offense or do we need new OC or maybe Jalen said this is the offense he wants to run? Please give me a answer
thanks for the video! Even before the 3 losses I was mad about the offensive scheme, because it felt like other teams work really hard and are creative to bring their players in favourable positions, while the eagles just asked their guys to win 1v1. While other teams run routes that work off each other, our offense seemed too dependant on defenses leaving gaps instead of actively creating holes in zones. Also the run game is so frustrating because everything is out of shotgun, I think we could dominate if we ran more under center with 12 personell. Also, we have no gadget players, I wanted the eagles to draft a receiver with that skillset, but was hoping that swift would do some of that after the trade, but he has been non existent in the pass game. Instead they kill countless drives by running billions of screens for negative yards, asking guys like smith for a key block outside
I think the low number passes over the middle for the 9ers attributes to their low number of pass attempts
@stevenreese4419
It's a combination of Brian Johnson being an inexperienced NFL play caller.
And Nick Sirrriani is doing a lot of things like in 1st year when they barely made the playoffs.
If Brian Johnson gets fired and the offense looks like this next year, Sirriani is probably gone.
Losing Shane Steichen hurt the Eagles more than people expected.
I will never forgive the Colts
I was a bit hesitant on celebrating the Eagles team knowing new staff came in,
It was crazy to me listening to people put them as SB favorite after losing BOTH coordinators. Its hard enough losing 1, but both is something you almost never see overcome. With a new coordinator calling plays theres a natural feeling out process which can lead to extended slumps and when you can't lean on the other side of the ball because they have the same problem it's going to be tough. Then, because they were a great team, the idea of bringing in a new DC/OC, whose best for the job is secondary to keeping the same system by hiring from within. Sometimes, it's a seemless transition, but a lot of times, it's not.
Lucky for the Eagles that even with all their problems they're still 10-4, you'd think they were the Jets/Giants/Panthers with such a critical video. It just goes to show how insanely talented their roster is and how Roseman runs circles around the rest of NFL GMs and as a Giants fan I hate him for it, almost as much as I hate Siriani for his antics.
@@Coolguy98765432q457Your head coach came from the Colts.
@@HamburgerHelperDeathNick been the coach for 3 years, wym?
They just lost 32-9 in the wild card. You were right.
Everyone knew they were going to lose but I honestly didn't expect a score like that
thanks beer mommy
@@satagaming9144 no problem
When we were 10-1 I was of course happy but thought it was glossing over our horrible playcalling. You hit the nail on the head with 'they make their players out-talent the opponents'. Our GM has gotten us to 10 wins because we havnt out schemed anyone.
I dont even then its playcalling. BJ has done a good job working with what he can. Its our literal scheme that is the problem. That comes from nick.
@@kodyeilers6938 I mean Steichen was calling plays from the same playbook from Sirianni last season and he had a much better result. Albeit he had Hurts with healthier legs as well as a runner. Even shows in the video that Steichen is willing to be flexible in adding motion and adding OZ with the Colts to be consistent with his offensive philosophy. Which has been consistent with his time running offenses for 3 different teams. So it is both on Sirianni/Johnson as the staff on offense to be stubborn with their approach of winning by being better than the opposing defense.
@@t4d0W I mostly agree and think Steichen is better than BJ at using Sirianni's crap playbook, but, also, we had a very easy schedule last year and a very difficult one this year. Also, lots of teams were not prepared for how good we'd be last year whereas everyone paid attention to us this year and figured out how to shut down Nick's shit offense.
I wasn't happy. I knew what they were doing was unsustainable.
Exactly it was a very rough 10-1 so many wins were barely scraped out and the signs were there already.
Thanks Brett this is what a lot Eagles fans have been talking about this season. The OC and HC have essentially been making the game harder for the offense.
My question is, is this dumb down offense because the coaches think hurts doesn't know anything or the coaches don't know anything???
@@denbron11coaches. One is a first year OC with no real indication he had a talent for offensive play calling. The other is the HC who is 3 years deep and still coming off a Super Bowl high. Jalen was effecient and poised last year and gotten better.
@denbron11 Honestly, I couldn't tell you. When they open the playbook, they look like a top 3 offense (1st drive of the Seahawks game, for example). At this point, its laziness, the inability to adapt, or just an outright refusal to try and improve. And the main people responsible for this crap are Johnson and Sirriani.
"Players win games. Coaches make sure they don't lose them" - Bill Belichick
I’m not gonna speak for others cause he definitely gets a lot of hate considering it’s not mostly him but this is the exact reason I was never sold on Jalen like eagles fans thought people should be and this season has kinda proved that. He can only elevate this team so much at this point with where he’s at, which is very scary considering his cap hit is gonna kick in hard and they have way too many key pieces to pay within the next couple years. Either the Eagles staff gotta keep cooking in the draft or Jalen needs to take the kinda step he took going into last season, he’s very good but I’m not sold he can win it all unless everything is going right.
