Why Are the Eagles’ Offensive Issues Pointing Back to Kevin Patullo?
The Eagles are struggling on offense — and while injuries, penalties, and inconsistent O-line play all play a role, the scheme itself is raising eyebrows.
Philadelphia currently uses play action on just 11.6% of their snaps and motion on only 42.6%, both dead last or near last in the entire NFL.
For comparison: the top team is around 20% play action and 68% motion — a massive gap.
With defenses stacking the box against a 2,000-yard RB, the Eagles aren’t using play action to punish it, nor motion to diagnose coverages or create mismatches. Drives often look rushed, lacking time for adjustments. And each week, fans point out route concepts that look overly basic or poorly spaced.
Yes, it’s not only one problem — but the scheme and play-calling, led by Kevin Patullo, seem to be holding the offense back more than anything else.
