Sean Mannion discusses blending Eagles' previous scheme with new ideas
Eagles OC Sean Mannion discussed blending Philadelphia's identity with new concepts, coaching Jalen Hurts, and building an offense that players can process quickly and execute efficiently.
Whenever the Philadelphia Eagles introduce a new offensive coordinator (which they have done relatively frequently recently), one question immediately rises above the rest. What will the offense look like? Sean Mannion wasn't about to hand over the playbook during a media session in late May, nor should anyone have expected him to.
Still, during a recent exchange with reporters, the Eagles ' new offensive coordinator offered a brief but encouraging glimpse into how he views the unit he now oversees. All three coordinators spoke with the media on Thursday , with only a handful of days separating this team from another round of OTAs. What he said was what Eagles fans wanted to hear.
He spoke about building an offense around the players rather than forcing them into a rigid philosophical box, and of course, he spoke glowingly about the starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts, with some early intel into how they're getting along. Thursday was our first chance to hear new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion talk about Jalen Hurts as the Eagles gear up for OTAs. pic.

Philadelphia's franchise signal-caller has now worked through multiple offensive systems, multiple play-callers, and more philosophical shifts than most elite quarterbacks would prefer early in their careers.
