Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks’ zone-read offense might have some trouble against the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense on Sunday.
Eagles coach Chip Kelly and eight assistant coaches joined last year from college teams--where the zone-read style of offense is commonplace.
With that in mind, defensive coordinator Bill Davis Jr. said that will give his team an advantage against Seattle’s run-heavy offense.
“It’s the biggest difference,” Davis told NJ Advance Media. “Our guys have spent a career defending this. It’s old hat to them. They have answers right away.
“From the aspect of them knowing the answers right away they’ve defended it so much, as an NFL lifer, I haven’t head to have those kind of [zone read] discussions very much in my career.”
Davis added his players also practice against coach Kelly’s zone-read style each day.
