we’ve examined his performance as a pass blocker, as an inside run blocker

In our final film room breakdown of the week http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/clayton-geathers-jersey , we take a look at Ryan Kelly’s ability to block at the second level. To this point, , and in pulling situations. Each of these skills is important but one of the most challenging requirements for linemen, and potentially one of the most valuable, is the ability to place an effective block at the second level. It is one thing to place a block when pulling down the line, it is another to enter open space against smaller, more agile and more athletic players at the second level. Let’s take a look at how Kelly did in this aspect of the game against the Raiders.As with each of our film room pieces, I start with the worst and most ineffective snaps. Here, Kelly explodes into space but overshoots his mark and finds himself out of position. This gave the linebackers a clean lane to hit Marlon Mack as he burst through the line.Kelly does a better job of getting to an appropriate depth downfield before he pivots to get a block at the second level. He does enough to re-route and otherwise occupy the defenders for Marlon Mack to get into the secondary. If Anthony Castonzo and Jack Doyle do a better job on the edge, Mack would have only a safety to beat with a lot of green in front of him.As with pulling blocks, it is easy for fans to create an unrealistic expectation in their heads. Kelly doesn’t need to pancake a defender or lock on to shove a player completely out of the play. He needs to re-route, slow down, or impede the flow of the defense long enough for the ball carrier to move freely to the next level. This play is a prime example of doing what needs to be done. He re-routes the linebacker just enough for Hines to squeeze through without being meaningfully bothered by the defender.While much of the work on this play is done on the left side of the offensive line, and by Jack Doyle who gets an excellent outside kick to open up a massive running lane, Kelly does his job to the inside. He gets to the second level, impedes the flow of the linebacker toward the running lane, and gets two shots on him to keep him from having any chance to impact the play.This play breaks down because rookie left guard Quenton Nelson is unable to gain outside leverage on P.J. Hall (#92) when the ball is snapped. However, Kelly does an excellent job of reading the linebackers and quickly dipping his hips only a couple of yards down the field. He acts as a wall that keeps Marquel Lee (#55) and Clinton McDonald (#97) from having any chance to make a play. If Nelson wins here and Mack doesn’t have to jump over 600 pounds of football player, he could have been into the secondary with a ton of space to cut the run back to the inside.You would like to see Kelly stay on his feet on this play. He took a great angle to get a body on Jason Cabinda (#53) (by the way Authentic Jordan Wilkins Jersey , what in the sweet lord has Jon Gruden done to this team — who are these guys?) but losing his balance allows Cabinda to release and get back into pursuit. Mark Glowinsi (#64) is unable to maintain outside leverage on Hall (#92) who again disrupts an outside run. Kelly’s block didn’t make or break the play.This clip shows the challenge for massive linemen engaging players in space. If the linebacker is patient, like Tahir Whitehead (#59) on this play, it is difficult to sustain a block in space. There is so much room to the right and left for Whitehead to escape that the best you can hope to do here is slow him down long enough for the play to get past him. A number of failures occur on this play. Mark Glowinski’s inability to redirect Lee (#55) impacts the flow of the play and forces the ball carrier to bounce the play to the outside. Eric Ebron gets completely blown up by Johnathan Hankins (#90), no surprise, and that closes the hole where the play was supposed to go. This was supposed to be a run inside of right tackle Braden Smith but it is bounced outside because the play broke down. ANALYSISRyan Kelly put together an impressive performance in each phase of the game against the Oakland Raiders. He does a good job of putting himself in proper position to give the ball carrier an advantage on the ground and has been a big part of leading an offensive line that has not allowed a sack in over three games. After taking at look at his tape, it isn’t hard to understand why offensive line coach Dave Deguglielmo thinks so highly of him. Carson Wentz has been waiting for this moment since he tore up his knee last December.No. 11 will be back under center for the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) against the Indianapolis Colts (1-1) on Sunday after watching his teammates win the Super Bowl without him in February, and missing the first two games this season."It's been a long time coming," Wentz said. "It's been quite the grind of an offseason. There's a lot of excitement, a lot of built-up almost anxiety over when it was going to be that time, and almost relief finally being cleared to get back out there."Nick Foles, the Super Bowl MVP in Philadelphia's 41-33 win over New England, returns to the sideline to make way for Wentz, who finished third in NFL MVP voting after setting a single-season franchise record with 33 touchdown passes and helping the Eagles go from 7-9 to 13-3.Wentz will wear a brace on his left knee 鈥?he tore his ACL and LCL in Week 14 diving into the end zone on a scramble. He doesn't plan to change the way he plays, but understands the importance of avoiding hits."I feel extremely confident moving around, on the run," he said. "Even last year, I never said I'm a running quarterback. I never want to be. But I'll find ways to extend time in the pocket and make plays down the field. I don't think that's ever going anywhere."Eagles coach Doug Pederson isn't going to alter his game plan or his philosophy to accommodate a quarterback returning from injury, even if it's the face of the franchise."I'm not going to coach scared. I'm not going to coach paranoid," Pederson said. "I'm not going to go in thinking, 'Oh no http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/jack-doyle-jersey , we can't do 'this,' we can't do 'that.' We just have to continue to go play and I (have) to coach that way. That's where the confidence with the team comes, by doing that."Here are some things to know about the Colts-Eagles matchup:REICH'S RETURN:Colts coach Frank Reich was Philadelphia's offensive coordinator the previous two seasons and is one of the most liked guys to come through the team's building. He has a close relationship with Pederson and texted back and forth with him this week."I am as close with Doug as I am with anybody in this profession," Reich said. "I just think the world of him. I think he's a superior coach. He's an incredible coach and an incredible person."The familiarity could give the Colts an advantage."We feel like they know us and we know them, even though we don't see each other every year," Pederson said. "I'm excited to see Frank again. But at the same time we're up on the things that he could make them aware of."FAVORITE TARGETWentz will have Jordan Matthews back in the huddle with him. Matthews was traded to Buffalo last August but signed with the Eagles this week to bolster a depleted receivers corps. He was Wentz's top target in 2016 and the two were close friends off the field."Obviously, with Jordan, I feel good with him," Wentz said. "He was gone only one season. He's picking up things pretty quickly."CAPTAIN ANDREWThe Colts got Andrew Luck back in Week 1 after playing without him for an entire season. Luck is benefiting from Reich's new offense that's designed for quick passes. His completion rate is 71.4 percent, but he does have three picks."I feel I have a lot to improve on and that's exciting," Luck said. "It makes practice fun.BURNED DEEPRyan Fitzpatrick torched Philadelphia's secondary last week in Tampa's 27-21 win, throwing for 402 yards and four TDs, including a pair of 75-yard scores. The Eagles know they have to eliminate the big plays."We were a sloppy defense in that game," defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said. "Our tackling wasn't as good as it normally is, our technique wasn't as good as it normally is. Our pursuit and things like that got a little bit sloppy at times. We need to do a better job."MISSING MANThe Eagles traded up in the second round to select tight end Dallas Goedert and expectations were high after an impressive preseason. But Goedert has only played 34 snaps and has one catch through two games. Considering the Eagles were missing two of their top three receivers last week, it's surprising Goedert wasn't part of the offense."We have a talented player in Dallas, and we need to find more ways to get him involved," offensive coordinator Mike Groh said.
