If you guys missed it, Uda and I are going to be taking turns week after week breaking down some of the most memorable plays in recent Eagles history. Uda will be doing the offense, while I'll be doing the defense (mostly I think because we each understand our respected sides better than the other).
For my first play I really wanted to start off with a bang. I didn't want to get an INT, in fact I just wanted to get what is one of my favorite plays (I have a top 3 BTW) I have ever seen happen on the football field, that's out of any team, any level, both offense and defense. So without further hesitation I give you..... (cue drum roll)...
Sheldon Brown wrecks Reggie Bush!!!!
Ok to begin with we line up with a 5 man front. We have 5 players with their hands on the ground looking as if they're going to be blitzing. We only send four and actually get some decent pressure on the QB, I think if this play were anything but a screen pass we make a sack here. Keep in mind one of the 4 (the far man on the DL in this video) is Stewart Bradley, who rushes off the edge.
As far as the LB's go it appears we designate Trotter to the RB. Let's just say we're extremely lucky Sheldon made this play, I think this is huge for the Saints if he didn't.. The other LB pretty much goes and plays a deep third.
The DB's do a pretty good job in this one (not that there was any time to mess up) and it looks as if we were preparing for this play anyway. Sheldon literally takes 0 steps backwards on this one which leads me to believe he was playing zone with the safety picking up the loose man or that Sheldon just 100% free lanced there, to be honest there wasn't much time to allow the play to develop and see either way..
Final thoughts:
See this isn't just my favorite play because it shows that if you execute a play, watch enough film and learn another teams tendency's you can devise a way for players like Sheldon to get in there and make a big hit like that.. The DL did such a good job getting pressure that they OLman couldn't get away to block for Bush, the LB's although Trotter was a step slow had pretty good coverage and Sheldon read that screen, watched it happen and attacked when he diagnosed where it was going.. And to that I say Kudo's Mr. Brown, I miss seeing you in Eagles green.

I wasn’t so much against getting rid of Sheldon Brown as I am/was with getting rid of Sheldon Brown and failing to legitimately replace him. In any case, I miss his good days with us, and this play was a great one.

It isn’t so much that he is free lancing, its that he is in zone coverage and sees the screen pass developing so he runs up to make the play and just happens to get there at the perfect time and lays out Reggie.

Did you click the little “add video” button to the right of the text box? You can just copy & paste the YouTube URL in the window that that brings up (make sure you’re on the “import” tab first). Anyway, I embedded it for you.

No, the coverage allowed for Sheldon to freelance a little...
I mean honestly he could’ve kept with his man but the Safety was helping on that guy and he read then reacted and made shit happen

I've thought about stuff like that...
Everything I do keeps going back to Military. I really want to do SERE in the Air Force, or Air Rescue diver in the Navy…
But honestly I’m going to get my AA which is basically all the general bullshit they make you do.. My parents own a business, I help out alot running it so I know what to do..
I’m actually really interested in astronomy, physics, chemistry, and much much more… I’m a smart kid, I’m going to probably have 3 majors with a minor in Astronomy and a few other things.
But yeah I have actually looked into getting a minor in business and after my 4-6 years in the military (if I choose to get out) taking the G.I. Bill and putting it towards opening my own gym, and making it more affordable for people. I can only afford it every other month at this point because of school, and I know many people can’t even do 1 month a year so I wanna give everybody a release, help everybody get healthy and hopefully make my area of the world a better place.

air force is cool.
best free advice you’ll ever get: don’t waste your time with multiple majors. just pick one major and graduate ASAP. if you wanna go to grad school down the road, that’s a diff discussion. barely anyone i know uses their major for the job they have today.
Well, I want to do many things..
And honestly I don’t see it as a waste of time. I would like explaining to everybody I am a physics, math, and chemistry major…

it's really hard to tell with broadcast videos
without the back half, but I’m pretty sure you guys are playing an under up front and combo coverage, qtrs to the open side with the X, cov 2 to the strong side.
The line is interesting, because they bring the sam up and line up under, and then bring him and drop the rush end to play that seam combo to the qtrs side, he’s definitely not dropping to a 3rd though, not from the line, and you’re two deep anyway.
the lbs, aside from the rusher, look like they’re playing the flat (so trotter runs to cut off the swing pass) and then the Will (or Mike if you count the dropping end as a LB) is playing the middle hook walling the #3 receiver, the Y.
Cool play because it’s not crazy complicated, just a matter of moving a lb and de swapping responsibilities, but it’s effective, especially underneath.

How did you make your Diagrams?

powerpoint is how i do my playbooks, so i just do them on that
then do a screen capture from the slideshow, edit that down in paint or whatever image thing, then upload to fileshack, and they give you the direct links for the post.
it’s hard to believe that’s the quickest way to do it, but i haven’t figured out a better one. a guy on BBV had to walk me through that because i’m pretty useless in the computer world
Well I was hoping to do that but
Im computer illiterate

just make sure it's exactly right before you put it up
because the process of getting the image… takes just enough steps to be really frustrating
I seem to remember...
jumping out of my seat, doing several fist pumps, then stomping the floor and yelling “lets fucking do this, we got this shit!!”
I seem to remember converting a 4th down, but getting called for a false start (good job Nick Cole) and then punting instead. What a frustrating finish. Darwin Walker was just horrible at that point in the year… we couldn’t stop the run when it counted…. sorry but that play will forever be tainted by the ensuing loss

I don't get why you chose this play.
It was all flash.
By the look of it ( and my reaction ) Bush should have expired right there on the field.
But after 15 seconds he was fine; and the Eagles lost the fucking game; because the Saints ran over us.
I love your effort, but, come on, man. The fore arm shiver that Hopkins put on Ernest Givens ( I think ) back in the day was 10,000 times better because it scared the shit out of the whole Oiler receiving corps for the whole game, which the Eagles won!
"What a gorgeous dog. What do you feed him?"
Dude, when you say "back in the day"
remember I’m 19 years old and have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about exactly and that it’s almost impossible to find film I can put on here for it.
I picked this play because win, lose, tie, or all out nuclear war I love that play.. It was perfect from beginning to end, top to bottom. The play call was just right so Sheldon could freelance, the blitz was more than good enough, the LB’s were all in the right place… That play right there wraps everything that was Jim Johnson’s D into one 2-5 second play.

Just being a dick,
don’t mean to have any lasting effect.
I loved Sheldon’s hit, who wouldn’t. I couldn’t believe that little fucker got up and I just wished it could have led to a win and another NFC championship.
If I had my shit together, I would have found and posted that Hopkins hit video. I know you have heard of Hopkins and Waters. You need to see them in action. It may take half of forever, but I’ll try to muster up the skill to post some videos.

Speaking of back in the day...
Keith Byar’s monster hit on Pepper Johnson was reDONKulous!
And I hear you about trying to find the old clips. The only place I could find this Keith Byars clip was by posting a facebook link from someone I dont even know.

Q: What do a leaky tampon and Sean McDermott's defense have in common?
A: They are equally ineffective in the red zone.
That was such an awesome hit
I remember I was watching that game with a Niners fan who wanted Saints to win because he had a Reggie man-crush. That hit was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered.
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Such a good hit
During the season when the NFL started it’s emphasis on head-to-head hits, I pointed to this as a way that players can deliver big hits without going to the head. This sure as hell set the tone for the game, too bad it was wasted. God damn Deuce McCallister…
Also, that’s not Stew Bradley. That’s Dhani Jones. Stew was drafted 3 months after this.
See, that's my bad... I couldn't tell if it was the film or if he was black lol,
I mean I knew deep down Stew didn’t play in the playoffs…
