Nick Sirianni is backing Kevin Patullo as Eagles prepare to face the Vikings in Week 7
Kevin Patullo may look like the problem but he’s only apart of it.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense is in shambles after losing back-to-back games, but head coach Nick Sirianni refuses to put the blame on offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
“Yeah, like I said earlier, not in this sport is it ever on one person, and we’re not in the business of assigning blame,” Sirianni said. “We’re in the business of finding solutions. As we watched the tape today, it was a little on everything and that’s this game of team football. I know that we live in a world that wants to assign blame, point the finger, but that’s not the reality of what good teams do. That’s not reality of this sport, and we’ve got a lot of confidence in Kevin and the offensive staff and love some of the thoughts that we have.”
Eagles Have No Plans to Change Their Offense
The Eagles had a longer weekend to get ready to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, but Sirianni and the rest of the coaching staff aren’t going to divulge what they really learned about themselves over those extra days.
“I know you’ll ask them, ‘Hey, what were some of the things you found on the bye-week?’ They’re probably not going to tell you those things either,” Sirianni said. “It’s not good for us to share that with our opponents, but a lot of confidence in there. And again, we’re all about finding solutions. I saw that quote of [former NFL Head Coach] Bill Parcells a long time ago of finding solutions, and that’s what we’re in the business of.”
While Sirianni wouldn’t go into details of what the Eagles did over the mini-bye, he did say there was no change coming to the offensive play-calling.
“This isn’t like you lose this one and then you’ve got to wait again to play for a year,” Sirianni said. “No, we get an opportunity to go out, get better from this, continue to come together as a football team and get back to work.”
