Eagle Eye: Inside Bradford's Perfect Night - PhiladelphiaEagles.com
Bradford was accurate, decisive and he kept the Eagles "on schedule" the entire time he was in the game. Head coach Chip Kelly spoke after the Ravens game last week and talked about how, at this point in the preseason, they only use a handful of plays throughout the game, and that was again the case against Green Bay. This is the first play of the game, and the Eagles are running a concept we’ve covered many times before, one I’ve always known as "snag," but you’ll see a lot of people refer to as "spot" or "triangle. " It features a corner route ( ). Why do some people refer to this as "triangle". It creates a triangle read for the quarterback. The three routes combine to create three points of a triangle. How those routes open up and how the defenders react to them will affect where the quarterback decides to go with the football. There is a vertical stretch element (coming from the corner route and flat route) and a horizontal stretch element (the flat route and the curl route). We’ve heard this phrase a lot over the past couple of years, but this is an example of the quarterback keeping the offense "on schedule" to bring up second-and-5. It’s second-and-3, and again we’ve got a "snag" concept. Source: www.philadelphiaeagles.com
