After the Philadelphia Eagles clinched victory at Super Bowl LIX, you might think they’d stick with their winning formula for the upcoming season. But with some changes brewing, it seems they’re gearing up to evolve even more.
Kellen Moore has departed to take up the head coaching position with the New Orleans Saints, paving the way for Kevin Patullo to step in as the Eagles’ new offensive coordinator. Patullo, who has been shaping the passing game since 2021, is ready to bring fresh ideas and energy to the team.
A.J. Brown, the Eagles’ standout wide receiver, believes that simply maintaining the status quo won’t cut it. He’s been vocal about the necessity for change, urging the team to keep pushing boundaries.
“For our fans, they need to understand everything has to change,” Brown shared with NFL Network. “I know we just won, but it has to change. We have to get better, and we have to do things differently.”
Philadelphia’s offense has thrived with a strong emphasis on the run over the past few seasons, premiering Saquon Barkley’s exceptional skills. Barkley dominated this season, amassing 2,005 rushing yards and scoring 13 touchdowns, earning him the coveted NFL Offensive Player of the Year award.
However, the Eagles boast an impressive duo at wide receiver with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Despite missing some action, Brown still managed to haul in 67 passes for 1,079 yards and found the end zone seven times. Smith also made significant contributions, with 68 receptions, 833 yards, and eight touchdowns in 13 games.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been making strides in his passing game, leading to speculation that the Eagles might pivot to more aerial tactics next season. Could this be part of the changes A.J. Brown is hinting at?
As we look forward to what’s next, it’s clear the Eagles are intent on not just defending their title but also redefining themselves on the gridiron.
