The Philadelphia Eagles aren't simply looking to execute their offense better. That would only be a temporary fix. They're also examining whether parts of the system need to change as they attempt to stop a three-game losing streak.
Head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the media on Monday and dove into the offensive evaluation process. He said the coaching staff is reviewing what has worked, what hasn't, and how Philadelphia can better position its available personnel to succeed. His comments suggest the team is open to adjusting its approach rather than relying exclusively on improved execution.
“Obviously, today is about reflecting on what happened yesterday (Sunday), and today is about the growth of that. Later in the day, it will be a little
bit more on our next game, what we want to do, how we’re going to do it, what we do well, what this opponent’s doing. That’s kind of how this day will go... It’s never just one thing. There’re always multiple things when it’s not going the right way and not the way you want it to go... We all have things that we have to get better at. We all have things that we’re looking to grow upon each and every week.
Nick Sirianni leaves the door open to removing plays
Sirianni specifically acknowledged that improving the offense could mean taking certain concepts out of the playbook or continuing to work on problems the staff believes it can fix. He did not identify any particular plays or formations under consideration, but the distinction matters as Philadelphia tries to find greater consistency.
The Eagles have struggled to generate offense during their three consecutive defeats, includingSunday's 19-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Injuries (and a retirement announcement) have forced significant lineup changes, leaving offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with a shifting collection of personnel as he works to establish the system.
Sirianni rejected using those absences as an excuse, emphasizing the need to find solutions regardless of who is available. He acknowledged the offense hasn't performed well enough and said the staff's work begins with reviewing the previous game before preparing for the next opponent.
That evaluation could lead to adjustments in how Philadelphia uses its personnel, although Sirianni's comments do not signal a major schematic overhaul. For now, the coaching staff is focused on identifying which elements deserve more attention and which may need to be eliminated.
The timing matters for an Eagles team at 2-3 entering Week 6. Philadelphia cannot afford to spend the rest of the season searching for an offensive identity, and the staff's willingness to question its own approach could become an important part of the recovery process.
Whether those evaluations translate into tangible changes remains to be seen. Sirianni has outlined the questions the coaching staff is asking; the next step is finding answers that show up on the field.
