Super Bowl 2025: The best chances of Eagles to beat the chefs come from a list strategy strongly influenced by Andy Reid

New Orleans – The Chiefs of Kansas City hear Andy Reid’s message in rehearsal.

Reid knows that he is the head coach of the entire football team and he knows that his list includes quarters and runners as well as secondary secondary defenders.

But his beliefs nevertheless stem directly from his experience as a college offensive tackle.

He therefore does not try to protect the emotions or self -esteem of other players when he tells offensive and defensive line players during full team meetings: “It will be you.”

Win in the trenches and Reid expects to win the match. Losing in the trenches, and the way to victory becomes risky.

“It is a good reminder for them on Saturday evening, namely: hey, the offensive line and the defensive line established the tempo,” said Dan Williams, in Yahoo Sports. “We count on you guys, in front of the whole team, we keep you responsible.

“It is a reminder every week that these guys are the most important.”

The chiefs have invested their assets and structured their game plans accordingly, the director general Brett Veach knowing that Reid will not rest until he has high quality players in this position, even if the era of salary ceiling of a league aimed at parity complicates investment through the table.

But the online investments of the Chiefs will face fairly literal obstacles on Sunday in a super Bowl Lix match against the dominant trench game that the Eagles of Philadelphia have built and kissed. Certain talents, such as the offensive platform of Philadelphia, Lane Johnson in 2013, and the defensive platform Jalen Carter in 2023, were made by allowances of precious choice of recovery in the first round. Other times, the Eagles have found players in the later purposes they have undertaken to develop, including the choice of recourse of seventh round Jordan Mailata, which has become a Star left tackle after a training in Australian rugby Rather than university football.

“We are very lucky to have the talent we have in the offensive line,” said Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, in Yahoo Sports. “And it’s every year. It’s not only, “let’s take care of yourself this year”. »»

If the Eagles win Sunday, expect the investment to haunt the chiefs-and perhaps Reid, whose fingerprints are everywhere in the alignment strategy of his opponent.

The mandate of the Eagles of Reid has drawn a course which now enters with its leaders

It was not a secret to a secret to Philadelphia that Reid shaped the history of the franchise as a chief traction of the 14 years from 1999 to 2012.

But while Reid’s time far from the team begins to match the mandate of his time with him, some fans of the Eagles and Chiefs may not realize how much he continues to shape their present and their future.

The commitment of the director general of Philadelphia, Howie Roseman, towards the offensive and defensive lines, has not only arrived in an organic manner. Reid guided this philosophy during their stay together – and Roseman maintained it after seeing his correlation with success.

“It was an obsession on this subject, and we won,” Roseman said on Monday evening. “So for me, it was very clear that it was there that it starts. Most people will do say When they want to build a team, it’s O-Line, D-Line. But sometimes you have to show it in your actions. So, I always had the impression that if our line where could be better than their d-line and that our line D could be better than their line O, we had the chance to win a lot of games.

“I learned that from him, and I am very lucky to be able to spend the first 13 years of my career with coach Reid and learn from him and take the time to watch scenes with me and explain Why was he doing things.

“I certainly would not be in this position if it was not from him, and that’s where it started.”

Reid’s influence encouraged the Eagles to write the current Cam Jurgens departure center in the second round of the NFL 2022 draft despite the all-Pro Jason Kelce commanding the post at the time. Most teams would not just write a backup in the second round; But the foresight allowed the Eagles to go to the post-Kelce era this season without noticeable deposit.

In Kansas City, the chiefs responded spectacularly after losing the Super Bowl LV by signing the left platform of the Patriots of New England All-Pro.

The line editors of each team represent a mixture of free agency, high draft choice and low -level players that have been well developed. But their success is in correlation closely with their places at the Super Bowl.

The defense of the Eagles has ranked eighth this season at Passe-Rush victory rate and third at the Run-Stuff victory rate, their offensive line in sixth in the block victory rate and ninth of the blocking victory rate. The offensive line of the Chiefs ranks ninth and seventh. Their defensive line lines amounted to me below the average (19th and 21st passing and passing through the race, respectively), but the defensive platform All-Pro Chris Jones leads the league in victories made by the passes of the Interior, regularly exploding the quarter-back pockets and running tracks.

“It goes back to Football 101: you must have a quarter who is a difference manufacturer, then after that, the match plan is to protect them at one end and go to the other end,” said Veach to Yahoo Sportif. “You will probably always see most of our investments on both sides of the line because it is so important.”

Like Roseman, Veach does not think that the objective is original or revolutionary. But believing in philosophy is easier than following it.

“I thought that everyone would like a left tackle and a disruptive defensive end, but the game really becomes how to get guys, how do you allow yourself and how do you do it all?” Veach said. “We always try to reinvent ourselves.”

In the Super Bowl and each year, Trench Play does not demoded

NFL trends are passing, from heavy offenses to the passes to attacks first. Some teams run to configure the pass while other teams pass to configure the race. Defensively, the units through the league must decide to fill the box or put back in the cover of the shells, or perhaps the myriad of options on the spectrum between the two.

But the Eagles and the Chiefs both believe: construction through the melee line is the NFL and the agnostic of the program. Large passers -by need protectors. The Eagles, the ball carrier, Saquon Barkley, thanked his offensive line in profus for fueling his 2000 yards. Even the receptors need their quarterrière to protect long enough for their routes to develop.

And the members of the seven rear of a defense know that the rush and the cover work better in tandem.

The more endurance there is, the better.

“We preach you to block the echo of the whistle. Most of the throws are 2.5 seconds, in less than 3 seconds, so if you can hold your guy and stay between him and the quarter-back for 3 seconds, you will be able to win a million dollars, “said the ‘Coach of the offensive line of chefs Andy dit Heck. “But we will always say:” Well, don’t leave this egg timer. “Because our guy prolongs games. And they learn this quickly.

Carter and a defensive line of the Eagles coordinated by Vic Fangio will aim to accelerate this clock, knowing that the solitary loss of the Super Bowl of Mahomas has largely came due to a rupture of protection.

If Jones of Kansas City can explode the pocket, it can probably not only thwart the quarter-rear of Eagles Jalen hurts, but also disturb the pace of the sleight of hand that Barkley is looking for.

The Reid team could win. His philosophy has already done so.

As he said to his lines on Saturday evening that the game will be won or lost on them, his opponent will preach a similar message from the same original source.

“I think that’s why we are here, right?” Veach said of Reid. “He has done a lot of big things and he has a lasting imprint wherever he goes.

“And again, it is probably not (coincidence) that we both learned from him and appreciate the same things gathered two incredible football teams.”
