These “packaged run/pass plays” (with the ability to end up as either a run or pass based on the defensive look), were already on the rise in college football.

This article will analyze the development of run/pass plays with the Eagles this season and show how Chip packaged his staple plays into explosive ones.

Let’s take a look at my favorites of 2010-2011 and why….
