Not all blitzes are created equal. That much was evident when reviewing how Billy Davis made calls in his debut as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator last week.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Birds sent five rushers or more at Robert Griffin 22 times. On those plays, he went 9-for-20 for 78 yards, an interception and was sacked twice. Keep in mind, as a rookie, Griffin completed 69 percent of his attempts against the blitz, throwing nine touchdowns and no interceptions, per Stats, Inc.
Last year, according to Football Outsiders, the Eagles rushed four 77.8 percent of the time, tops in the league. But that number is going to take a dip in 2013.
“The scheme is built to where any member of the defense can be blitzing at any given time,” Davis said. “We have blitzes for every position – corners, safeties, nickels, dimes, mike backers. Anybody can be a blitzer. Either through an active call or a check.”
Chip Kelly was asked on Thursday how he would go about defending the Eagles’ offense if he was facing them this week.
“Fortunately,” Kelly replied, “I don’t have to.”
But John Pagano does. The Chargers’ second-year defensive coordinator has the task of trying to contain a cheetah of an offense that burst onto the field Monday, wreaked havoc for 30 minutes, and then disappeared into the night. There is little film to go off, and not much time to get his team prepared for the pace at which the Eagles operate.
“Trying to simulate what they do and their tempo…It’s very hard to probably match that tempo anywhere,” said Pagano.
