Former NFL DB Matt Bowen writes about the NFL each week. In this piece, he covered several players with quick notes.
Here’s what he said about LeSean McCoy.
The Eagles will use a variety of concepts/schemes within Chip Kelly’s game plan, but the majority of McCoy’s production comes off the base inside zone that allows the running back to pick a hole, square his pads and get vertically up the field to the second level.
Here’s a look at what McCoy saw on his first touchdown run versus the Lions. With the center and tackle working up to second-level blocks, McCoy can press the edge to the open (weak) side of the formation or get downhill. An ideal scheme for his skill set and vision.
Shady is having a great season.