“It looks like a real offense even with Gardner Minshew at quarterback” Jesus Christ what did Garner Minshew do to catch that stray😭
I’ve watched Gardner start every game and let’s just say he deserves that stray lol

I didn't realize this video is three weeks old until I was more than halfway into it. The Eagles died tonight & got bounced out of the wildcard round by the Bucs with Baker Mayfield. This video might as well have predicted it. So.... well done.
was in the middle of pulling an all nighter just to refresh youtube and was greeted by a damn near 20 minute video of why my team is bad at 5AM. Never change brett!!
Watching this after the disastrous loss to the Cards really strengthens your points even more . Man the last drive was painfull
seeing the offense in "must-score" situations is fascinating bc for most coaches, it's the time when you unleash all your creativity and guaranteed plays.
the tough Lions loss still showed Campbell & Co showing off their tricks and gameplanning vs. the Cowboys to attempt to win the game (and they did, basically)
we've seen so so little of that with the Eagles. that last drive you mention was unbelievably awful. i sat there thinking... that's the best Sirianni's got for this??
I really believe the loss of both coordinators in Jonathon Gannon for the defense and Shane Steichen as the offensive coordinator has been the foundational piece in the eagles meltdown.
They for sure miss Gannon. Even with how bad their offense is right now, they could still win if their defense wasn't bottom half of the league. If their goal was to run it back and make the Superbowl, they should've gone for Bienemy and tried to keep Rallis from getting poached by Gannon, because these dudes they have aren't cutting it.
Still don’t miss Gannon lol call it coping if you want but I can assure you that almost no Eagles fan actually misses Gannon the Eagles would be winless from the Miami game to now (except for the Washington game) if he was still DC
@@mysteriousj3019absolutely we do not miss gannon. He was awful and didnt adjust. Our defense has just been too hurt to mesh with the new DC, patricia is better for us as well
I miss Gannon when you put him next to Sean Desai but that is absolutely no compliment to Gannon. Definitely miss Steichen though, he's one of the big reasons we made it to the SB last year.
The defense shined last year because we had big leads and the D line pinned their ears back. The offense has been the problem all year. Defense basically had 3 bad games(BUF, SF, DAL) and that’s it
This is the shit that is driving me crazy and people that aren’t eagles fan don’t understand. It’s depressing that Brett made a video about us but it’s nice seeing someone explain and show the problems so clearly. Thank you!
This youtube guy assumes Hurts can handle a more complex offense and the Eagles coaching staff and organization, paid huge amounts of money to spend 8+ hours a day thinking about this stuff, don't share youtube guy's opinion. Gosh, I wonder which party knows Jalen Hurts better?
@@bigdongbob838Relax. Man you seem to have a few personal issues with mobile quarterbacks.
Taking your subjective opinion of calling Jalen Hurts and mobile quarterbacks “dumb”, I have a question for you to ponder.
Do you consider the GM, and the owner and the coaches “dumb” ?
I ask this because the GM drafted him, the owner is paying him, and the coaches have prospered (getting a head coaching job in large part for directing an offense around a mobile quarterback)
I wouldn’t consider it smart to draft, and pay a quarterback to be the face of the organization, and design an offense around a dumb guy?
You need to reevaluate the way you think man. Such a hater. Probably never played a down of football outside of youth football.
I wonder do you feel this way about all “mobile” quarterbacks? Or are the quotations coded for “black quarterback”
Do you have the same criticism of Josh Allen, Justin Herbert?
Mobile quarterbacks of the past? Who weren’t “mobile” because it wasn’t used as a code word back then?
If you weren’t so concerned with narratives and actually listened and watched the video for clarity then maybe you’d understand what Kollerman was referring to when he spoke of the offensive system being stale and vanilla, and how difficult it makes for offensive efficiency when you constantly run from shotgun.
Either have to run from the pistol or from under center. Pure pocket passers actually have more time to process the defense and the receivers have more time to run their routes.
If you’ve ever played football you would understand that being under center gives the QB more time in the passing game. Due to play action,m. It creates rhythm and open lanes to throw.
In shotgun the defense doesn’t honor the play action especially when the run game isn’t working.
anyway I don’t have time to educate a hating troll.
You don’t want to listen to this RUclips guy but want to run wild with an unsubstantiated argument that mobile quarterbacks are dumb.
While at the same time implying the Eagles management and ownership are dumber for investing in a dummy.
You’re the biggest dummy of them all.
Hating clown 🤡
I’m not even an Eagles fan. Not a Jalen Hurts fan.
Go wrap some Christmas presents and stay off the internet for a while
I very much enjoy this former NFL network data and film analyst's insights.....big fan of his work.
