TIRED: QB Sneak, WIRED: Rugby Scrum Middle
Imposing your will on a QB Sneak? BORING! Imposing your will using Rugby Scrum Middle? ELECTRIC:
.@Eagles bust out this new formation this week; let’s call it “Rugby Scrum Middle” and had tremendous success gaining a yard when they needed a yard. Good coaching sure helps getting you to 5-0. #FlyEaglesFly #BaldysBrealdowns pic.twitter.com/FB9NPjYbuX

The Eagles are revolutionizing the 4th and 1. Rugby Scrum Middle is the new Wildcat. Conservatively, I think the Eagles ran at least 20 plays where they needed one yard or less. And they were successful on all 20. That’s just the best offensive line in football going to work. Jason Kelce said it’s not about who’s the toughest, it’s about who’s toughest the longest:

People are going to bitch and complain about this not being legal, and I’d be surprised if the NFL didn’t have to address it. But can we also address #51 at the :55 second mark putting Jalen Hurts in a full on headlock and Jalen still driving him back three yards?
