Again, we all hear about Pederson's genius play-calling. Lets have a quick review of Pederson's 1st down play-calling vs Atlanta.
1ST & 10 AT PHI 2(10:51) | 10:51
(10:51) (Shotgun) D.Sproles up the middle to PHI 4 for 2 yards (K.Neal).
11 Personnel, Shotgun Singleback (Left Motion to Right late), Strong Right, Twins Left vs 42 Nickel Over, SS rolled up in box and press on outside.
Inside Zone Weak (Left). The Falcons shift (both DL and LBs) late to the Weak side. This looks very suspiciously like they felt there was a Weak-side run coming! Uncovered RT climbs 2nd level. C and LG combo NT as they drive and move laterally, then LG works 2nd level. The Falcons win play-side enough that they force Sproles to look for the cutback very quickly. Problem is, the rolled up SS is coming downhill in run support and the LE doesn't lose to the TE and maintains integrity against the cutback. The two of them easily shut it down.
