Daily News | Jonathan Gannon seems like a smart guy. The Eagles need him to prove he actually is one.
“That is not the standard that we need,” he said. “We need to improve quick, and we will.”that Gannon used there was the key word, because he wasn’t just referring to the Eagles’ defensive players. If it has been an open secret around the Eagles that Howie Roseman has a hand in helping Gannon and Nick Sirianni with their game plans, it isn’t anymore. Gannon confirmed it.
That strategy-by-committee approach isn’t new for the Eagles. It’s how they’ve done things for a long time, and it has its benefits. One is that, when something goes awry, when there’s an undesirable outcome, it’s easier to deflect and diffuse the blame.And sometimes that’s true. The Eagles’ tackling Sunday, as one example, left a lot to be desired.
Here’s what I mean: The biggest mystery coming out of Sunday was obvious: Why did Jordan Davis, the team’s first-round pick this year, play just 22 snaps, especially since the Lions averaged just 2.
OK, but on any team, in any position group, there are guys a coach should feel better about than he does others. Sure, in a world in which all the Eagles’ linemen were interchangeable and of comparable ability, Gannon could adjust his strategy and substitution patterns to the flow of the game and the opponent’s approach.
