CrazedDogs Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 What's "wide-9"? Thats the technique the DEs play in their scheme. I don't know if there's a name or any rhyme or reason for anything else that happens on that defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I might have the name wrong but it's the style the Eagles are using this season where the DEs line up very wide witht heir heads down and eys on the ball, then crash in on the Tackles at the snap. I really like the wide-9 as a defensive tactic to mix things up. As the basis for a defensive scheme... I don't get it. I really, really hope that if Andy Reid sticks around he shows some loyalty to his coaches. hehehehe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense if yo have big, physical DEs who benefit from the extra head of steam in their bullrush. It should be pretty effective at collapsing the pocket and closing run lanes, though you need the LBs to have contain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think Jason Babin's 18 sacks are a testament to the talent of Trent Cole.) But why were they expecting to be able to run that all the time with those linebackers? Dumb dumb dumb.

Sephiroth Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I love the Eagles' "wide nine" defensive set. They line up wide... we run for nine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Urlacher and Briggs though. The pigeons don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb37 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I would be surprised if Spags went back to the Birds. He and Reid parted on pretty bad terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 If Reese hasn't been on the phone yet I'll fly down the NY and choke that bitch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 My bet is Reese and the FO kept in touch with him all along... If he signs with another team it won't be because the Giants didn't make an effort. I think you overestimate Reese.....he does his homework before draft day, but otherwise, he's got cement shoes. If the Steve Smith debacle is any guide........welcome back to Philly, Spags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steve Smith debacle is any guide........welcome back to Philly, Spags. I don't know...the Giants aren't shy about paying coaches, and there's no cap issues; so I don't think Reese would be particularly hesitant. And even with the slug-like process that they have when it comes to coaching changes, Fewell's contract is up after this season, and he's made Reese look bad by the way this defense has performed; so it isn't unreasonable for Jerry to have made a call already.

It really would make a ton of sense for Reese / Front Office to make an aggressive move for Spags. And, I would think, all things being equal, a NYG DC job would be more appealing than a Philly DC job. Still, I think the Eagles front office has proven to be far more nimble than the Giants.....thankfully, all their moves didn't pan out this season.

I expect the Giants will need to hope for the same with Spags, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
