I will give Andy Reid credit for his ability to organize and prepare. It's the second week of June and Reid has his team getting ready for the NFC East.
They've done this for years. During these OTA's and during training camp, Reid focuses specific practices one of the three NFC East opponents.
It gives the young players a good idea about how big of a role game-planning plays in the NFL. Although the Birds might have 300 to 500 offensive plays, they pick 75 to 100 of them for each game.
They have specific things they want to do against specific defenses.
The same is true on the other side of the ball. There are certain blitzes that are employed against certain offensive formations and specific plays.
Offensive and defensive teams on different teams have different personalities. A good professional players studies his game plan and know what each team likes to do in each situation.
In much the same way in baseball, a good hitter is looking for a certain pitch in a certain location against a specific pitcher when the hitter gets ahead in the count. This is the way power hitters hit home runs and it's also the same concept used by good NFL players when they make big plays.
The Eagles were getting ready for the New York Giants today.
On a side note, somebody must have said something to somebody because that offensive scout team did a better job today and the defense wasn't picking off pass after pass.
If the scout offense is just going through the motions it doesn't anybody any good.
