In the Eagles’ offense, timing is key when it comes to the passing game. Some have called Doug Pederson and Frank Reich’s offense a “West Coast hybrid,” and one of the fundamental features of that offense is timing. It needs to be just right, or the finished product doesn’t come out the way it was drawn up and mapped out.
How is that timing developed? According to Mike Quick, who played nine seasons with the Eagles and is in the team's Hall of Fame, it all comes down to a quarterback being able to build and improve upon a relationship with his wide receiver.
