Personally i think Kyle should take advantage of Purdy's tendency to scramble left with the drill to enhance his offense with Purdy. In a sense, that bobbled pass to Kittle was the kind of scramble drill I'm talking about. Kittle wasn't even supposed to run a route, but he saw his QB in trouble and found a zone for Purdy to throw to him.
Those Purdy tendencies to bug out and drift left, I think, is a good opportunity for the WRs to adjust their routes via a scramble drill, and possibly break a big one against the defense like Kittles bobbled catch did in the Dallas game.
Well, if Eagles think Brock has a tendency to scramble left, this would be a good week to work on having him scramble right. Screw Eagles up a bit. But big plus would be that when Brock is being chased around in the backfield, if he is moving Right, he can just uncork one while running. In the situations where he was scrambling Left, it is really hard ,sometimes impossible to stop, turn around and let one fly. Brock threw one into the Left sideline but it was awkward. Had he been running Right, it would have been an easy throw.
We'll see if Kyle works on having Brock scramble right on Sunday. I hope so. A couple times he got where he had to corkscrew himself around to chuck the ball. Running right, that just doesn't happen. My guess is he scrambles Left when the play is designed to go that way, nothing more complicated than that.
Agree that It is harder as a right hander to set up and throw if he's scrambling left. As others have said, defenses are forcing him to scramble left, either by a blitz or slanting the DLine rush, or stunts. I just think Kyle should take advantage of that and use his scrambling (right or left) to Purdy's advantage in those scenarios. I.e. moving pockets to the left and a screen to the right. The scramble drill is another way to take advantage of those defensive schemes.
