- The leaders should attack the safety of the eagles in two high shells: Patrick Mohames boasts the seventh highest PFF level, which is against covering 4 and the third largest PFF, taking place against Cover 6 this season.
- The restriction of leaders on the third down is the key to the eagles: Kansas -City is one of the best NFL teams in moving chains in third place, but the coverage of the Philadelphia zone may be the key to dusting the crime of leaders.

Kansas -City Chefs
Attack security in two high coatings
In the attack of leaders this season, there were not many patterns of field, as in the past, which led to career minimums in the average depth of the target and a large percentage of shots for the defender Patrick MahomeThis plays right in his hands Eagles“The defense that invites the defenders to throw the ball under it before often make tackle for short benefits. They do this, playing many two high coatings, including coating 4 and coating 6.
The lid of the 4-two maximum coverage, which usually combines the principles of a person and zones, and deep protection, usually closer to the line of the fight. The cover 6 is also two high coating, but it breaks down the protection in half, with one half game in the cover 4 and the other games. The fourth of the highest percentage of the coating 4 and the highest percentage of coating 6 in NFL this season.
Magomes boasts the seventh largest PFF PFF passage, against cover 4 and the third largest PFF assessment against Cover 6 this season, and he will need to attack Philadelphia. Rid Blankenschip And CJ Gardner-JohnsonWhich were designed only 10 times on throws 20 yards down.
The teams did not want to check the back of the eagles, instead of the content, to take the lower throws. The security attack and their behavior in the conflict can not only lead to some big plays, but can also open intermediate throws, because now they are protected to get a deep blow. This is much easier to say than to do, but in the NFL a little better than Andy raid when it comes to designing games to attack certain coatings.
I love how the leaders installed these deep pictures, isolation of the side of one receiver, stretching the linear player and moving the pocket, and then forcing security safety or incorrectly. pic.twitter.com/0pfhqvftwx

Find creative ways to expose the interior of the line of the offensive
Orlov’s offensive line is one of the best NFLs, If not # 1And their tackle led the path. But this does not mean that there is no way to create pressure per unit. Philadelphia allowed the highest possible level of pressure in the NFL, mainly from the defender Jalen hurts“Trends, including the highest time to add NFL. And the interior of the line of the offensive can be used.
A Leader usually creates pressure through the elite Chris JonesJohns has another incredible season as a Pas-Rusher, taking first place among the defenders of internal affairs in the field of pressure and decreasing PFF. The leaders are creative in how they use Jones, moving it everywhere along the line of defense to create favorable matches.

This season, all three labels -liners of the Orlov passed at least 30 pressures. The unit especially fought with tricks, where two passages exchanged their spaces after Snap, allowing the second largest percentage of pressure in such games. Nevertheless, the protection of the leaders performs a trick with the lowest speed in the NFL.
The Orlov plan for Chris Jones is probably to slide the center in his direction and a double team. The leaders can answer using the tricks to attack the opposite side of the slide, continuing to exert pressure on the quota -plate with the largest number of emissions and one of the 10 worst pressure rates to the NFL warehouse.

Filadefia eagles
Pull the linear players to generate explosive runs
The eagles created the second largest explosive jogging (runs of 10 yards) and the second largest yards before contact this season. Their offensive line tends to provide large swift stripes, and their run on the back uses this, creating great benefits.
Most of the running game of Philadelphia is a stretch of linear players, in particular, with confrontation and extra. Counter -Bug is when two players from the back of the formation stretch to the front side. The lead of lead is rather a general term when the insult pulls the player from the front, and usually this is visible with the concept of the pin. Eagles lead the league with 28 explosive runs and colossal 3.4 yards before contact (more than to the courtyard in front of the second place) from these concepts.
These runs usually put the defenders into a disadvantage, and if midfielders do not respond quickly, protection can be in a disadvantage. Thus, the eagles could exploit typical protection of the leaders. Kansas -City allowed 0.12 expected points for the game for these concepts, taking fifth place in the NFL. Meanwhile, the defense shot -0.135 EPA for the game on all other mileage concepts.

Use the coatings of the area of the zone to get stops on the third down
The leading Philadelphia League in the 93.6 PFF league PFF coating is equipped with their impressive zone coating, in particular, in third place. When the eagles launch one of their main coverage of the zone (coating 3, coating 4 or coating 6), first of all, the rating of their command, and they allow a third of the expected points added for the game.
Their coating unit exceeds when passing routes in the zone, understanding where the help is, and the knowledge of the tasks in each game. Six defenders of the eagles with the largest number of coating are clung, everyone can boast of 71.0 more than the quality of the PFF coating on the third fall in these previously mentioned coverage of the zone.
The crime of leaders, however, is one of the best in the NFL when transforming in the third fall. They transferred the chains to the second largest frequency, especially opposing the coverage of a person on these falls. Their EPA for the game on the third fall against human coverage is 0.352, which puts the third best. At the third fall against the previously mentioned coverage of the zone, their EPA figure for the game falls up to -0.025, taking only 16th place. It plays right in the hands of the protection of the eagles.
