Eagles-Panthers Film Review: Sean Mannion should probably be replaced

Bleeding Green Nation's Jonny Page argues that Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion should be replaced following a dysfunctional offensive performance against the Carolina Panthers. Page criticizes the coordinator's under-center, outside zone scheme as being out of depth and failing to adapt. The analysis suggests head coach Nick Sirianni or Josh Grizzard could assume offensive play-calling responsibilities if a coaching change is made.

The film breakdown highlights persistent protection breakdowns, unblocked blitzers, and ineffective play-action concepts under center with quarterback Tanner McKee. Page notes that the offense functioned significantly better when operating out of shotgun formations with tempo, which enabled receiver DeVonta Smith to score a touchdown. The analysis also questions the blocking schemes supervised by offensive line coach Chris Kuper.
