Nick Sirianni backs Kevin Patullo, his offensive coordinator. Eagles fans clearly do not. Is this the right move for Sirianni, or is it time for a change in play calling? Meanwhile, Justin Herbert’s injury history is getting lengthy at this point, but he hasn’t missed many games in his career (four). Should he really try to play through this left hand injury Monday night versus Philadelphia?
Nick Sirianni, as an offensive coach, would ideally take over play calling the way Dan Campbell did in Detroit. However, his own experience calling plays during his first season as head coach was not successful; taking over those duties now might not produce the desired results. The Eagles, like the Lions, will be looking for a new offensive coordinator next season. As for Herbert, he should play if he’s able to be effective and can protect himself decently. His team’s playoff hopes depend on his availability. The team is counting on him.
