It appears the Eagles' coaching staff is still grappling with questions about last season, particularly regarding play calling. In a year that saw significant roster turnover and high expectations for their offense, the teamβs inability to find a consistent rhythm led to disappointing results.
Nick Sirianni acknowledged playing a larger role in adjusting the offense as the season progressed, while stressing his intent to maintain control of overall strategy. The head coach emphasized collaboration over individual ownership, however, when questioned about how his involvement would affect the upcoming coordinator hire.
One interesting point made by Coach was that his involvement with play calling is not an indication of any desire to relinquish leadership in favor of a new coordinator but rather a natural progression for a team that aims to find consistency. His approach will likely continue this season.
Howie Roseman echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the organization's focus on winning above all else and deflection of speculation surrounding staff retention decisions. The general manager also underscored the importance of holding onto key talent while also addressing needs through free agency and the draft.
Lane Johnson, a Hall of Fame tackle, was mentioned as someone whose departure might be imminent given his age and market value. However, Roseman's assessment suggests that any potential departures are handled with care.
On the matter of A.J. Brown, who had a breakout year last season, it appears the team is keen on retaining him but will do so at a cost. The coaching staff seems determined to keep key players while making necessary adjustments through free agency and the draft.
As the Eagles prepare for another high-stakes season, they face challenges in balancing their defense's growing investment with the increasing costs associated with their offense.
