Eagles' Patullo Defends Play-Calling, Says Offense Is in 'Attack Mode' After Slow Starts

Patullo says the offense enters each week in attack mode, rejecting claims it was designed to be conservative.

Overview

  • The first-year offensive coordinator denied that a cautious plan caused Philadelphia’s early-game struggles and pointed to execution and field position.
  • Philadelphia managed just 33 total yards and minus-1 passing yard in the first half against the Rams before switching gears in a 33-26 comeback.
  • Halftime adjustments produced three second-half touchdowns and 203 passing yards, with Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown featured more prominently.
  • Nick Sirianni dismissed social-media speculation that Hurts took over play-calling, affirming that Kevin Patullo remained the play-caller.
  • Patullo cited poor returns, Lane Johnson’s early exit and Matt Pryor’s difficulties, along with drops and missed throws, as factors in the sluggish start and emphasized starting faster entering Week 4 against the 3-0 Buccaneers.
