Go look them up, you lazy ****. 🤣 If you're seriously claiming that the Patriots defense isn't almost entirely Bellichick, I don't know what to tell you, you could make anybody with any level of coaches knowledge of the game DC in New England and have them make a decent stab at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia will be on the side line and communicate with the green dot and calling the plays, but are these plays given to him by Desai in the box? It doesn't sound like a demotion, more a way for him to be more effective at his job. Dan Quinn is in the box for the Cowboys, Fangio coaches from the box, if he feels like he can see the game unfold better and adjust quicker to what the offense is doing it seems like a good move. I'm in a Facebook Eagles group and someone said local reporters were saying that Desai is still the DC and will be coaching from up top Lol he also said he had inside info though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerod Mayo was getting some buzz as potential DC candidate for either the Patriots or somewhere else and then he gets passed over as play caller for Bellichicks kid and that pretty much killed that dead.

This is the optimistic view. Officially Desai remains DC. I feel like he needs to see the defense from up top in order to correct mistakes. Whatever is happening these last few games, Desai is not seeing it from the field. Pessimistically, this is a panic move. The Eagles were fleeced by the 49ers and Cowboys so something had to change. Has Desai had a chance to explain the change from the sidelines to the box? Did he request it, or did the front office force the move? That will be telling.

He's fired from DC and you can call it anything you want but that's what happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a situation where he has a good defensive mind but can't call plays so they want him with the organization just not the DC making the quick decisions.

Erie Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Early last week, Nick defiantly said there were not going to be coaching changes. This feels like Lurie and Howie leveraged this change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick came oh so close last season. That loss still stings me!! We should have had 2 Lombardi's within 5 years!! UGH. We all know who runs the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean sure things needed to change but I’m not sure Desai should be the fall guy given the offensive struggles. BJ is working with a lot lot more talent than Desai is. We only know what we see on Sundays, not what happens behind closed doors the rest of the week. For all we know, they brought in Patricia earlier in the offseason when they immediately realized the job was too big for Desai. Or maybe there were little issues throughout the season and Patricia was doing a lot to help fix them, and it finally came to a boil. Very unlikely they were 100% behind Desai a week ago or 2 weeks ago or even a month ago and spur of the moment decided to do this. Thats never been how Sirianni or Howie have operated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Desai still officially has the label of DC, you know his role is reduced. He wasn't involved in the game planing and now isn't even calling plays for this game. If the defense comes out and dominate the Seahawks then he's all but done here. Hopefully BJ has been out on notice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense is flat out embarrassing to watch the same crap happening over and over every freaking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soumak Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Look maybe they are telling the truth all along. desi is in pressbox analyzing and giving out a few plays to call for MP. MP picks from the play that Desi gives him and calls that out to the defense. could be as simple as that. whats to say that desi didn't want to do this himself after self scouting? maybe he isn't to big for his ego.

Without Slay they will both catch 8-10 balls in our porous interior D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
