Not a great offseason for Receivers. 😄

How fast are peeps gonna turn on AJ when times get rough in New England? If he thinks the pressure was high last year to repeat, it will be just as bad in New England this year. Kinda think this will be a short honeymoon period. Don't think this story will fade any time soon. Vrabel & AJ will make for some good drama this year and certainly be the butt of many jokes on social media. I'm here for it! 🍿

I was told in here that AJ Brown was popular in the locker room. 😅 Can see more of this trend of him being bashed over the next few weeks. Think the locker room was over this diva. T

Just quoting to make it easier to find after the season

Do I get to quote this every time AJ sends some passive aggressive tweet or decides to get manhandled by some mid level CB for a couple games?

Patullo was a big part of the problem but not all of it. The Eagles did not execute well last year. Hurts has preferences as a QB that became more ingrained as limitations last season. He also stopped running the ball and there were very few QB designed runs. I think the injuries to the O-line played a big part of the problem. I also think Sirianni's risk averse approach to turnovers made them to conservative. It's also not like they won the Super Bowl with a super efficient and effective passing offense in 2024. The Eagles were 2-2 heading into the bye week. They only just eked out a win in NO. They could have easily been 1-3. After the bye, the shift was to being a running team. They had 6 games of more than 200 yards rushing and 6 of more than 200 yards passing after the bye in 2024. They had one game of over 300 yards passing and one game of over 300 yards rushing. They had 2 games of less than 100 yards passing and the only one where they had less than a 100 yards rushing was the last game of the regular season where the starters did not play. The team was not an offensive juggernaut in 2024 in the passing game that became suddenly worse. They were unstoppable in the run game in 2024. When the offense could not run the ball effectively in 2025, the passing attack was not enough to make the offense successful. I agree that Patullo and Sirianni could not fix the offense from a scheme perspective. I disagree that it was entirely on them. Hurts did not have a good season.

I suspect Nick isn’t solely responsible for the conservative approach. I think some of that must fall in Howie’s lap because he is responsible for the analytics team. Absolutely, the metrics support the fact that throwing shorter routes over the middle leads to more turnovers. Hurts shares some of the blame because he doesn’t process as fast as some other QBs and, of course, we have the three turnover game. But part of that lays with Nick too because he has consistently had delay in having the play in. I believe he slows down what the OC presents needing Nick’s input.

I think Jeff, Howie and he sat down for performance review and he was told, "your offense is stale and has become predictable”. I strongly suspect he responded to Howie that part of that lies with over reliance on analytics. I suspect the changes in the offense were jointly agreed with at that time and Patullo (who I was railing against when he was pass coordinator) had to go. I think they sat down with Hurts during the end of the year review and had a frank discussion that his reluctance in some areas had to change. He may have offered feedback on how long it took for plays to come in and needing to understand the why. (Not only does he have a new OC every year, he also has a new QB coach. I think that is why we see bits about Mannion explaining the "why”. When Hurts understands the "why”, he thrives. That is why Mannion was hired.

I believe the Brotherly Shove was overused in 2024 and that wore down Hurts and the OL. Saquon was worn down too. The passing game struggled with the handcuffs and frankly awful sequencing.

Hurts understands that like AJ, he is coming on a contractual crossroads decision. He’s had some good coaches (Saban, kind of because his real genius is D), but on offense, Streichen, Riley, Moore, and some poor ones. I really think Mannion is going to give us some Riley type section approaches (like Mike Leach’s) where when he looks right he sees multiple players, middle, left same sort of thing.

I am not sure Nick didn’t embrace his new parameters. He seems willing. But I suspect that they did remind him of what the nicest coach I ever met said

He deactivated his account months ago so go ahead with that logic

Former NFL QB calls out Eagles’ Jalen Hurts after AJ Brown trade

"“[Hurts] has got to learn how to play quarterback in a completely different way,” Orlovsky said on the "Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday. “… It’s been (shotgun) and RPO. Now he’s going to have a much more wordier offense, break the huddle, and go under center. It’s just very different. “… You have to play on time in this offense, and your feet tell you when and where to throw the football. That just takes a while to master. I’m not betting against him, it’s just going to be very different for him. Totally different, completely different experience.”

Why do people think he's going to be able to master any of this? I'm genuinely curious.

Well, hopefully he doesn't walk out of the back of his own end zone like Orlovsky did.

Jordan Mailata on differences in the new offense: it's bloody beautiful

• we have answers to a lot of the things in the run game now

• we've cleared up the confusion on who's blocking who

• pass game for O line a lot simpler

• adding in deception, motion, responsibilities for receivers in the run game

Yesterday he said Mannion is an evil genius, the smartest person in the building. Now he's saying he's providing answers and clearing up confusion.

Mailata is going to Beast in outside zone.
