It is 100% a weird dynamic. Why not just tell fangio he’s a co-head? Fangio on defense. Sirianni for the game managing and players. Then another for strictly play calling and offense. Fangio show more than any of the coaches on the staff besides maybe stoutland. What’s stopping them for making them have three co-head coaches in your scenario? Feels like a slight to fangio who’s basically that de facto HC of the defense. I doubt he’s type of person who’d care but seems like you are slighting him with his work

you seem to think Nick Sirianni is going to take a demotion of being called co-head coach. That’s 100% a demotion in his title. Furthermore don’t believe for a second he had absolutely no involvement with the offense in 2024. And that the other co-head coach, knowing that he got essentially demoted in title then why should he listen to sirianni or collaborate with him when he might be gone sooner rather than later if he screws that up. Then i didn’t even mentions human beings egos involved in this.

Furthermore, if I was that co-coach, I know if I do a good job of what my responsibilities are then another team’s gonna come try to pull me away for a full-time head coaching job. that’s a promotion and likely more money. So I can angle that as well if you guys don’t give me the full-time head coach title and remove Nick Sirianni, I’m going there. So now you created a potential dynamic it’s either me or Nick at some point in time. So he gets full HC or you are going to have to find another co-head coach. So the co-head coach didn’t actually solve the issue of the carousel of the guy leaving calling the plays and running the offense

Most coaches if they get the chance to be a full-time head coach, which is a promotion from co-head coach, are leaving. Im also guessing nfl isn’t going to allow you from blocking him from interviewing cause he’s considered a co-head coach. They aren’t going to allow you to argue tampering cause you have 2 co-head coaches

Agree to disagree.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Hurts was beyond bad. Baldy doesn't mince words. His breakdowns are always worth watching. The thing is in everyone of those plays Hurts had all the time in the world to throw.

It's time for McKee.

They've had designed runs by Hurts and they haven't even worked that well. I don't remember many people saying we needed to have more Hurts designed runs until they heard he might not want them so they could use it as a reason to hate on him more.

I just wanted to point out a few things that seem to be flying under the radar for the most part since there are several other issues that are far greater:

-Reed Blankenship has had his worst season with the Eagles BY FAR. He got caught looking in the backfield big time on the fake that led to the TD pass to Cole Kmet. Both his coverage and tackling has been below average this season.

-Jalen Carter has NOT been the dominant force he was last season, period point blank.

-Nolan Smith has been a MASSIVE disappointment this year. Even beyond the injury he hasn't done much of anything when he has played

-Dallas Goedert isn't the blocker he was in the past. GC gets a lot of crap for being a horrible blocker and rightfully so but Goedert hasn't been blocking to the level he has in previous season.

-Hurts has regressed from an accuracy standpoint just over the last couple of weeks and Saquon isn't the same player. These things have both been discussed but it can't be overstated.

-Brown has smiled more and been far more happy the last two games having gotten the ball way more and the team losing, than he was in prior weeks when they won and he wasn't a big part of the offense.

When SEVERAL players have regressed, penalties are way up, the team is more dysfunctional, AND you add in the obvious problems with play calling and game planning for the offense you have to realize that while the players are responsible as well this is clearly a very poorly coached team and that is by far and away the main issue.

Nolan Smith just had a sack last game - or setup JC's sack....one or the other.

They definitely don't need more, dude is reckless and stupid when he runs, still to this day. Fix the placalling and thay solves 1/2 the issue, if hurts gets his head out of his ass starts throwing the ball accurately that's the other half

I brought up last week. He was on pace to rush less and he was gonna be on a lowest rushing attempts for the season after the Dallas game. it wasn’t by some small amount. It was by a good 30 to 40 rushes. some of those seasons where it would only be like 30 to 40 was because he didn’t finish the season and he missed a couple weeks.

I would argue they’ve had some that haven’t worked and they’ve also had some that have worked. I remember against the Packers and the Lions where i stated during the game they’ve returned to Brian Johnson mode where they did a QB draw. It actually worked the times they did it.

Imo I think defenses dont believe he’s going to run much anymore (numbers back it up) so they are far less worried about him doing it.

