Overview
- The Eagles replaced Kevin Patullo this offseason and brought in Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator to reverse a slide that ended with a Wild Card loss.
- Multiple starters in training camp praised Mannion's teaching and detail, with Jordan Mailata calling him an "evil genius" and Dallas Goedert noting the offense feels more fun and faster.
- Coaches are installing a wide-zone, play-action approach that stresses tempo, creates cutback lanes for runners and builds designed ways to get DeVonta Smith more touches.
- The scheme also intends to put Jalen Hurts in clearer passing windows and to use his rushing ability more, though those outcomes depend on in-game play calling.
- Mannion comes from the Green Bay Packers' quarterback coaching staff and has limited NFL play-calling experience, so the preseason and early regular season will be the decisive tests of the new system's effectiveness.