@@bigdongbob838 He can run complex offenses. We've seen him do it. I wonder if there's such a thing as incompetent coaching with star power. There's maybe even another team in PA that has the same problem, who knows!
@@bigdongbob838 I have a different take on Brett's intent... I assumed the same as what you're saying - especially how much they avoid him being under center - but I felt Brett is just stating the actual design/calls and not placing the blame on Jalen-vs-Coaching, more felt that he's just pointing out what is going on. I don't recall him putting it on either - right?
I can't remember how many weeks back it was that i watched an eagles game and i walked away thinking "wtf is that!?". The offensive system is TERRIBLE
the eagles prefer efficiency compare to explosiveness
@@jmgonzales7701and whatever it is its not working
Yeah that time when Hurts ran a complex offense and succeeded mightily shows us that the Eagles organization has totally dragged him down! WTF? College football hasn't totally dumbed-down football and elevated the dumbed-down "mobile QB" to the detriment of the game, or anything.
Seems to me, the coach who insists on pushing his personal strategic philosophy on his team will always be less successful than the coach who seeks out the strategy that gets the most out of the team. A good coach is a teacher, cultivating the abilities of the players, not a general, who expects players to conform.
Yeah I think it's about establishing a good scheme for your roster and then adding to that scheme as you add players and complexity
that's exactly right, and EXACTLY why Staley failed with the Chargers
Also speaks about an offensive minded coach who desires to juice what he can out of his talents. The Shanahan offense guys this season have showed that in varying degrees this season. Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan are the consistent guys at the top for their respective teams offenses. Sean McVay is getting top 10 offense piloted by obvious stars along with new talents coming into their own. Bobby Slowik of course has CJ Stroud playing like an all-pro with a functional receiver group and an O-line that was ravaged early this season with a running game that was inconsistent.
Creating a dumbed-down offense for a dumb QB seems like the essence of coaching to the level of your talent to me, but hey, what do I know?
lol but there's more than one axis than just smart-dumb@@bigdongbob838

As an eagles fan, after watching Brian Johnson consistently call the wrong plays so far this season, I can confidently say that quite literally ANYBODY would be better than Brian Johnson. if Howie Roseman dug up my dead grandmother's rotting skeleton, sat it upright in a chair on the sideline, and put a pair of dice in her bony hands and shook them; whatever number that came up correlating with a numbered play on the play sheet would probably be a better option than whatever tf BJ is doing. I wish we didn't let Shane Steichen go, and I wish we would sign Frank Reich already.
Given the messy quagmire that the Panthers' offense was this year, even after FR took back playcalling duties, I don't know if Reich is the savior that Eagles' fans assume he'd be. Probably more like the Shaq Leonard signing: better than not having him on board, but just a shadow of what he was in his prime. Coaches can regress over time as much as players can - get stuck in their ways, unable to adapt, etc.
Matt Canada is available... 😆
@@chizorama I'd rather volunteer myself to be OC than let Canada be the Eagles OC
I can’t tell if it’s BJ or Sirianni
Man, I really appreciate this channel and your analysis. I feel like there are so few people in football who talk about this game that understand it and can explain it this effectively. I get so tired of fans and talk show hosts who do nothing but talk about quarterbacks being the source of all ills and successes by every team, it is SO nice to watch someone who can break down film and show you what's really happening on the field.
I appreciate the kind words!
Jalen Hurts hasn't been good the past few weeks though. Saying he's played fine is taking responsibility away from him.
@@antonioiniguez1615it's not all him though.
Jalen hurts decision-making has been terrible
@@antonioiniguez1615whoosh video went right over your head.
I'm awake at 5:30 AM because of a terrible combination of seasonal depression and insomnia, but hey, that just means I get to be amongst the first to enjoy this breakdown!
EDIT: I gotta say as someone who watched Brady use motion to help him decipher defenses for years I have no idea why more offenses don't try to utilize it more often. Obviously it's not a "Win play" button, but it does give your QB more information to work with pre-snap while helping to manipulate coverages and those are valuable things to have.
If you are an Eagles fan it might make your mental health even worse, just a warning.
If you're gonna be up anyway, it's a good chance to watch the sunrise. Always helps me mentally when I fail to sleep.
ha same was gonna sleep but had to watch this first
@@BrettKollmann I'm a Pats fan that foolishly thought the offense would be semi-competent and you also took Gonzo from me. I'm numb to everything atm.
@@zgamer200 I don't know how long Pats fans have to wait before they can start getting sympathy, but it's longer than this.
The lack of pre-snap motion and plays from under center have been driving me MAD this season! Also... Where is the hard-count during home games?! It is such an effective element in football. Oh yeah... Hard-counts are best utilized under center... Something the Eagles are incapable of doing!
AS ALWAYS... GREAT VIDEO BRETT!
It's almost as if shotgun gives cognitively-slower QBs more time to process the game. No idea why they'd use this technique with Jalen, tho...
