- The Eagles' run-and-pass scheme probably won't work for now while their run game stays this bad.
On the run game being a disaster through five games, when the scheme depends on marrying the run and the pass.
“i just don't know that it's going to work right now”

In context
KapadiaAnd he's just not going to be comfortable or have that trust with the way things are set up at the moment or again, in previous years as well, where he's going to target the middle of the field. So yeah, that was one conclusion that I had. I don't know why it was this week.
KapadiaIt wasn't anything specific, but it's funny that we kind of both had that in our notes for this game specifically. So I think one big thing here,
KapadiaSean, is that their run game is so bad. And it's not just one game. I understand they had their fourth string running back in there this last game. We're talking about a five -game sample, and their running game is pretty much a disaster.
Kapadiaand so when you're talking about marrying the run in the pass is a big part of your scheme and your run game stinks i think it just like that's the one thing they needed to be able to hang their hat on to make everything else work and i just don't know that it's going to work right now so you look at the other stuff they're 29th in under center snaps they're 25th in under center play action you mentioned the
Kapadiamiddle of the field stuff and i just don't know how that stuff gets fixed with the scheme you want to run when your run game isn't performing. So did this feel this to you? Was it, Hey, I would have loved to see more bells and whistles to put your guys in position to succeed with this.
KapadiaYou know, there's only so much you can do when you're facing a good run defense and you've got a bunch of backup offensive linemen in there. How did you square what you saw? Cause this really was, um, a terrible rushing performance from the
SyedEagles. So there's a little bit of first half or second half here because I do think Mannion took a little bit of a different approach in this game where there was, you know, some motion, some misdirection, a little bit more of that vertical kind of attacking inside type run situation.
