The Eagles favor running to the middle and right, they run a lot on second down.
They throw primarily middle routes to the center of the field, although in one game they spread to the left, center, and right pretty equally.
Both Baby and Schönheit are droppers.
Teams had good success running to the far right side. The left side to a lesser extent.
They run a 4-3 defense, with man coverage between the 20's the safeties dropping between the numbers and the hashmarks.
This leaves the middle of the field open if the TE and Line can block down.
Second verse same as the first...we match up well with Stockholm defensively with our starters, however, their depth is vastly superior.
Here's a preview of what I'm gunning for this week:
I've switched us to a 3-4. I'm "standing up" DE Slade Wilson on as the LILB. Make us proud Mr. Wilson!
The Defensive Tactics for our defense is going to be the same across the board for all our players:
Tackling: Power
Defensive Focus: Balanced
Coverage: Close/Aggressive
Everyone plays hard!
I'm changing our philosophy a little here as I am trying to create a more "opportunistic" defense. We may get burned...but we may also surprise the **** of the Steamin' Eagles.
If we're going to be damned, we going to be damned for who we really are.

Well hell! IM going to go out on a limb here and say that we need to quit having our defensive players being set on power tackling. The last three games as a team we have had 25, 29 and 17 missed tackles respectively. That is way to much. hell 25, 29 and 17 missed tackles sounds to me like it could be the difference between winning and losing.

This what I was trying to get our defenders to do with the settings I recommended.
I'm going to be overaggressive when we're facing a team that has an entire 11 man second-team offense that match-ups up even with our starters!
I had us play pretty balanced in the first game, and we gave up 51 points! By cranking it up we've lowered that to 31 & 35.
That's progress in my book.
The way I see it, we have two choices really:
1) Play it conservative, let them wear us down and in the process control the ball for 45 minutes.
2) Go bawls-to-the-wall and if they beat us they beat us. One way or another, it at least gets the ball back to the offense quicker so they can work kinks out.
This style of ball-hawking game-planning won't be par for the course when we play a team that doesn't dwarf us with their depth.
