The Eagles may have qualified for the playoffs, but the team is on a slide, losing three in a row.
Head coach Nick Sirianni has made a crucial change in defense replacing DC Sean Desai with Matt Patricia.
“We have to put the players in more positions to create explosive plays,” Sirianni said.
“But make no mistake about it, this offense is being run the exact same way the offense was run last year and the year before that. This offense is my offense; right? This is my offense. So, the criticism on the offense I think unfairly goes to Brian. Brian calls the plays. Brian calls the plays. It unfairly goes to Brian.”
The Eagles will want to snap their winless streak when they take on an improved New York Giants team in week 16.
“The criticism on this offense should come at me because this is my offense. I was hired to do a job here and got hired because I was successful as an offensive coordinator with our schemes and the different things that we did to coach players and help players win.
The 10-4 Eagles will want to keep the pressure on the 11-3 49ers and Ravens, who play each other this round.
“I’m committed to that. Like I said, the criticism should come at me, and I think it unfairly goes at Brian a lot of the times because he’s calling the plays.”
The changes defensively are not a huge surprise, but what about offense, an area that also needs looking after.
