Cons
The Philadelphia Eagles have been faced with a stacked the box on 18.9% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in football. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
The Philadelphia Eagles have utilized motion in their offense on 28.1% of their plays since the start of last season (4th-least in the league), which usually makes an offense more predictable and less effective.
