Along with writing the All-22 offense and protection evaluations after every Eagles recreation this 12 months, I may also write this one referred to as ‘Idea of the Week.’ I’ll break down a particular idea or play on offense and protection and clarify the play in additional element. Hopefully, it will let you look out for that play in future weeks. This week, we’ll have a look at Jalen Hurts’ throw to AJ Brown on a rollout often known as ‘Sprint’.
Sprint Submit Cross
Shout-out to the legend, Coach Dan Casey, for making this week’s ‘Idea of the Week’ good and simple! Dan was one of many inspirations for the collection this season as a result of he has a free e mail subscription service referred to as ‘One Play a Day’, the place he sends out a unique idea every single day. I extremely advocate subscribing right here if you wish to study extra about offensive ideas. I’ve been a subscriber since day one and have now seen over 400 ideas.
I clicked on his e mail just a few days in the past and noticed that it was an Eagles play! Dan’s ‘One Play a Day’ this week was Jalen Hurts’ completion to AJ Brown on an idea often known as ‘Sprint’. Sprint is solely a rollout and not using a play motion. This lets you run the rollout with out being below middle. Right here is the play from Dan’s e mail.
Clearly, ‘Sprint’ shouldn’t be all the idea. The Eagles ran a really customary idea often known as ‘post-cross,’ which you will note each single workforce run all through the season. Submit-cross is a good idea because it stretches the protection vertically with the submit route. The crossing route is great in opposition to man protection and requires good route distribution if the protection is in zone protection. The Eagles ask AJ Brown to run the crossing route, and Hurts finds him alongside the sideline. Right here is the video! On the time, I wasn’t 100% positive if the rollout was deliberate, however I’ve clearly modified my thoughts since!

The Eagles did not assault vertically on this recreation however have been excellent within the intermediate space of the sector. pic.twitter.com/76sDyKnnXe

It’s a very easy play however an efficient one. I don’t suppose the Eagles have accomplished a adequate job over the previous few years at getting Hurts on the transfer, so I hope we see some extra ‘Sprint’ ideas. Preserve a watch out for this for the rest of the season! If it labored so effectively this week, why not attempt to construct on it shifting ahead?
Lastly, I’m going to be doing the identical phase on my podcast weekly, so if you wish to try a video rationalization along with the article, you are able to do so right here!