@bigdongbob838 Overusing or straight-up abusing shotgun personnel has been a fad in the NFL that has LONG overstayed its welcome.
@@bigdongbob838dude please stop outing yourself as a fool in public is embarrassing
@@jamesmorseman3180 I don't understand - what part of my post did you find objectionable?
@@bigdongbob838 because you're suggesting Jalen Hurts is not a smart person let alone QB. And your point about staying in shotgun to help with reads in the first place is just not true. Can it help? sure, but that is so far down the list of reasons why they run shotgun that it shouldn't even me mentioned.
The eagles not running from under center has been a revolving issue since like 2018. They won the Super Bowl because of it then just disregarded it ever since.
Yeah they really ignore how Blount and Ajayi ripped off massive gains from 11/12 personnel
If there is one thing ive learned about Brett, he absolutely deapises offenses that dont use motion properly.
The "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" intro was just pure brilliance, love it :D.
This next level stuff! Wow! How’d he think of that?!
Extremely pained eagles fan here. This is so spot on! And in Philly we are way more upset with Brian Johnson and Nick than we are with Jalen. Something needs to change because my god we aren't setting anyone up for success.
That can turn quickly though, especially if Hurts keeps forcing the ball into coverage and missing guys running wide open (DeVonta) in favor of just another heave to AJ downfield. Both his in-game decision making and running have regressed significantly this year, I think the latter b/c of the ongoing knee issue that may be affecting the rest of his game.
Its def not changing by the playoffs. I think the athletes are playing as well as they can. They are hampered by their tactician on the sidelines who don't know how to apply some flexibility to make more out of their talents.
YES! Jalen Hurts, with his Wonderlic score of 21, is soooooo capable of running a complex offense! Yes YES YEEESSS!
@@bigdongbob838 the wonderlic is pretty goddamn meaningless unless you're about to try and argue Carson Wentz makes better decisions than Lamar Jackson.
Dan Marino scored a 16, btw. Think that guy could run a good offense?
@@fanboy50 Wonderlic is only meaningless to the innumerate; no one has ever claimed it's the only important metric. Same as IQ; it's better to have a high IQ than a low IQ, but nothing in that statement implies that it's the only important metric. Have a good one!
As an Eagles fan, this episode hurt. And with Brian Johnson basically coming out and saying, "We need more explosive plays!" which is the opposite of the solution to this problem, it looks like things are gonna continue to stay bad.
Well he's not exactly wrong right? In this video he says the Eagles run game doesn't generate explosive plays because they refuse to play the outside or motion to create space. Explosive plays in the run game open up the defense and allow someone not named Brown or Smith to get more then 10 yards a play.
Aged like fine wine with how their season ended
We knew since week 4
Eagles fans have been known for a long time, I said that the way the Eagles are winning games isn't sustainable, and it could catch up to them, and people kept saying "did we win"? It was so annoying, I told em.
Aged like fine wine.
As an eagles fan, watching this video speaking on something I’ve said all year about what’s wrong with the team pisses me off. The personnel on the offensive side is too good to be playing as is, the OC and company will continue to hold back this offense if something isn’t said or done sooner than later, great video hit everything right on the money!!
As an eagles fan I really wish we hired Shane Steichen as our head coach. Dude calls a damn good offense and is a great leader. I would have preferred him over Nick easily.
how do you feel about sirianni? when he got hired i thought he was such an idiot and would be gone real fast obviously he proved himself but im curious how an eagles fan feels. this comment reminds me, a celtics fan, of wishing for ime udoka while putting up with joe mazulla
I applaud Brett for being an American who is very, and consciously, considerate of his European fanbase. Top marks for purposefully delaying the posting of the video to a time that suits us, thank you!

@@joaorobalo7594 It's an inside joke within the community that Brett uploads literally last minute for us American viewers (based off his schedule he made for himself) so I think this comment is just referencing how instead of it being last minute, it's a perfect time for them.
This reminded me a whole lot of the buffalo Bills episode with the shotgun formation and refusing to call effective runplays, before our saviour joe Brady was put in charge…
Would be very interested in an episode updating us how the Bills offense has changed and turned things around under joe Brady
Keep up the good work Brett !
The number one thing that’s hurting our offense is the lack of commitment to the run game. Swift will have two or three big runs during the script 15 then they just immediately go away from it. Our success on offense has been tied to the run game. Yet for some reason they won’t stick with it. Idk who needs to get the blame Brian Johnson or Sirianni but this shit ain’t working.
