What kind of tweaks do you think we might see to the offense with Foles at QB now?

1) At 6'6'' he'll be able to find Tavon much easier over the middle on drags and posts. I do thing this was an issue the last two years. Tavon's never gonna be great not-getting-pushed-around- going across the middle but they'll be slightly more opportunities for it.

2) Will we see more shotgun play-action passing? Haven't seen much film on the guy turning his back towards a defense.
 
simplicity. I'm want more play action and quick huddle. we have every bit the offensive weapons he had in philly his pro bowl year. so if they're smart they incorporate some of what he did there
 
Well he is mobile and is not afraid to run, so maybe some read option. We ran one read option play with Clemens at Qb.
 
Yeah he can move around in the pocket pretty good and get out and run when he has too. Throws pretty well on the run when hes rolling out to his right.
 
He's "mobile" enough, that and Weinke has worked with mobile qbs recently which helps.

I wouldn't say he's a dual threat, but he's definitely mobile imo. Surprisingly so considering his frame.

Somewhat agree. He's not a statue, and can move around the pocket.

When someone says mobile QB, I think pocket mobility and scrambling ability. But he's a much better QB when he can be a statue because his mechanics seem to go downhill when he has to move.

If Foles is scrambling, something is going wrong.

Without even thinking of Foles, all I want is for Fisher, Cignetti and Wieke to figure out ways to score more.... period.

Please... if we can get to ~21 points per game, we should be a really good team.

This is, of course, assuming the defense comes out strong and the offense also clicks out of the gate.

Simply cannot have a repeat of last year... on either side of the ball.

I need to see Foles in action before I form an Opinion, what I hear sounds good But I haven't watched him much! YET!!!!
 
He ran the ball 57 times in 2013, tenth in qb attemps for that year. He can be a running weapon. I'm not saying it should be a focus, but an option.
 
I don't think we want to see him using his legs much. Keep in mind, Sam was actually pretty nifty on his feet when he used them. How'd that work out? I agree that the height should help him in the pocket and I think he is smart enough to get out of trouble here and there. Now that he is a Ram, I just hope he gets some good help on his mechanics and turns out to be a total stud.

This wasn't even the biggest issue in my opinion. We win at least 3 more games if we took care of the ball better. Just cut down on INT's.
 
Foles actually runs the ball pretty well when the play breaks down. Seems to keep his eyes downfield. When he runs, he gets the available yards and gets down. But he is surprisingly quick and shifty for a tall guy.
