Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo impressed during his first media session with reporters since taking over the new position. Patullo offered insight into the type of offense he plans to run and how he will maximize the talent of his players.

Former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore left the Eagles right after the Super Bowl to become the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

After starting with Philadelphia as the passing game coordinator from 2021-2024, head coach Nick Sirianni promoted Patullo to officially call the shots on offense this season.

During the second day of OTAs for the Eagles, Patullo spoke about how his version of the offense will look.

Said the coach: “I think when you say 'different,' I think it’s going to be like, 'What do our players do best?' And then from there, we just expand upon it. Hey, we’re really good at this. Let’s bring this to the table and try this and see where we can take it. And I think really, when you look at just our staff as a whole, we’ve added some new coaches, so they bring some other layers to it too, and then the knowledge of what they have from their background.

“So I think as we go forward, as we build this thing together as a staff, you’ll see some new wrinkles here and there, but more so it’s just kind of building on what our players do best.''

Patullo will look to improve and grow a talented offensive unit that has the necessary pieces to make another Super Bowl run. ... with some "new wrinkles'' that figure to challenges rivals who stand in Philly's way.