I am an Eagles fan and I have been saying the same things Brett has been since week 2 or 3 of the season. I even tweeted Brian Johnson about the same issue(even tho i never expected a response). Tbh the Eagles mostly ran only inside zone last year but Steichen always had ways of keeping the defense off the inside zone with rpo's and other plays that forced the defense to play the whole field and every week he had a few plays or a small scheme especially for that game to frustrate the other teams defense. Also it seems like Johnson(or Sirianni whoevers offense it is) don't seem to understand how play action works on a very advanced level. Tbh the under center thing really pisses me off even tho I have studied the most versions of the spread and the air raid offense and tbh maybe i wud be less irritated if it seemed like they understood the spread running game better but constantly being in the shotgun with 11 or 12 personnel and no motion is making it so easy for the other teams defense. The eagles hardly use single back looks and never run the i formation and they don't use bunch or condensed looks either. Has anyone not noticed how the Chiefs are using more under center now than ever in the Mahomes era and they started using it more last year and when Tyreek was there they might stay in shotgun trips 80% of a game. Im just irritated that as an Eagles fan I have watched Jalen talk after every game this season about how the team has issues and then after last week they tried to say he hasnt said anything about the teams issues until his "commitment comments" and i think he meant the coaches because they havent been committed to putting anyone on the offense in a position to win and just expect them to win with talent alone. Tbh last week I wasnt able to tell if the defense really did any better under Patricia but it like the forgot how to run cover 4 when they ran it all the time last year and it was great until the Chiefs ran the ball down their throat in the second half of the super bowl. Tbh I like Sirianni as the head coach mostly cuz all my issues with him have been about the gameplans and playcalling and I understand there wernt a lot of good coordinators after Fangio went to the Doplhins but with the talent the Eagles have on offense they cud have hired any proven OC in the league and been fine as long as it was someone who actually understood NFL schemes.
Paragraphs are your friend
You have to format this or something. It's just a big mess
Sirianni is the problem. This is his offense as he so proudly said in press conference.
@@drewparker4931 it couldn't happen to a better guy. Hate to see it
This is either the best rope a dope in the history of football or the most arrogant, "we know how talented we are so it is simple by design and we dont think you can stop us" garbage I have ever seen.
Watching this video, I'm getting flashbacks to when I was in high school... The Eagles offense just reminds me of concept, the coaches wanted to run back then... In 2010-2014...
That eagles offense reminds me of how the cardinals were under Kliff kingsbury. No undercenter concepts, run game is all out of shotgun, and no pre snap motions. It was basically “go be Superman Kyler” and yea it worked for a while but after adjusting for it Kingsbury wouldn’t adjust his offense. Also what a lot of Eagle fans don’t want to admit is losing both coordinator hurt them more than what they would’ve thought.
Kyler Murray's Wonderlic Score: 20 Jalen Hurts' Wonderlic Score: 21. Correlation with low-to-mediocre Wonderlic scores and simple offenses? UNTHINKABLE!
I think all Eagles fans admit losing both coordinators (plus a LB and secondary coach) had hurt. It wasn't so bad when they were 10-1, but the cracks were there and we saw them. Now, they've been exposed on both sides of the ball as one coordinator has already lost his job and the fans are begging for the other to go, too.
@@bigdongbob838 Performance on a written vocabulary test doesn't correlate with 3D spatial pattern recognition and processing ability, so you'd have to be trying real hard to forgive bad coaching TO THINK THAT!
More importantly, sending receivers in motion, mixing up snaps (more under center, not always in shotgun), and varying where receivers line up (Kingsbury's was the only NFL offense to not do this), makes it EASIER on the QB, not more difficult - maybe try watching this video again since it didn't sink in.
@@JMacSD Yes, it does actually. There's high correlation between verbal IQ and spatial IQ. Same goes for pattern recognition (Raven's matrices are literally all pattern recognition and there's a high correlation between scores on that test and verbal-oriented IQ tests and wordsum scores). Maybe some remedial reading on psychometrics for u?
@@JMacSD The video's garbage, why would I want to absorb any of it?
5am squad 🫡

ahh
It’s actually 2AM 🤓
Interested in a deeper dive on Indianapolis and what they’re able to do with Steichen & Minshew at QB
Steichen is the reason philly Offense was so dynamic last season
What's really interesting about this is Frank Reich had the same predictably issue that Nick Serianni is having now. I'm hoping Shane Steichen won't be the same way in a year or two from now.
All of these types of schemes get locked up when we get close to the playoffs, every year...
Steichen was the chargers OC for Herbert’s historic rookie season, wish we kept him
As a Colts fan, I can say based off this season Shane is a straight up mastermind and he covered up alot of flaws for the Eagles last year
It's not really flawed. It's Sirriani's vanilla game plans he was covering up for. Nick is getting exposed.
As an Eagles fan stop taking our dam coaches 🤦🏾♂️
@BlizzyF if it makes you feel better no one’s going to take the coordinators you have now
Yeah and the cupcake schedule didn't hurt either
@@dylangrantz8124 They're one of the few teams that beat the ravens this year. Sure there were some bad calls at the end but the fact that the ravens let it get that close is bas enough
Honestly their offense has seemed so anemic recently, that ive been wondering if this was some attempt by the Eagles to hide a completely different more diverse offensive scheme until the playoffs.
