I honestly think Brian Johnson hasn’t settled in as an nfl playcaller yet
Shane Steichen had a year with the chargers and half a year with the eagles before 2022
I think he’s gotten better every week
Jalen also just looks like he’s getting used to different looks defensively and despite the 2 picks I actually thought he looked the most like himself tonight
Agreed for the most part. I thought it was interesting late in the game the eagles were showing pass on 3rd and short and sirianni blew a timeout and the eagles came back and ran the tush push for an easy 1st down. So sirianni overruled BJ there.
It’ll take some time but I think everybody will get more comfortable. I mean this team lost what, like 5-6 coaches overall not to mention both the OC and DC?lmao.. It doesn’t surprise me that they are starting a little slowly.
I’m very impressed with the defense so far though. I was a guy that didn’t hate Gannon but didn’t love him either but man, desai already looks a million times better than Gannon no question. The run defense actually looks good so far.lmao it’s been a while since you could say that with a straight face.
The run defense is interesting
I think largely the interior has upgraded. Both Jordan and Jalen Carter are upgrades on hargrave. Especially against the run, and Jalen to me is an upgrade pass rushing
But even Jordan has been shockingly good pass rushing
But desai also actually will press his corners which Gannon refused to ever do. I think desai might actually be a star
We may have downgraded offensively but we’ve upgraded defensively
Hell have his bumps but I really like him. I think Brian Johnson is someone who come week 9 we’ll be happy with
He has moments, but Shane is missed. He had Anthony Richardson really moving, he’s a really great offensive coach
It’s so crazy to think a team loses javon hargrave and gets better on the interior DL but that’s exactly what happened..lmao
I’m just hoping we can somehow get 3 years out of desai but if we go far in the playoffs again and/or get to the Super Bowl I’m wondering if desai is poached pretty quickly. Maybe after year 2.
