Daily News | A closer look at new Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick’s usage in Jonathan Gannon’s scheme
When Haason Reddick gets sacks, they tend to pour in. Of the 23½ sacks he notched in his two previous seasons, 16½ came in nine games in which he had more than one, including a five-sack performance against the New York Giants in 2020.
“We just saw how close he was,” the coach said three days later. “One thing I do know about defensive end play is that as an offensive coach, it can be very tempting at times to be like, he hasn’t had a sack in three weeks, I’m not going to help [block] him.If there was an explosion in Washington, it came from the entire defensive front as the Eagles tallied nine sacks of quarterback Carson Wentz.
As for the hullabaloo on Reddick having to drop into coverage, he has done so on only 12 out of 81 pass plays . Is it scheming to his strengths? Probably not. But sometimes there needs to be individual sacrifice for the benefit of team defense. And at least for the Eagles’ last two games, it’s hard to argue with Gannon’s methods.
Pass rushers must stay patient. Even the best have what could be described as wins about a third of the time. The Browns’ Myles Garrett had a league-best 37.7 percent win rate last season, per PFF. Reddick was at 19.2 percent. So far this year, he’s at 17.1. Reddick is typically best when he gets from point A to B by the shortest possible route. He’ll try an occasional spin move, but it’s rare to see an inside rush to outside spin, like the one below, produce pressure. There just isn’t enough time to get home.
