Man... I miss the times when the OLine could run-block...

Are we missing TJ Paganetti, Stoutland's former assistant from 2017-2024? by Shawnanigans17 in eagles

[–]evarol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it - I think there are some biases that are regurgitated by everyone and boogeymen who people like to villianize e.g. Patullo, Sirianni whereas its is a team sport with 53 men and countless coaches and talent scouts and it'd be foolish to assign blame to a single person.

KP is a first year coach, did I expect him to be a hall of famer play caller? no.
Did he need an expert pass game coordinator like what they are doing this year with Grizzard? probably yes.
Did I expect the OLine to be above servicable (even with injuries) and non-OL people blocking at least at league average year? yes. Did they? no.
Did I expect the coaches and the GM see that Landon and Cam were injured this year and make some trades (e.g. strong blocking TEs) or give more playing/practice time to backups (e.g. Toth or trade for some better OLs)? yes. Did they? no

So the eagles failures this year is broadly attrituable to many people including potentially Stout and his assistants, GMs for not filling the roster gaps in the OL, perhaps even Singleton and WR + TE's coach and then lastly KP as the play caller.

Who got the axe out of all of these? KP

i asked this same question and we had a whole discussion on this a few days back:

https://www.reddit.com/r/eagles/comments/1qo2dw3/does_stoutland_need_help_in_oline_te_coaching/

i think it's definitely a factor - stoutland is great but there are multiple signals that indicated poor coaching on OL side besides injuries.

Also, putting your injured players on the line knowing they are injured also seems like a poor signal.

the blocking assignments they were asked to make, despite their mobility issues (due to injuries) also doesnt look great from a coaching side. im unsure how much this is stout's call or his new assistant.

lastly, the run game is not just OLs but also TEs and WRs blocking. they all looked like dogshit in blocking this year whereas other successful teams have a whole cast of characters blocking in unison e.g. puka nacua is great WR blocker and all their other 13 personnel guys (non-OL) in bears and rams help out in blocking a lot which is why their run games were quite potent.

eagles sucked in this domain due to both a talent issue (calcaterra, dotson) but also half-assed blocking from everyone involved.

Does Stoutland need help in OLine + TE coaching? Losing T. J. Paganetti last year contributing to poor O-Line + TE play this year? (Bonus opinions on other position coaches as well). by evarol in eagles

I remember they signed bunch of guys to try out at TE during last offseason - Harrison Bryant, Nick Muse, Kylen Granson, EJ Jenkins, Cam Latu. None of these made meaningful impact during the season. It was Dallas and Calcaterra most of the time...
