This principle is obvious, but it also applies to receivers who are not getting the ball. So much of Scott Turner’s offense relies on receivers to create space for other players in the concept. This is often a thankless job, but it is critical for creating the throwing lanes Wentz needs to be successful and on time.

The last and probably most important element is play calling. This is not only third downs but also first and second down. Most of the Eagles’ sacks last week came in obvious passing situations. My question then becomes, (*3*)

The fans have been calling for Scott to run the ball more. I agree running the football is part of the solution, but I also believe that something as simple changing personnel groupings or formations would be maybe even more impactful. This offense is at its most explosive in 11 personnel (three wide receivers and 1 tight end).

Turner has leaned into this spreading out the offense and getting his best play makers on the field. But by doing this, he has given simpler looks for defensive pass rushers. By simply adding tight ends or putting receivers in close splits, the rushers now have uncertainty. These wrinkles can cause enough hesitation in the pass rusher to give the pass protector the advantage.

Does this group have limitations? Absolutely. But I think when this group gets more support from the scheme, they are more than good enough to let this offense cook. I think they will show that this Sunday against Dallas.
