Though he no longer calls plays (because he was bad at it), Sirianni plays a major role in the Eagles' offensive struggles. Number one, he hasn't been able to provide answers to big-picture problems (he might not feel like they have problems since they don't turn the ball over and win but you can't tell me leading the league in three-and-outs is a smart thing to do). Number two, Sirianni not calling plays creates a situation where the play-caller is bound to change often
It's understandable if his résumé clouds the fact he has been part of the problem. He's a highly accomplished 27-year-old quarterback who has already collected a world championship, two Super Bowl appearances, two Pro Bowl nods and a Super Bowl MVP. He is a force inside the walls of the NovaCare Complex, channeling his inner Nick Saban (Hurts' former college coach at Alabama) to push the standard for excellence ever higher.
This week, they asked around about the defending champion Eagles' offense. How panicked is Philadelphia right now? Will the passing game start to click? Jeremy and Dan also checked in on the aftermath of the Titans firing coach Brian Callahan. Why was it done now, and what should we expect from Tennessee's upcoming coaching search? Then they broke down the 49ers' seemingly never-ending string of injuries and whether that might prompt them to be active at the trade deadline.
