The touches that Kevin Patullo puts on the Eagles as the team's new offensive coordinator will become evident when the 2025 regular season begins, so if you are looking for clues on how things might be different, you will have to wait until then.

In the meantime, Patullo – the passing game coordinator since he and Head Coach Nick Sirianni arrived for the 2021 season – has the full attention of his offense as he takes his OC turn and the Eagles, a team full of returning starters on that side of the football, go through the process of gearing up for another run at it in the season ahead for a group that, we all saw it, did a lot of things right a season ago.

Patullo isn't here to reinvent the wheel. He and the offensive coaching staff are going to take what the Eagles do well – a lot, we know – and strive to be more efficient. They're going to anticipate what defenses will try to take away and come up with multiple counter moves to win that chess match. They're going to continue the evolution of an offense that now has its fourth offensive coordinator – Patullo follows Shane Steichen, Brian Johnson, and Kellen Moore – and its fifth playcaller – Sirianni, then Steichen, then Johnson, and Moore last year – since 2021.

"As far as different, you know we go through the process at the end of each year of examining what we do well, what we need to improve upon, and any trends or anything we can see that we can add to it," Patullo said on Wednesday, his first press conference since he was elevated to offensive coordinator when Moore left to become the head coach in New Orleans. "So I think, when you say 'different,' I think it's going to be, what do our players do best, like it's been, and from there we just expand upon it. I think we're really good at this, let's bring this to the table, and try this and see what we can take.

"When you look at our (coaching) staff as a whole, and we've added some new coaches, so they bring some other layers to it, too, in the knowledge and what they have in their backgrounds. As we go forward, as we build this thing together as a staff, you'll see some new wrinkles here and there, but moreso it's building upon what our players do best."

When you have one of the NFL's top offensive lines and a receiving corps that is so outstanding and the best running back in the league and a quarterback coming off a Most Valuable Player performance in the Super Bowl, you have a lot with which to work. Patullo knows that. He cites longtime offensive mind Chan Gailey as his prime influence in his coaching career, along with Sirianni.

This is Patullo's time. He has paid his dues. He has known his role and, frankly, has been a star in that role designing the team's passing game. And now he is the guy who stands alone and addresses the entire offense and who hears the input from other coaches and who, on gamedays and nights, will be the one to call the plays and to take what he's learned in an NFL coaching career that dates back to 2007 and 2008 with Kansas City, designing with Gailey and those coaches a totally new offense when the team had to rely on the talents of Tyler Thigpen at quarterback and guiding him to the best season of his career (18 touchdown passes, 12 interceptions, 386 rushing yards, and 3 scores on the ground largely playing out of the pistol, an innovation in those times).

Patullo will lean into the offensive line and running back Saquon Barkley and the fabulous receiving duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert and, of course, the myriad talents of quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The pieces are there.

Patullo's job is to synchronize them and give the machine a consistent, productive buzz.

"My approach is to put the players in the best position to be successful, and that's what it comes down to," Patullo said. "We want to make sure they're confident in everything they can do and you want to be confident as a coach that you put them in that position so that they can go out there and do their best."

And that's it. That's the approach. That's the formula and that is what the Eagles are working for in these last days of May that melt into June before the team takes six weeks off to rest up before Training Camp opens.

"We're going to be detailed in our fundamentals and everything we do, be detailed in the scheme, and put the players in the best position to be successful," Patullo said.