So that they could prevent teams from being able to scheme against it ahead of time. While i would be shocked if that was actually the case, it would certainly be some 5D chess.
If that’s the case and they win the Super Bowl that way, I think everyone would be pissed.
I am hoping the same, like when they struggled against the Giants backups to get the 1 seed last year...and then eviscerated them in the playoffs. The game looked so different offensively. That being said, I think it's wishful thinking, but we can dream 😂
My conspiracy is that there are people push to ban their qb sneak because it is dominant so they decided to lose games.
@@andreitaker3527 nah, the Eagles just have scheme issues. Jalen also has been a one read QB.
I wondered that for awhile as well, and if that’s also why we weren’t using Penny, but Lawd have mercy we are terrible and the fact that we blew the #1 seed seems to have blown this theory out of the water.
Their defense also isn’t helping them, they really only have a front. They have 1 good linebacker and their secondary is old old and not playing the best and they play man D not zone.
That is what they had last year really one great player behind the line and everyone else OK.
Talent wise it is still very good and can keep up with possible playoff matchups. The problem is exacerbated when the offense can't solve the defenses to put up points in the playoffs.
The secondary losing a step could be a significant issue, yeah; if you're playing a lot of man, if your DBs start consistently losing a step, it snowballs quickly. That's part of why I think Baltimore moved on from Wink, for instance, because the man did not understand the concept of zone coverage/not using pure man coverage and bringing the house, and it started really biting us in the ass once Peters began falling off and Marlo was hurt. Philly might be seeing the same thing happening.
Texans being used as a comparison on offense. Never thought I’d see the day lol. Brilliant video as always
Europeans unite! Excellent video as always Brett, thanks for making my morning coffee even better 👍🏻
Watching this again after the loss to the Bucs. Pretty ridiculous to see the lack of adjustments and creativity. Especially in a very winnable wild card game.
This was eye-opening as an Eagles fan
I watch Brett Kollmann videos for the fantastic insight, but gotta say the video production has become so good. The pacing of everything, the cuts between him talking and the film, the music, the festive background. Just such high quality on every front.
Thanks as always for a great video.
As an Eagles fan, thank you for confirming that I'm not taking crazy pills!
Take some vitamin D3. It will help.
Glad you released this. 10-1 was nice... but we could see the cracks in the foundation. Losing OC, DC, LB and Secondary coach in one offseason has been a really horrible transition. These coaches are destroying this talented team.
This reminds me of the panthers offense while Reich was still there. Very little pre-snap motion, mostly shotgun formation, only inside zone runs. And the hilarious part is that I see Eagles fans clamoring for Reich to replace Brian Johnson as the OC. The difference between Brian Johnson's offence and Reich's offense would be fewer QB draws and...nope, that's about it
Great ep, Brett, as allways.
I have two questions regarding this:
1.) You well described the drawbacks of the shotgun heavy offense. But what about the benefits? In particular I think those should be the RPOs. Weren't Eagles super-good at them last year? What happened to that?!
2.) What is the advantage of not running the motion again? I still don't get it. Every year the analysts on TV just mumble something about the reads for QB being clearer, but that sounds like a poor excuse. Is it harder to coach? More susceptible to errors by the players? Why is there not a motion on EVERY single play?
I guess what I am trying to say in those questions is. Thank you, Brett for exlaining what the Eagles are not even trying to do, although it would be a good idea. But what is it that the Eagles ARE trying to do and why the F*** is it not working?
Hurts has worn a knee brace or wrap most of the season - speculation is that he has a long running low-grade injury that he can still play on, but that's affecting his ability to run and decisions on when to run & whether to try to plow through or go down at the end. Having seen every game this year, he just does not look as dynamic or fast when he does take off. Some of that may be muddled play design, but I think a good amount of it is just physical limitations compared to last year.
"2.) What is the advantage of not running the motion again? I still don't get it. Every year the analysts on TV just mumble something about the reads for QB being clearer, but that sounds like a poor excuse. Is it harder to coach? More susceptible to errors by the players? Why is there not a motion on EVERY single play?" OMG easier reads? For a QB with a Wonderlic score of 21? Heaven forbid.
Well I’m here after the wild card round. We changed nothing. Not one thing
This aged well.
If the Eagles run a high school offense, then just what in the hell was Pittsburgh trying to run for the last 3 seasons?!
Middle school
bro such a great video, all season I’ve been frustrated and this really helped me recognize the problems and what to look for in the playoffs playcalling wise
Great video. Its pretty consistent with what many see as the weakness of the Eagles offense and their inability to adapt when their initial gameplan isn't working. Which is worse when you consider Howie drafted/paid for great talent on the Eagles offense to do other things. The numbers at 4:13 are interesting too since those teams at the top have a more dedicated run game not involving a mobile QB.
