The DiCecco Daily: Takeaways From Philadelphia Eagles Season-Ending Press Conference · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome into another edition of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: check o'daly. Andrew di checo here Eagles be reporter for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: insidethebirds dot com. The Eagles held their year end press
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: conference today, but it was about one forty five where
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: head coach Dick Sirianni and executive vice president Howie Roseman
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and general manager Howie Roseman walked down the corridor of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Novacare Complex, got to the podium and shed some
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: light on a season that didn't reach expectations. It fell short.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It was an abrupt end, and they were able to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: kind of make sense of some of the pertinent topics
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that I'm sure you all want the answers to now.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: They weren't able to get super in depth when it
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: comes to the coordinator search obviously that there's that's still ongoing.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They don't have a time where they're able to divulge
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and take you behind the curtain there to give you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the answers that you want to hear there because it's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: still early on in the process. But Nick Sirianni pretty
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: much said that when moving on from Kevin Petullo, he
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was appreciative of what he did to help win and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: played a big role for five years while he was here,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: said the offense needs to evolve, and he did what
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: he felt was in the best interest of the Philadelphia
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Eagles to kind of move things forward. The door seemed
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to be kind of left open for Kevin Petula to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: return and a different type of role, and when asked
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: about that, Nick Sirianni said, we'll see what happens, said
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that he expects Kevin to have other opportunities, but he
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: wishes the best for Kevin and his family, and so
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we'll see how that all goes. For me, the optics
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: make it very tricky for that to actually work, to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: bring him back in a reduced role after he was
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: just the offensive coordinator. I think Kevin Patula would have
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: other opportunities, whether that's being a senior advisor consultant for
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: someone like Kellen Moore, who he was very during his
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: time with the Eagles, or maybe a Shane Stike. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I still think that there will be better opportunities for Patulo.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But Nick Sirianni spoke about that, and then when asked
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: about the criteria that he's looking for, you know, he
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was kind of ague, but basically, someone who's going to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: help this team move forward and evolve this offense. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of enticing names out there, but he
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't even willing to. You really can't expand on that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: As far as a coach bringing in their staff, would
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that be something that's welcomed. Is that something that's in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the cars. Nick's pretty much said that it's way too
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: early for that without having knowing who the coordinator is,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: who their guys are, what they want to do, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: then all that, so that there's still a lot to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: be determined there as far as Jalen Hurts and his
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: willingness to accept a new challenge that comes with having
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a new coordinator. He pointed to this season where Jalen
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: has had to go under center more than they ever
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have and whether he's had to adjust in game to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: throwing a bunch, running a bunch, He's doing different things,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: not running as much during the regular season. I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that was more of an organizational decision to get him
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs and keep him healthy because the past
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: number of December so he's been really backed up. Whether
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it was I think it was the ankle in twenty
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: twenty one, then it was the shoulder in twenty two,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the finger in twenty three. I think it was the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: knee in twenty twenty four, and he entered this postseason
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: without any issues. But Nick Sirianni gave an elaborate answer
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: as to sort of providing examples as to how Jalen
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: has broadened his horizons and showed a willingness to get
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: outside his comfort zone, if you will, And those are
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: some of the examples that they've done some things with
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: play action. They've used the middle of the feel not
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: as much as you'd like to see. But I also
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: thought that Jalen was more willing this season to throw
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the football at the tight windows. I thought he did
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a better job against the blitz, things that maybe he
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: struggled with earlier in his career. I thought that he
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: showed an ability to kind of advance his game, incremental
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: as it may be. And now it's up to the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: next coordinator to head that in the right direction. Howie
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Roseman when asked about the prospects of bringing in sort
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of a fast rising coach or someone who's a hot
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: commodity that could only be here for a year potentially
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and seek a head coaching job, or go for someone
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: who's more along the lines of Vic Vangiel stabilizing veteran
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: coach who you don't necessarily have to worry about and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: would represent a little bit more continuity. And Howie Roseman
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: pretty much said it's sort of a compliment when you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: have a coach that's able to be to get a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: head coaching job that they've earned, and that's sort of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the price of the price you pay when you have success.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And they were very adamant, both Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that they're trying to win now and that is their
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: primary objective. And if that means that a coach is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: always here for a year and they move on, if
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that's the best candidate, that's who the Eagles are going
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to a point into that role. And so I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that's really important to keep an eye on or bear
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: in mind when you're looking at these coaches. It may
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: not be someone like a Greg Roman who's fifty three
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: years old and may want to just stay in that role.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It may be someone who is going to be a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: hot commodity and could leave after one successful season like
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore did, or after two seasons like Shane Steiken
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: did after he had that one really good season in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, but that's where the Eagles are almost
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: victims of their own success. And I thought it was
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: interesting that Howie Roseman offered that quote that it's not
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: going to alter the way that they think. If that's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the best candidate, then that's the best candidate. And if
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they earn a head coaching role, so be it. They said,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll kind of we'll deal with it. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: then lastly, Aj Brown, the topic of Aj Brown was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: brought up, and look, Howie Roseman and not Howie Roseman. Well, yes,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni, and AJ Brown, They've all really
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: been clear this year whenever I asked that, yes, AJ's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: wanted here. Yes, Aj is a great teammate and does
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: some great things. He's a special player. AJ Brown, Yes,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia is my home. This is where I want to be.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But there's also been times this season where there's been
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: moments of frustration, whether it be on social media or
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: whether it be on you know, frustrating posts about the offense.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And it's no secret that Aj isn't necessarily happy with
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the offense because it's not a high volume passing attack.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: There's a lacks for rhythm. He also vocalized the need
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: for the offense to have more urgency and more consistency
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: because the special team to the defense was carrying the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Eagles for the early part of the season and really,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: for being honest, most of the season. And so we
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: haven't talked to aj since December eighth, when the Eagles
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: played the Chargers at SOFI Stadium. Talked to him in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the visitors' locker room, and that's the last we heard
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: from him. So I'm not about to sit here and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: assume or guess what he's thinking or anything like that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But the questions surrounding his future are fair when you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: look at how the season ended, all the different things
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that happened from December eighth. At this point right now,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he didn't play well in the postseason. Maybe just maybe
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a change of scenery will serve him well. But then again,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: this conversation could be all or not depending on who
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they get as the coordinator, because if they get a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: coordinator who has sort of advanced level pass concepts or
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is going to head the offense in a certain direction,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: well he could intrigue someone like AJ Brown. Heck, part
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: of the deciding fact or for a coortator coming to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia could be having someone like Devonte Smith and aj
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Brown because they know that they can build the passing
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: attack around both of those players. So just some of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: my thoughts here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's that time of the year that everyone's trying
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to clean up their habits and that includes me. Honestly,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: having one less drink is never felt easier. Instead of
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: pouring a cocktail, I just reach for Souls out of
• 8:24

• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but his contract is up and he was getting a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: look there with the Buccaneers. He's a coach that if