I don't want to hear "it doesn't matter how I play as long as we win" anymore

Of course has less runs. We have far less PLAYS

I believe there's a happy medium out there. I was one that didn't like him running so much last season because I didn't want him risk getting injured

He also missed 2-3 games during some of those seasons. So that factors into the other seasons besides 2023. 

Eagles on pace for about 1000 plays (not good. Like you said less plays total). Those previous seasons from 2021-2024 was around 1075-1124 depending on year. 2021 the lowest and 2022 the highest. Outside of 2023 he missed multiple games or left games and then missed other games. So he’s on pace to play more snaps in 2025 (assuming he stays healthy) than 2024 and 2021 and close to the same in 2022.

Found the total snap counts for hurts. In 2024 he played (without playoffs) 934 snaps. In 2023 without playoffs he played 1103 snaps. In 2022 he played (without playoffs) 1028 snaps. In 2021 without playoffs 954. If hurts stays healthy (also assuming football guys has accurate snap counts) he’s roughly in the same vicinity of 2021, 2022 and 2024. 2023 he didn’t miss time which coincidentally is his lowest rushing attempts per game before this year.

Perfect example of one of at least seven things that can be changed to make the O better. And THEY KNOW IT because they reduced Calc's snaps from 40 to like 15 a game ago, right? And WE KNOW they have other options. Use the 6th man. Use Latu.

And yet, they keep a guy on the field that they don't throw to and can't block in line. At all. Crazy ish.

So yeah, really bad coaching. Really bad.

I’m not sure Latu is any better in line…he’s the defacto FB.

Being an Eagles and a Sooner fan is not a good combo...

Iowa scored 40 yesterday, so the Eagles should’ve scored negative points.

BOOMER SOONER!!!

PLAYOFF BOUND!

Couldn’t care less about CJGJ. He’s obviously a cancer.

Eh i think some of the injury things with the oline is overstated. Mailata is healthy and just regressed this year. Steen has been relatively healthy and he’s just Ok. Jurgens and Dickerson have been banged up, but even in thee absence the running game has looked unspectacular outside of a game against the giants. Fred Johnson is not great but he’s serviceable at RT with lane. Imo their pass blocking isn’t an issue for the most part. It’s run blocking.

No offense to lane, i love him but at 35 years old probably shouldn’t be banking on him to just stay healthy for 17 weeks. Pryor was never the answer. Pretty sure over last couple years he’s been better at guard than tackle. People are gonna hate that I say this but I felt this way at the draft too even with loving Campbell, the Eagles really should’ve been buying into the trenches philosophy and moving up to get Simmons and not Campbell. Simmons would’ve been a top 10 pick if he didn’t get hurt that year. He could also play guard. Simmons has looked good when he’s played albeit he’s not out for a while with a wrist injury. this isn’t I’m upset with Campbell. I do think he’ll be a good player. i tend to think Campbell was drafted due to the knowledge Dean was out and likely gone at end of 2025 and likely baun is gone after 2027. However i think assuming lane at 35 wasn’t eventually going to break down and just play 17 games was more dire situation then eagles anticipated.

100% agree with this. Once Simmons kept falling, that's who I was hoping they'd take. It was both the best player and the best value.

I think Mukuba is Nate Allen 2.0 or, at best, Quinten Mikell. Nate Allen started early in his career and was "fine.” Then he just didn’t progress into much of an asset. Mukuba is fine. His upside is a safety that everyone feels fine about in the defensive backfield but not someone that anyone is attached to or a playmaker. Mukuba is far smaller and a much worse tackler than those two, but seems to move better and be more fluid in coverage. He had a couple INTs on balls that went right to him, has proven to be better than Sidney Brown, and has had some big breakdowns in pass coverage and tackling. That’s all fine for a rookie, but I’m not seeing anything special.

Campbell is going to be a really good LB. It’s questionable resource allocation considering we spend a 3rd round pick mid season for the best edge on the team and we already have big money invested in Baun. I don’t think anyone is ever going to be satisfied knowing we spent a 1st round pick on the 2nd best off ball LB on the team (long term, this year he’s 3rd best). But he’s going to be a good player in this defense for a long time. Just nothing special or foundational.

Not every draft can be 2024. That won them a SB. But I don’t think 2025 is going to be the reason they win any SBs.

If Mukuba is Mikell that’s an absolute home run…2 time 2nd team all pro and 1 pro bowl appearance?