Shane Steichen made Hurts and Justin Herbert much better. When Shane was with Herbert he was a rookie with no offensive linemen and less help yet played better. Shane also made Joshua Dobbs look good enough to be traded. Steichen needs more respect.
This aged well
Thanks for the analysis, I've seen others point out the over use of inside zone and the continual pressure put on Hurts to make plays but this really helps illustrate the full picture. I couldn't understand why this continued each game. The OC needs to go after this season. It literally feels like he uses the talent on the team to justify lazy play calls.
Please let the Kollmann curse work its magic and turn this downslide around.
Also I've been saying the problem with this team is very clearly the coaching and not the players. Boring offense, boring defense, overreliance on high-end talent (what team from a few years ago does this remind you of?). So thrilled Brett made a video confirming my beliefs. Maybe I have actually learned some things over the years (from watching channels like yours). Hope you have a great holiday Brett!
@@shortstak6new to football, unironically what team was that
@@jimiyu. the eagles my guy, the team that is the subject of this video. Despite having a record of 10-4 things don't look good
@@jimiyu. oh I'm dumb, I see what you mean now. I misread your comment. This Eagles team looks a lot like the Steelers from a few years ago. Squeaked by with inept coaching by their high end talent at skill positions
@@shortstak6 all good lol thanks
As a broncos fan everyone was saying this about us last year and it was true 😭 hackett was one of the worst head coaches in NFL history.
And look how terrible the jets are offensively while he's the offensive coordinator there. He's nothing without rodgers.
A Brett video to start Saturday Football?! We blessed
Great breakdown as always. Seems painfully obvious when someone with knowledge points out these flaws and makes you wonder why coaches don’t address it sooner
I know basically nothing about football except watching a game, yet you communicated everything so clearly I even feel like I understand what you’re saying and how this game is played! Well done. And though I don’t follow football, I subscribed just because of this video!
Brett is like the Fantano of football content. He says stuff that a lot of people don’t want to hear, but it’s stuff that needs to be heard
This whole video can be summed up in one sentence:
The Eagles miss Shane Steichen.
Two and the cupcake schedule
@@dylangrantz8124they had the toughest schedule in the league and they’re 11-4? What are you saying 🤣
@@jamesmorseman3180 the cupcake schedule let them build momentum opposed to squeak a win every week. A cupcake every week builds confidence
These videos have really been here for me even at my lowest. Thank you Brett🙏
Fantastic breakdown!!! Thank you
Who's here after the Eagles got blown out by the Bucs? lmao
Here to find out why AJ Brown has been letting me down in fantasy lately
Mostly because they’re saying F it AJ Brown is down there somewhere, YEET.
i’m finally ready to watch this brettt
Brett your breakdowns are great, and as an eagles fan, Its wild to me that we have a 1000 yard rusher, 2 1000 yard receivers and Hurts might throw for 4000 yards this year, all with bad scheming, it shows truly how talented the team is and how our both our head coach and oc aren't playing to the strengths of the team, and it still somewhat works.
I FUCKING KNOW😭😭 god damn this has been horrible since the beginning of the season i have seen about 3 creative plays and my goodness im both upset and happy you’re finally making this video😂 GREAT WORK! Fire Brian Johnson
Let’s see what the Kollmann Curse does with this one. 😅
ive been waiting for this. suffering through sundays hasnt been enough i needed a breakdown as to why my favorite team wasnt good
incredible detail and description. well done
Week later, not any better
You know your a football nut watching Brett at 5am for knowledge lmao
Better than 5am in the evening
@@fornhunkle lmao it's early cut me some slack
This is so funny to me because I said we had no offensive creativity and the defense looked stale and static after week 4 and I was annihilated by Eagles fans because “we’re 4-0” now literally everyone is saying it. Great video man loved it
I'm up too late because I'm playing Football Manager, but I still love Football-football, so I'm happy to have caught this upload before I go to bed.
Brett, continuing to champion the insomniac crowd ❤
I didn’t sleep a wink and still missed the drop. Damn bell.
Get your bets in guys, Eagles are +900 right now to win the Super Bowl. Their actual odds are now -500 thanks to the Kollmann curse!
Excellent video, @Brett! Just discovered your channel and shared with all my fellow Birds fan friends. Thank you! More!
They out there running "Ask Madden" on every play 😂
I feel for Jalen. At the end of the game when he only needed about 14 yards to tie the game, he felt like the only thing he could do was chuck the ball up, despite the good coverage and the obvious check down wide open. This offense has broken him more than his leg did
He's incapable of winning games with his arm. Almost like he's been found out.
@@liam4603he’s won several games with his arm ? Play calling has made the offense one dimensional and predictable so opposing defenses make it hard for hurts
@@liam4603 he sucks with a stacked roster... wait till these younger guys come up to get paid 😂.....
