After winning the Super Bowl in 2017, many labeled Doug Pederson as a brilliant offensive mind due to his play calling with backup QB Nick Foles and even their franchise QB Carson Wentz, before his injury. Coach Pederson did something that Andy Reid couldn’t and that Chip Kelly wouldn’t.
He integrated his base West Coast offense with Kelly’s style of the spread offense. Taking two great offensive ideas and making it his own. Two years later and now the offense looks as if it’s hit a brick wall.
This season the Eagles are playing out of shotgun 86% of the time while going under center for only 14% of the time.
