It’s showtime for Patullo. First shot at it in the bright lights..against the DC he used to coach with. Not the easiest test. He’s got a full plate right now.

Philadelphia's record in the opener under Siri

4-0... scoring 32, 38, 25 and 34 points. 3 different OCs... including Brian Johnson in the poor weather vs a Bill Belichek defense putting up 25.

At what point do we end the BS idea of trying to give the Philadelphia Hurts excuses. Patullo has been with the Hurts for 4 years. The players on the Hurts are familiar with him.

Howie calls everyone in (almost) every trade opportunity regardless of whether he is actually interested in a trade or not. It is his job to do so, and it also give the GM he is calling the opportunity to say "No" to him. Having that "No" on the record comes in handy when Howie really is interested in making a deal.

Feels fairly safe to assume there was legitimate interest for us in Micah he plays a premium spot that fits in the teams core beliefs(also an area that could be looked as a weakness for us right now). On top of Micah having interest in play for Philly.

Also makes perfect sense that Jerry had zero interest in trading Micah to us

The main question with Patullo is can he call plays some coaches just have a knack for it other don’t doesn’t make them good or bad coaches though just not good play callers

Doug Pedersen IMO... great play caller on game days.

Jihad and Baun controlling that second level of the D I can’t wait to see….such a different look for us.

Definitely a coach that had a knack for calling plays building off plays

Is Jihad even starting? Thought he was splitting with Trot…. Definitely area of the D to keep an eye on

It’s a huge step up in game day responsibilities. Not sure how you could even make so light of playcalling duties?

He is new to football...never been involved in the decision making process before. Because we know football coaches don't talk to each other...so up to this point he has had absolutely zero influence or experience working with a play callers.

Would be great if coaches actually spend an obsessive amount of time talking football....but we know that Patullo probably never had a conversation with any play callers.

Key really is just to get them in quickly. Be nice to build on plays called with counters and setups. But what proved out last season was Moore didn’t get in great playcalling…but he got it in quick. So O gets to the line to read the D. Motion. Audible.

Just get our O that….

I think he will play some off the edge in some situations as will Baun. Both of those guys offer that ability to help the pass rush and offer a formation where all 3 LBs are on the field together in a Nickel package.

Excited to see what Fangio has cooked up

The Philadelphia Hurts overcame so much last season... I have faith they will do it again.

But you make the point....Moore not really good play calling in that 34 points season opener ... so you would hsve a point in saying Patullo doesn't have a high bar to follow.

Fangio is probably the best DC the Hurts have hired.

Siri has mentioned his attempt to out score Dallas …wasn’t a good idea that matchup. But also has shown wanting to be conservative.

Did anyone see " America's game" last night? On NFL network?? Was about the 2024 Eagles.. great insight....Siri, Hurts, Barkley and Baun all were interviewed.... was a pretty good show....the insight to what goes on behind the scenes.

That's perfect for you...somebody saying two opposite things and not committing to anything this way " he called it" you must be having influence on the organization.

Yeah…it’s a Siri call and decision. Which way is he trying to steer this game?

Want us to just P the ball out of bounds. Zero return yardage.

Hopefully he continues his undefeated streak and the average of 32 plus points per game.

Despite his 4th OC. But Dallas on the other hand.. plus I know you aren't local so you have zero feel fir what the home field advantage could be here. .. but the concern should be if Dallas coach could handle things.

Interesting you go to Siri...with his record... and see him as a concern over this Dallas coach?

Cowboys OC Klayton Adams worked in Indy with Patullo and Siri

I want the crowd at the bar to be not as big and my drinks to be cold.. that's my concern tonight. Plus hopefully as many people can come out to hang with us.

The game strategy isn't my concern...not my job. Only focus on what I can control. Life works great that way.

So he understands the secret of getting 4 pro bowl OL...two pro bowl level WRs, a versatile TE, arguably the best RB in the league... along with the best football player of all time at QB?

I pretty much just believe in P out of bounds anyway. But Turpin for the cowboys is a good PR.

We have a weapon ourselves in Covey.

Gotta figure out what their O will look like

So it’s all going to be the Sony Hawkeye chain gang this year, correct?