@liam4603 Bad take. The last three games he has been ass, but you do know up until then he has the best completion percentage from the pocket, right? He literally has won most of thier close games by himself this year, notably the Commanders and Bills game winning drives. Don't be a prisoner of the moment.
@@liam4603 The meme of Hurts having a weak arm refuses to die...but, somebody was throwing to AJ Brown when he broke the NFL record of most consecutive 125+ yard games receiving, and pretty sure it wasn't Mariota. There's a lot of things wrong with the Eagles this season, but JH's arm strength isn't one of them. "Arm" and "accuracy" are different things, if that's what you were trying to say...
The Eagles have the offensive line talent to just plow the D-line off the ball in their IZR. If they get a lead, you're fucked.
Not with the way that defense and corners in particular have been playing.
They also have a HOF center that dominated teams with OZR last year.
@@justinmj6586 exactly, the defense as scheme issues and talent issues, so a team will never be out of it.
To address point 3, for what it's worth, I think someone pointed out that the downside with motion is when the defense shifts to account for it, it screws with the rules of blocking and confuses the assignments on who blocks what. It's quite possible the Eagles don't have anything built into their scheme where, if a defense does a late shift before the snap, they will re-align their blocking assignments. Which, if that's the case, I wonder if that's an OC problem or a Jeff Stoutland problem (or a Kelce problem)...
I'm not as knowledgable on football as the experts here on RUclips, so I'm not sure how true that answer is, but I do know that that's why Coach Sirianni said that "the informtation most teams get pre-snap via motion, such as what type of defense they're running, we can learn through other ways, such as our alignment and how they line up to it" (this is a paraphrase of his answer in a press conference a few weeks ago as to why the team never uses pre-snap motion). I have no idea whether that's a legit answer or that's coach speak, though. :/
EDIT: Also, this whole "we only line up under center to run" is giving me 2010's Sewhawks vibes. Hoping Jalen doesn't turn into Russ. 😭
This is why the head coach should be the X and O offensive play caller.
the eagles rather have efficiency rather than explosiveness
@@jmgonzales7701 Well their efficiency is ass anyway
Sean Mcdermott let this offense put 30 up on his defense in a half, then held Dallas to 3 points through 57 minutes.
Great video. It would be good to know if these trends are a deviation from what they did last year (when they made the SB) or if it's something different and explains the relative inefficiency this season. Either way, not working very well this year!
This is on point. I think the combination of hurts not being as dynamic of a runner with injuries and defenses figuring them out over the last year all came to a crescendo the last 3 games.
as a Giants fan(and more of a Rutgers fan anyhow), I have mostly resigned myself this season to just rooting for the NFL underdog and rooting for the Eagles to lose because watching their fans become enraged makes me feel very good. Very good indeed, call me crazy.
About the lack of motion:
Even when we do use motion, it's usually just decoy
Love the always sunny nod in the intro 😂
thank you so much for this video Brett. This also gives me a perspective that the Kansas City Chiefs has an eerily similar problem. They rely too much on shotgun.
Pretty cool you partnered with Homage! I've been buying their apparel for 10 years now
Great analysis bro. I’m an Eagle fan and I’m so aggravated that I see the same formations every play
Right as I’m about to go to sleep as I should’ve done 3 hours ago lol
The Athletic article about the Eagles offense was better.
The percentage of plays under shotgun and pre-snap motion is similar to when Steichen called the offense. But Hurts is less explosive in the run game this year, so the RPO concepts aren't working, along with a few other issues.
i’m an eagles fan, the owners son is the head of the analytics department, makes a lot of damn sense why he still has his job. any other person not benefiting from unfettered nepotism would’ve lost their job after one season
As a bengals fan I was shocked to find out there is a team that spent less time under center this year
DUDE!
You *just* explained Inside vs. Outside zone to me, conceptually, *beautifully*. And yes, I've seen your and others' videos on it, and I think you've said it before, but:
Inside: Runs downhill, likely to cut inside.
Outside: Runs to the sideline, still probably doing an inside cut but not in like the A gap.
So the *initial vector* and the *expected cut* are completely different, even if the actual run does go similarly.
Hey brother. GREAT job. You reminded me when the Eagles won the SB in 2017, Reich had them running everything, IZ, OZ, Gap, Power, they did it all, and they did it all very well. Their O-line this year is good enough that they could still do it all, and do it all very well. But like you pointed out, they are static and if you can criticize Howie Roseman and Lurie for anything, it's blowing a year of their SB window on cheap young inexperienced rookie coaches.
Brian Johnson's offense is an insult to elite high school offenses. I played college ball with a guy from Pulaski Academy, the OG analytics driven HS that never punted, their Coach Kevin Kelley is light years ahead of the Eagles.
