How The Eagles Have MASTERED The RPO! (Film Breakdown)

[@amfshadow2068]

I’m not a eagles fan….but I think I just witnessed art watching them run the RPO

[@JEMlivefootball]

very wholesome! they are such a good team running the ball, the fact that they can make it even easier keeping linebackers guessing and creating lighter boxes. It only hurts them if they get down in the game early because the run game isn't as much as a threat. so they need to stay in the game, run these on 1st and 2nd down and stay ahead of the sticks. They're going to be tough to guard!

[@glenwithonein]

RPO basically let's the QB play point gaurd, especially if they are a good runner. It's not gimmicky or remedial. It's flexible and dynamic.

[@JEMlivefootball]

that's such a great comparison. I think you're spot on. and don't get me wrong you have to run it VERY well to be able to have it work in the NFL. But if you reach that level, you just gain such an advantage when football is all about numbers

[@danoelfke93]

Love the Kelce pancake 6:00

[@kamuka7218]

It turns out the RPO is the answer in 2022! Thanks for showcasing this offense 6 months ago prior to the amazing season that the Eagles are having. I'm a Seahawks fan by the way.

[@adamant5550]

Whew that double stack with extreme WR splits reminded me of the Briles/Baylor offense

[@JEMlivefootball]

another example that "gimmicky" college offensive concepts can actually translate to the NFL level!

[@adamant5550]

@@JEMlivefootball Yep, there were so many talking heads and head coaches that said the spread offense would never work in the NFL. Eagles are proving you can run a pure spread option in the NFL.

[@DarkestVoid]

We’re definitely great at RPOs but the problem is we do it too much that it gets very predictable. Hopefully the playbook opens up a lot more assuming Hurts has improved by a large margin in passing.

[@Aaron-wq3jz]

I think if hurts improved a decent amount year after year the Eagles should keep him and negotiate with him to take less money to build a better team for the long term

[@robertgilmore155]

It is predictable but who can stop it

[@FlareTheFolf]

@@robertgilmore155 it is both predictable and unpredictable, since there are different RPO routes and each one is different and unique and all it takes is for Hurts to process 3 different reads and it's gained yards

Maybe it’ll help Hurts for him not to have to worry about job security this year. He can just play freely.

[@i_i8924]

As a Dolphin fan.. my body is ready

[@Ocean5ix]

We got lucky with that penalty that wasn't called because they called it a billion times throughout the season. The problem I see with this identity is that IMO you gotta be able to also adapt and become a "drop back and pass" team, otherwise when you're playing from behind you're screwed. We all knew a good team with a decent defense and strong offense would beat us and it's exactly what happened.

[@RJ-st5rw]

i agree but this opens up the pass because if a defence is keyed in on the run you will have 1 on 1 situations and if they drop into pass pro you have numbers in the box and can take runs 20+ yards down the field

[@Directprocessor]

Aj Brown will make this a top 5 offense

[@fiftheyeblind]

[@pierrebaptiste1895]

Hey man what app or software do you use to draw concepts on screen ?

[@Swaggmire215]

The defense is why we didn't win three more games last season but they did get better gradually I will say. But running the ball makes life soooo much easier. That game against the bucs was a heck of a learning experience for Jalen and actually helps alot more than hurts him

[@mousie508]

The defense??? It was actually the offense not finding they game for the first half of the season before even utilizing our run game. Remember when miles had to beg for the ball? For some unknown reason we barely ran the ball

[@why-so-seriousx6192]

[@PweeBurntPizza]

So how would you try and defend the RPO?

[@JEMlivefootball]

ooo there might be a video idea! that's actually super interesting, because on paper, it seems incredibly hard to stop without being able to stop the run with the front 4, or not having nickel corners being able to win in man coverage

[@isaiahwaddington1170]

WE DIDNT REMASTER the RPO WE just FINALLY have a QB that CAN RUN IT an is an ATHLETE!!!

[@TheBigShotJonesy]

9 months later n eagles are in the Super Bowl.

[@ESOLeroyJenkins]

Average is a kind way of describing Hurts throwing ability. You highlighted one play where they got away with lineman downfield. They were actually called for it too frequently because Hurts doesn't read a single progression quick enough, let alone multiple. He's also wildly inaccurate hitting spots, bailed on phantom pressure, his spin and run around like a chicken with his head cut off in a clean pocket is legendary and he has trouble pushing the ball downfield without crow hopping due to bad footwork/mechanic (and his phantom pressure/headless chicken antics). He put up average at best QB stats on the back half against some of the worst teams in the league and then got embarrassed in the playoffs. I'm not sure mastered is the right word. The RPO was pretty much scrapped because of Hurts inability to read quick enough for hard PA with limited reads. I think some of this has to do with his pre snap crouch because of his inability to use his periph to receive the snap, this is further highlighted by the plays he left on the field. Paint me a Hurts hater if you want.

[@thecoachphillyal2659]

How you liking him so far this year just asking your honest opinion?

[@ESOLeroyJenkins]

@@thecoachphillyal2659 much improved. He’s reading the field a bit. The offensive spurts are fantastic play calling and he’s not needing to do much work. Arm strength is still lacking. I’d like to see more throws on a rope but he’s thrown some good rainbows, some ducks. I’m excited to see him in a game where he has to play 4 quarters. Hopefully Jax proves an actual challenge. The O is hard to defend and he’s caretaking well outside of his 1 qtr explosion a game so far this year.

[@ESOLeroyJenkins]

@@thecoachphillyal2659 he does need to stop taking stupid hits though 🤣

[@mattvarvorski]

Right. Too many screens on like 2&9 which is completely ridiculous

[@mkvalor]

I appreciate your content and I love the Eagles. But the real reason why they won 7 of their last 10 games was that they had THE EASIEST strength-of-schedule in the NFL for that stretch of the season. It's not their "fault", of course, that they had to play the opponents who were assigned to them. But the win ratio during that time does not necessarily indicate the effectiveness of their offensive approach. Their defense also got better at limiting the run, which helped greatly. I would like to imagine that they could go far with a good mix of RPO concepts. Hell, they got to the Superbowl with that approach using Nick Foles four years ago but no novelty stays effective for long in the NFL. Just look at how mortal the Kansas City Chiefs seemed last season.
