Eagles didn’t blitz Chiefs one time last night. Similar to Bucs vs. KC in the 2021 Super Bowl.

But it’s not as simple as “blitz vs. no-blitz”.

To win with just a 4-man rush, you have to have monsters on the edge and beasts in the middle.

Great edge rushers can be neutralized…

Watt nailed it. Thuney got abused playing out of position and Calliendo had no chance. Left side collapsed almost instantly all game long. Right side was a little better, but not much. It was just a perfect storm to go up against an OL that had been in flux all season. That's why, for this game, I would have given serious thought of putting Thuney back at LG and at least have a strength on strength situation somewhere, with our interior 3.
