Looking at the creativity that Kellen Moore can bring to the Eagles

As I stated within the final Kellen Moore put up, I’ve watched a lot movie on the brand new Eagles offensive coordinator that I’ll flip all of the clips I recorded right into a sequence of posts, reasonably than only one lengthy article. Every one will give attention to a number of completely different elements of Kellen Moore’s philosophy. In case you haven’t checked out the earlier two articles, then please accomplish that earlier than studying this one!

Half 1: Run Sport, PA Bare Bootleg and Movement

Half 2: The Blitz, Quads/Journeys Formations and Vertical Pictures

On this one, I’ll have a look at a couple of bits I didn’t get to within the first two items after which give my total ideas on the rent.

Creativity

I’ll be trustworthy, I’m not somebody who’s a giant fan of ‘trick performs’ or no matter. Sure, the Philly Particular is the best Tremendous Bowl play of all time. However, let’s be actual, after we are analyzing an offense and breaking down the scheme, we not often embrace trick performs in our evaluation.

Nonetheless, why not? In case you watched the Eagles’ offense final 12 months, you had been most likely fairly bored at occasions. The Eagles didn’t strive something fancy or distinctive, even when nothing was working. I believe that may change subsequent 12 months, as Kellen Moore makes use of extra artistic performs to try to shock defenses and likewise to set them up for the same look in a while within the recreation.

I’ve known as this part creativity, however I might have named it ‘WR Fly Sweeps’. Kellen Moore likes to make use of his receiver within the run recreation and I’m going to be wanting laborious at vast receivers who excel with the ball of their fingers within the draft this 12 months. The Eagles completely want a brand new profile at WR3 this offseason. WR3 performs an necessary position in Moore’s offense as a result of he likes to run performs like this.

As I stated within the tweet, that is one other means that Moore desires to stretch protection horizontally.

I noticed numerous 21 personnel with our of backs break up out vast too. In case you learn my work final 12 months, you already know that I’m an enormous fan of 21 personnel so I obtained excited once I noticed this play. It’s one other means that Moore tries to disguise what he desires to do. I’ll return to the quote from my first article on Moore…

Our entire objective from an out of doors perspective is to make it look as complicated as potential. And on the finish of the day, it’s fairly easy for us. It’s a variety of the identical ideas, it’s a variety of methods of doing the identical issues.

How cool is that this play? Simply watch the Texans linebackers. They don’t know what’s going on.

This subsequent one is definitely my favourite play that I noticed on-line. That is simply superior. It’s not only a random trick play both. This works due to what Kellen Moore’s offenses prefer to run. We all know he likes to run toss performs (learn article 1!) and we now have already stated above that he likes to run fly sweeps together with his receivers too.

Positives

If I haven’t backed every part up with stats right here, please return and skim the first and 2nd articles. That is extra of a abstract of issues that I’m fairly sure of, primarily based on the movie and the stats!

+ Kellen Moore has a confirmed monitor file of success. He led an excellent Cowboys’ offense over a number of years. This isn’t an unproven younger coach who will probably be overruled by Nick Sirianni.

+ He has confirmed that he can plan an offense to succeed in opposition to the blitz. The leaked 2021 playbook highlights that he takes this a part of an offense very critically.

+ He has a monitor file of efficiently utilizing movement over a number of years, in each the run recreation and move recreation.

+ He runs an offense that features a variety of underneath heart which is able to give the Eagles’ offense one other dimension.

+ His offenses can have a number of ways in which he can beat the protection, and I anticipate extra changes week to week reasonably than a ‘we’re higher than you and we are going to run our offense it doesn’t matter what’ id.

+ He matches the philosophy of an aggressive coach who desires to take photographs down the sector and options his star expertise at receiver.

+ He’s prepared to decide to the run when he must. His Cowboys’ offenses had been persistently very sturdy in operating the ball.

Negatives

– Make no mistake, that is going to be a change in scheme for all of the offensive gamers. The offensive line goes to need to get used to operating extra outdoors zone. The receivers will probably be requested to run ideas primarily based on timing and never simply isolation down the sector routes. All eligible receivers should be ready to probably alter their routes relying on if the protection blitzes.

– That is going to be a giant take a look at for Jalen Hurts. Kellen Moore’s offense will ask him to do various things. He hasn’t been underneath heart in a very long time. He hasn’t been requested to show his again to the protection on play-action. He hasn’t proven that he can run an offense that basically focuses on sizzling routes when the protection blitzes.

– I need an offense that options an underneath heart run recreation, nevertheless it does take away the mobility of the quarterback at occasions. This might influence the Eagles’ offense run recreation negatively if it doesn’t work and he might conflict with Jeff Stoutland.

– He hasn’t featured the display recreation as an offensive coordinator, which is a disgrace as a result of the Eagles’ offensive line could be very sturdy. However the crew hasn’t had an excellent display recreation in years, and I don’t anticipate that to vary.

– He solely lasted one season with a particularly gifted quarterback at his disposal. Though he wasn’t technically fired because the Head Coach was fired.

– The Chargers’ offense wasn’t nice final 12 months. Sure, that they had a variety of accidents and a disastrous operating recreation. However they underperformed.

Total

I’m excited by this rent. Sadly, regardless of watching a hell of a variety of movie on Kellen Moore’s offenses, I can’t let you know that the rent is assured to work! It’s actually troublesome to foretell this stuff as a result of there are such a lot of variables. I believed I’d get my excuses out of the way in which early…

I believe Moore matches Nick Sirianni’s philosophy effectively, however the way in which he does it is rather completely different. This offense goes to look completely different subsequent 12 months if Moore is really the person in cost. The aggressive mindset is comparable, however the scheme is loads completely different. I’m certain the Eagles will maintain parts of the offense which were profitable these previous few years, however this crew wanted a shakeup.

I needed the Eagles to rent a brand new offensive coach who will deliver new parts, together with the usage of movement, solutions in opposition to the blitz, and somebody who’s confirmed and never inexperienced. Kellen Moore ticks all these 3 bins. That is going to be a distinct offense, and there could possibly be a studying curve for Jalen Hurts, however I believe this offense might be profitable and I’m optimistic that Kellen Moore is the person to steer this time ahead. No matter occurs subsequent 12 months, if Moore is given full management, I anticipate this to be a really completely different offense than what we noticed in direction of the tip of this 12 months. That may’t be a nasty factor.
