Mornhinweg helped Brian Westbrook turn in the most impressive season by a running back in franchise history in 2007.

 

In 2008, Mornhinweg helped the Eagles set a franchise-record with 416 points. Expectations remain high for the offense entering the 2009 season, as Mornhinweg will be asked to work with younger players such as LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin and Cornelius Ingram in the hopes of leading the Eagles back into the Super Bowl.

 

 

Jim Johnson: Defensive Coordinator

 

For the past 11 seasons, Jim Johnson has been nothing short of spectacular as the Eagles' defensive coordinator.

 

Because Reid has chosen to focus on working with Mornhinweg to improve the offense, Johnson has been given complete control of the team's defense.

 

With 13 years of NFL experience already under his belt, Johnson was signed by Reid to be the team's defensive coordinator before the 1999 season.

 

The results were immediate. Despite a 5-11 record, the Eagles ranked first in the NFL with 46 turnovers, including five returned for touchdowns.
