The DiCecco Daily: What's Next After Kevin Patullo Firing? · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome into another edition of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Checko Daily. It's Andrew Dichecko here, Eagles be reporter
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: from inside the birds dot Com.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Forewarning apologies if you hear.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Any background noise. I am driving recording this and I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk a little bit about the Eagles offensive
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: coordinator spot on.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I guess it's Tuesday.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: The Eagles have announced that they've moved on from Kevin
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Batulo as the offensive coordinator. Nick Sirianni put out a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: statement that the Eagles put out on their social media
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and so this was something we all expected, not a surprise.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: But let's take a look at the offense this season.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about it and then maybe where
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the Eagles go from here, because you look at this
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: offense to see it did not meet expectations. It looked
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: too often, too many weeks, like the offense had a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: labor its way down the field. Even look at Patullo
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: with the sequence saying and just the lack of a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: rhythm from the offense.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: There wasn't much creativity there.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And I do maintain that his players first, right When
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: when players win, When when the team wins, players get
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the credit.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: They also when they lose players first.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But I've always believed that and I think when you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: look at.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Kevin Bittullo, it's the low hanging fruit. I understand that
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: his name is.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Sort of been a lightning rod around the Delawer Valley
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and beyond uh this season, he was appointed him as
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: OC in the first time play call, where there was
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of skepticism as to whether or not he'd
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be able to step in, and I look, it was
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it was a struggle of this season, but I maintained
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that it was a collective right, there's Stemmers, one person,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and that's a sentiment that I got throughout the season
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hearing from different players. There was a lot of ownership,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of accountability that were at execution was something
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that was mentioned had Nausey. There's plays to be made
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on the field that weren't made at different times this season. Heck,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: there were a couple of plays in that forty nine
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Ers game that weren't made that alters the course of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that game and we're probably having a different conversation, we're
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: not having this one at least, And so yes, something
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: had to happen, There had to be a change there
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they couldn't run it back.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And now the question becomes where the Eagles go from here?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But I think a larger question that we should all
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be asking and wondering is will they change their philosophical
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: approach because I got to tell you listening to Saquon
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: bark where Devonte Smith after the game, they straight up said,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you know, sa Kwon Barkley said he didn't believe that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: they were conservative against the forty nine ers and.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Said, yeah, new coordinator, new.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Coaches, but he said it was pretty much the same
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: script as last season. De Monte Smith the same thing.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And so you look at this offense, what was the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: big difference? Well, they didn't have a running game to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: hang their hat on. And we know that philosophically, that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what the Eagles want to do. They want to protect
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the football at all costs, run the football, play a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: bulletball style of offense, and have the quarterback be sort
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of a game manager of source. And I understand that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: when you hear game manager that has negative connotation at times,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to you know, make calculate decisions,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: throw the deep ball, catch a defense when they're napping
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: or when the opportunity presents itself and really play that style.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So will the new offensive coordinator have to abide by
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: those same guidelines or will they have full autonomy to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: run their offense. And if they run their offense, what
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: will it look like? And how will they be able
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to mesh with the quarterback? And how will that gibe
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: with Nick Sirianni, who we know that he wants to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: play a certain style.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: He's made that very clear.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: There are certain elements to the offense that has been
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: largely absent over the last five years. Lack of the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: middle of the field, throws, a lot of throws outside
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the numbers, not checking down their running backs.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Right, there's not a lot of razzle dazzle. There's not
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of that motion.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You don't see half of not even a fraction of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: what you saw the forty nine ers be able to do.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: If a new.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator comes in and he has the advised by
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: those same type of principles, will that work or will
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the Eagles revert back to the same philosophy that they've
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: had for the past few seasons.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Hey, it's that time of the year that everyone's trying
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: to clean up their habits, and that includes me. Honestly,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: having one less drinks never felt easier. Instead of pouring

  Speaker 6: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: one and up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It's a fair question to ask, right, I mean, look
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: what Kellen Moore's offense looked like before he got to Philadelphia,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and after Philadelphia.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: What it looked like with the Chargers.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They brought him in, fresh ideas, new concepts, and there
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: was all this talk about motion and how that was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: going to change the game for the Eagles, and they
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: did a little bit of it, but it wasn't anywhere
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: close to the offenses that Kellen Moore had in the past.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: What's the difference. They had a dynamic rushing attack.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: They didn't put a spotlight on some of the shortcomings
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: offensively that you saw across the board this year for
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: So that's one of the big questions that I have.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And for Kevin Patulo, we'll see what the future holds
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for him. Great guy, obviously, he is a sharp guy.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You don't coach as long as he has been around
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the different mind Shan Gaily and all those guys and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: not pick things up. He's a smart guy and he's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: respected in that building. I can tell you that it
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: didn't work out. Something had to be done, and the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Eagles will now turn to another offensive coordinator. And that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: means that for those that are in the continuity camp
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and concerned about that. Well, Jalen Hurts is going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: have to learn a new offensive coordinator once again. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: believe this will be his seventh in the NFL, So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that's something that Look, it's going to require some patience.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to understand that if you're bringing in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a new OC, you might start out a little bit
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like they did under Kellen Moore.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It takes time to for the players to learn the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: coordinator and get comfortable.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: With his philosophy and burbage and all those things, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it also takes time for everything.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: To kind of take shape.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The players need to learn the coordinator, the coordinator needs
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to learn his personnel, and sometimes you're feeling things out
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and we saw that, you know, play out in real
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: time with Kellen Moore when he was here. If you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and I think revisionist history is kind of amusing sometimes,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore was heavily scrutinized for the first four weeks
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of the season when the offense wasn't performing the standard.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Now that should all be baked in, and I think
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you look around at some of the different coordinators out there,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: there are some enticing options.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Right, you have Todd Munkin, you have Mike McDaniel and Nathan.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Shieldhouse, who the Eagles looked at in twenty twenty three.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I believe you know there are some names out there,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but it's gonna have to be the perfect marriage. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if this new play car will
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in fact have full autonomy. And in that case, you're
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: going to see different looks and you will get the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: offense that you've all been hoping for. But I always
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: say be careful what you wish for, because that continuity
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: piece is real, and it's there are growing pains that
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: should be expected across the board. I do think that
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt should have a say in who the chordator
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: will be. He's the quarterback after all, and the offense
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: runs through him. He touched the ball in every play,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a lot at play here and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of things to consider. But just a quick update,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the Eagles have moved on from Kevin Patula's offensive coordinator
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and we'll see where they go from here, but for now,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this edition of The
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: check O Daily. I'm Andrew Decheco, and I will catch
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you all on the next one.
