Are you curious why the Eagles drafted a second tight end, Dallas Goedert, when they already have Pro Bowler and Super Bowl-winner Zach Ertz on the roster? Look no further than The Athletic, where I penned an article recently that examined the Eagles' use of multiple tight end sets last year. The numbers surprised me, especially what emerged about the Eagles in the red zone, in the playoffs, and specifically the effectiveness of Ertz and Trey Burton in the same formation. Make sure to subscribe to The Athletic Philly (hat tip to the inimitable Sheil Kapadia for asking me to contribute) and check it out:
