There won't be a change in defensive play calling for the .Nearly 24 hours after the Eagles gave up 35 points and 449 yards to the , Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said they will stick with Matt Patricia as the defensive play caller for the regular season finale against the -- and for the remainder Seth DeValve Jersey of the season."We're going to continue to go in the direction we're going in on defense that we've been these last couple weeks," Sirianni said to reporters Monday. "Again, we made an adjustment earlier in the year to get things going back on track. For a couple weeks, we felt like they were, and then yesterday obviously wasn't up to what we wanted to be able to do and play to our standard or coach to our standard."But we'll continue in that direction."While the Eagles defense has been slightly better under Patricia, the numbers have suggested the change hasn't been significant. The Eagles gave up points in six of seven po se sions (not counting end of half) in Sunday's lo s. The second half was even worse as the Cardinals scored 29 points in the final 30 minutes (haven't scored more than 29 in a game all year) and scored four touchdowns on four po se sions. The defense was supposed to be better under Patricia, but instead has allowed 26.6 points per game Jaelen Strong Jersey (25th in the) and 346.0 yards per game (20th in NFL) in the three games Patricia has been the Rashard Higgins Jersey defensive play caller. Entering Week 15 (when the Eagles made the switch from Sean Desai to Patricia), the Eagles were 32nd in thein third down defense (54.8%) and red zone defense (78.3%) since Week 8. They also allowed a league high 428.2 yards per game and 297.8 pa sing yards per game.

When Sirianni made the switch, Philadelphia was 31st in the league in points per game allowed (30.0) and had allowed 30-plus points in three consecutive games for the first time since 1967. Sirianni isn't regretting the change after the Eagles defense put up their worst performance of the year, vowing that the unit will correct the i sues as the playoffs near."Everything that I do, every decision that I make, is with the thought of the team first and what is best for the team," Sirianni said. "You know, the adjustments that I made a T. J. Carrie Jersey couple weeks ago were in attempts to do what was best for the team, and I still believe that. We made some adjustments. "Coming off a game like that, no one is going to be satisfied about anything that happened. But I do believe in the guys that we have on the field. I do believe on the guys that we have the defensive coaches. Every decision I'm trying to make, is what's best for the team, and I believe that adjustment was nece sary and where we are right now." |
