NFC East news: Eagles’ receivers happy with new offensive system under Kellen Moore

The new-look Philly offense is a welcome sight in the wide receiver room.

PHILADELPHIA — “Motion” was the key word in the Philadelphia Eagles offense last season, for all the wrong reasons.

The NFL has trended toward pass catchers moving fluidly at the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. The San Francisco 49ers used motion prior to the snap 70.2% of the time, and the Kansas City Chiefs 60.5%. Both teams that reached the Super Bowl were in the top four in offensive plays that had a player in motion.
