Dallas Goedert: Excited about ways Kevin Patullo sees to...

Tight end Dallas Goedert is back with the Eagles after agreeing to a pay cut this offseason and he's enjoyed his first offseason playing for new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.

All of those articles prove my point. I didn't even count the second one because it was written right after he was hired. All generic "he's doing a great job, excited to have him here".

These comments are all wildly different than what is being said about this offense.

As someone who’s been sick of the drama filled seasons they’ve had the past three years, including the year they won a freaking Super Bowl, the overall vibe of the team seems great now. Obviously that’ll change if they get off to a slow start, but I could easily see this team building some serious momentum if they can string together some wins. Similar to what they did in 2024.

They all seem to be aligned and I can’t think of a personality on the team right now who would F that up. It probably could have been Carter if he didn’t get his deal, but I’m assuming he’s happy now.

Mailata and Lane made it sound like Mannion showed them how to make fire for the first time. I don’t know how much of it has to do with how great this system is versus how elementary and basic Patullo was last year.

I think it's mostly the latter. These dudes just went through a season with someone using a tecmo bowl playbook. Also, while they've had competent offenses this is the first time they aren't in a primarily shotgun offense (at least if the early practices and first TC practices are any indication).

This system might not be amazing, but I expect it to at least look like an NFL offense. Whether they can execute is another story, but they really just need to be a top 15 offense. Just be average, with this defense they just need to be not-awful. Unfortunately they couldn't accomplish that last year

I truly think that with AJ gone they might even be able to recover from a slow start (slow being like 2-3 or something, not drastic like 0-5). They had a dude who was sad boy when they won but he didn't get stats and indifferent when they lost but he got his. No one will say it to the press but I bet 90% of the room is glad he's gone

Whatever the award was for wackiest post of the day, this one wins it going away. Like Secretariat in the Preakness, exept this post is Sham.

Sham ran great in the Preakness.

I think I'll wait until I see the product on the field before I start getting my hopes up that Mannion is going to turn this team into anything other than what it was last year. What do you guys think the players are going to say publicly?

He thought he was good enough to win but lost. Again.

Mostly just you, actually

Bo is a bully and Fran is weak and follows along with it. He disrespects EJ solely because Bo does it all the time.

This is such an indictment on not just Patullo and other OCs, but Nick too. How is this not the standard operation?

I wouldn't put a lot of stock into it. Mailata said almost word for word the same thing last year about Patullo

One thing that is concerning to me is, in that Barkley/Clark golf course interview, Barkley said we are letting the big guys up front be athletes.

First, that doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me, as the eagles have searched for athletic OL during the entire Stoutland era. Jason Kelce become the celebrity he is because of his pulling ability. We have seen highlights of all of our OL blocking like 40 yards down field in the past.

Secondly- theyre old and or injured. If theyre somehow being asked to be even more athletic as their bodies are breaking I dont see that going well.

Well, so far the tackles seem to like it.

Yeah. Which means nothing. Often players are the last to realize their own limitations as they age, or slow to accept the reality that theyve lost the ability to do whats asked of them.

Its no surprise that they are excited about something new and different. And something that sounds like it is designed to let them allow their athletic gifts to shine.

We wont know anything until we actually see them do what is asked, successfully.
