The screen game

There was a play where if Fred Johnson didn't whiff on his block in space, Mixon has a huge gain.  Never went back to it.  

This is yet another example of Taylor not understanding his opponent as the Eagles have one of the worst LB corps in the league.

Yep

I've heard a few people say now it's not the playcalling. And I get it, it's missing blocks, blown assignments, dropped passes, bad throws, and so on along with the play calls. 

But what about the plays not called ? What about understanding your opponent ? taking advantage of their weakness ? knowing your strengths ? knowing how to set up an opponent ?
