I'm guessing part of it was Steichen holding these guys on offense more accountable possibly as well last season he seems like a no nonsense coach
I listened to filmgrinders who know way more than me criticize the Eagles offense even last year for being so simple, saying the WRs are all running a limited amount of routes and that the passing game, in general just didn’t ask a lot of of Hurts. It was largely built on RPOs and asking stud WRs (and Goedert) to just beat their dudes. Not a lot of motion and they’re running even less motion this year. Not a lot of scheming guys open for easy looks. Just asking dudes to be dudes and win. When it works, like it did last year, it looks great. When it struggles, Sirianni hasn’t shown to have a plan b.
I will add that current Ravens DBs coach Dennard Wilson was very well-liked in the locker room and interviewed for the DC job in Philly that Desai ultimately got. Although that doesn’t explain the offensive side of the ball.
Offense just feels like what the Jags did in that they ran the exact same scheme with no evolution and it just got found out, instead of adjusting were stubborn and it bit them.
There’s a lot to the Slay and Patricia dynamic that we’ll never know, but Slay and Patricia have both said a few times this year that they’ve gotten together, hashed it out, and are all good now I don’t fully buy it, but, like I said, I’ll likely never know how much truth there is to that
Seeing Baker win a playoff game the team that dumped him for a serial rapist go one and done would be pretty fun.
