Nick Sirianni Considers Staff Changes After Eagles Loss to Giants

Searching for Answers

The Philadelphia Eagles dropped their seventh game in a row on Sunday, losing 19-11 to the New York Giants. The defeat pushed Philadelphia to a 2-7 record on the season. Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed openness to potential coaching staff changes as the team enters its bye week.

Sirianni noted after the game that everything remains on the table. He stated that his primary duty is supporting the team, studying game tape, and evaluating himself first. He added that changes should not happen just for the sake of reacting to a record, but to address what is real for the group moving forward.

Offensive Struggles and Injuries

Philadelphia has struggled heavily on offense throughout this losing streak. The team exited Sunday ranked 30th in points per game at 16.4, EPA at negative 47.28, and first downs per game at 15.8. They also rank 28th in offensive efficiency at 31.53. Second half adjustments have proven to be a recurring problem for the unit.

Sean Mannion, the 34 year old first time play caller, has faced tough conditions. The offense has played without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, right tackle Lane Johnson, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith for a good portion of the season.

Against New York, Philadelphia replaced quarterback Tanner McKee with Joe Milton to try and generate energy. Milton, who joined the roster three weeks ago, pushed the ball downfield and used his mobility, but his lack of familiarity with the system caused the unit to stall for most of the day.

Trade Deadline Ahead

The Eagles have fallen far behind in the division race. With Tuesday's trade deadline approaching fast, roster moves could also be coming alongside potential coaching adjustments.

Players on expiring contracts like tight end Dallas Goedert, cornerback Riq Woolen, and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo may draw interest around the league. Goedert mentioned that everyone is available for the right price, adding that he had a good conversation with general manager Howie Roseman a few weeks ago.
