We have concerns about the run game, but I do think we'll see better utilization of the RB in the screen and passing game.

And AJ Brown and Smitty have had back to back 1,000 yard seasons each even this year with BJ. They're about to EAT next season, along with Goedert. The passing game should be much improved and hopefully will dominate as they should the way they are built.

You know who I always thought would probably make a decent WR coach?  Jason Avant.  

That's an option. Darren Sproles for RB coach

I remember Kellen Moore coming out of Boise St. He was a very cerebral QB who put that program on the map while he was there.

Wonder if we'll still see a change at CB coach (since it is being reported they are interested in Kasper specifically as a safeties coach).  Also being reported (by Gowton) that Miami does not have to grant permission to interview Kasper (does that mean they are free to interview him ... no permission needed ... or that they can block us from interviewing him?).

Miami can block any lateral move.  Only coach moves that can't be blocked (assuming contract) is HC obviously and a coordinator position where you are given more responsibilities than current job like play calling

He’s actually working as a scout in the Eagles personnel department.

With Kingsbury out at Raiders he's some coaching gossip.  Would like to see Eagles give Pep Hamilton a look at QB coach if Nussmeier isn't the guy

I really like the new OC and DC hirings. 

BJ had never called plays before, and Desai had only a couple of years of DC experience, if I recall correctly.

So, to get new but experienced Coordinators, I think is a good thing. Obviously, we shall see. And man oh man, does the Eagles D need some personnel work done.

1 year as a DC previously … 2021 with the Bears

Which obviously means Moore is a done deal even tho no announcement. I do wonder if any more O coaches will be changed

[LacesOut]

I like this hire as well.

[ThinkGreen]

A former Cowboys coach? What could possibly go wrong? I guess when you finish behind Dallas for the first time in years, perspectives get skewed.

They will let him test the market and once he realizes no one will pay him top money he will resign at least for one more year

Looks like the Eagles came to their senses about hiring proven/experienced coordinators. This years team is going to be MUCH better. The 1st things we will notice is they can actually TACKLE, and also the motion pre-snap on offense that actually helps people get open. Really good hires all around.

I'm cautiously optimistic.  On paper these all look like good hires - Fangio worked with both Hurtt and Kasper previously ...ditto Moore with Nussmeier.  These new coordinators now have coaches that know their systems ... that should be a huge help with getting the players to better learn their assignments.  Also since both Moore and Nussmeier were QBs and both coached QBs (Nussmeier since 2001 so he has loads of experience in that role), that should be a huge help in getting Hurts back on track (obviously that is critical). But we all said the defense couldn't possibly get any worse after Gannon left and here we are.  So while I expect things to be better I know can't count on it and am in wait and see mode.

Yeah, I am trying to give myself hope here, so I can say something positive about the team/org. 🤣
