Video Breakdown: LeSean McCoy's TD

PrintFor this week's video breakdown, we're going to take a look at LeSean McCoy's TD run. The beauty of this play was in it's simplicity. This wasn't a shovel pass or a bizarre HB option. There was no misdirection or anything. They simply sent the big left, ran behind them and dared the Redkins to stop it. They didn't. Seven points.
There were a few interesting points though. For one, keep an eye on Brent Celek here who just mauls his guy and has him pushed back to the top of the "E" in Redskins by the time McCoy hits the end zone. Owen Schmitt does a nice job sealing off OJ Atogwe, who would have been in great position to stop McCoy in the backfield. Todd Herremans ends up on London Fletcher, which is just a big mismatch that Herremans wins easy. Danny Watkins just pushes Barry Cofield down and lays on top of him. Evan Mathis draws who I believe is Brian Orapko and pushes him back. Jason Kelce just dives down in front his guy and puts him on the ground.
The only guy on the line who does get a great push is Kyle DeVan, who gets pushed into the backfield by Adam Carriker. Luckily, McCoy flies right by him and Carriker doesn't seem to realize. (Note - As people in the comments have pointed out, I seem to have gotten Mathis and DeVan backwards.)

I am glad to see us winning based on talent.
Not fluke turnovers, or stupid mistakes made. But to actually have the Oline beat their guys off the line, to see the FB and TE picking up their man and taking care of business. That is what showcases a teams talent.
Brilliant.

It is a thing of beauty
Shady is right now the best in football at what he does and I am glad the coaches finally used him. If we can through10-12 games(we know AR wont do 16) a season like this together we are unstoppable on offense. Shady adds something that Vick didnt have in ATL. The best back in the league that is. He may not be leading in rushing and that is because of lack of carries. But he is right there. Bring on the pain, nothing a football player loves more then knocking people around in the running game. This gets your O-line fired up also. Remember this moment Reid!!
Vick had reasonable runningbacks in Atlanta. He did not have the calibre of receiving options though that he has now.
But really, Reid is far more important to Vicks success than anything.
I would like to thank my hands for being so great, for allowing me to type this post.

I really thought we would make a bigger splash before the trade deadline. There are plenty of needs and plenty of bait.
1. I thought Steve Smith would have been some good bait since we rarely use him.
2. I thought Asante would have drawn more demand.
3. I thought a push to bring in a LB would have happened. I think they have their mind set on a LB or two in the draft again. Hopefully higher than the 6th rd.
4. I thought an addition for the O-line would have been great too.

no one wants to better us, and I cant blame them
especially when were stocked on talent that it will be lil loss for us

true, or they want what we have, know our desperation for a LB, and our FO is not willing to be fleeced for one.

We could give up a draft pick… we have 12 picks for next year. Most of those won’t be seeing the field unless Young, Smith, Samuel, and Jackson doesn’t come back. It would be cheaper in the long run plus you have Juan with one year under their belt. With 12 picks, you have room for error to draft players needed for the team. Even if you have a draft bust, you still have 11 other possibilities. I’m liking next year better. I think next year will be really special.
I think Matthews, Clayton and Page will be gone after the season too.

People there tought Casey would be a good pass rusher was/is an idiot. Casey have the potential to be a good WLB once he gets his head straight.

What does that mean? How will he find talent there?

I say he have the potential, based on that he was a very good coverage LB. People have to understand that Casey tried to learn MLB first and then tried to learn WLB in a week, where Brian Rolle had the whole TC to learn WLB.

Yeh
I guess he could develop some more. I was just never impressed with him to begin with, even coming out of the draft.

Midseason trades are pretty rare in the NFL. It’s no surprise that they didn’t make a major deal. Most teams don’t. And veteran players like Smith and Samuel generally don’t bring back much when they do get traded at midseason — remember, they’d have to learn a new scheme on the fly in most cases, and teams are typically hesitant to trade something of value for an over-30 unless he’s really, really good.
LB would be nice, but I’m guessing no one wanted to part with one who would have been a significant upgrade. Adding an average LB wouldn’t help all that much — you need to either upgrade all three of them, or bring in someone who is a serious impact player. Both are unlikely at this point in the season. The Eagles did go for a LB a couple year back with Will Witherspoon — that probably would have been the best sort of scenario we could have hoped for, and if you remember, Witherspoon didn’t do all that much to improve the team’s LB play.
The Eagles don’t need more depth on the offensive line. If anything, that’s a strength. (With that said, why was DeVan in at the goal line?)
I bet you Teams wanted to give up picks for Asante, not players. Which makes sense as most teams with interest are most likely contenders.

The Rex Grossman era has ended… now Beck is the starting quarterback for the LOLskins.
I come in peace. Neutrality is my thing.
Barry Sanders is better than Deion Sanders.
wow
Beck is a third cousin of American conservative talk show host Glenn Beck.
He was drafted 40th overall in the 2nd round of the 2007 NFL draft, the 4th QB to go, behind JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, and Kevin Kolb.
…
We almost had Glenn Beck’s cousin as our Quarterback.
What an awesome draft class.
Russell – bust
Quin- crappy back up
Kolb – average to below average qb
Beck -???
Glenn Beck…the former crystal meth addict… I think he still on it. Michael Irvin and Glenn Beck should be friends.
I come in peace. Neutrality is my thing.
Barry Sanders is better than Deion Sanders.
I went to the same college as his daughter.

Mathins, Not DeVan
On McCoy’s TD, Carriker is in the gap between Mathis and DeVan.
Mathis — not DeVan – tries to handle Carriker.
And it’s Mathis, not DeVan, who — because of Carriker’s leverage from being lined up in the gap — gets pushed back nearly into McCoy.
DeVan is #69

Yeah, my bad.
"Even those invested in the idea that the journey is the destination may feel they've taken a train to nowhere." - Terry Lawson
Yeah...
DeVan was in at RT… with Herremans at T eligible… and Devan got good push on the play…. then sealed his guy. Mathis rode Carriker wide… and almost into Shady… but luckily as JasonB said… Carriker was too busy pushing to actually see the RB.
Justice is #74, dude, RT.

Devan was at LT… not RT… with Herremans at TE/T eligible.

That’s LaRon Landry that Celek manhandled. Landry has to make sure it’s not a pass before he he can go full bore after the running back, so it’s understandable that Celek would have the initial edge, but Celek still does a great job locking onto Landry and driving him deep into the end zone.

nice to see Watkins
improving and being a force in the running game. That guy has a nasty streak about him.

Once the o-line settle, Watkins-Herramans, should form a greater right side in the run game.
by Anders Jensen on Oct 19, 2011 12:21 PM EDT up reply actions
what a 180
last year our line seemed terrible. This year with Peters/Mathis and Watkins/Herremans, and Kelce backed by Jamaal Jackson, it actually seems really good!
Could be that Howard Mudd is a good o-line coach? even tho alot of people was ready to call him overrated in the preseason.

Celek did a great job last week
Hope to see him used more often in the game plan the rest of the yr. We have 2 big division games goming up,and we NEED to win both. Back to back.

I wish they would do more of this on the goal line.
The Eagles are not a power running team, no matter how many times they pack the box and call the dive. They need to either spread out and create gaps in the defense or pack in tight and run wide. Speed is their best asset and they negate it when they pretend to be the 1975 Steelers.
