“The Most Sensitive Area” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth
“Trust me, I know the red zone.”
Sure, a 30–10 victory looks good on paper. But last night, the Green Machine failed when it counted most, scoring only two touchdowns on seven chances in the red zone.
What Coach Reid needs to understand is that the red zone is not only the most fertile area on the field, but it is also the most sensitive. And if you don’t approach this mystical area with confidence, you’ll never score.
This wildcat, pass-happy, unorthodox style of play has to end. It’s simple physics: to score in the red zone you gotta pound, pound, and pound some more, spreading that defense out until it opens right up. And if the Eagles want to make a successful playoff run, they’re gonna have to trust that Westbrook has the stamina to score three, maybe four, times every game.
