Eagles Playcalling: What Will Change Next Year?

Not much will change for the Eagles' play-calling.

The Birds found success late in the season from running the ball more. 

With the addition of LeSean McCoy, it stands to reason that the Eagles plan on keeping their run/pass ration close to even. 

At the wide-out position, Philly has three of the fastest guys in the game, with Kevin Curtis, Desean Jackson, and rookie Jeremy Maclin. 

Andy Reid experimented with the wildcat, snapping to Jackson. He could toy with more gimmicky type plays, because of the extraordinary athleticism from his wide-outs. 

Defense

Fans should expect the same attacking defense, no matter who is calling the plays. 

The man behind the calls could be Sean McDermott, the heir apparent. 

Brian Stewart’s addition muddles the situation slightly, but the Eagles prefer insiders, and I don’t think he’ll be calling plays. 

The wild card is if Andy Reid begins to mess with the defense in Jim Johnson’s absence. For years, Reid has let Johnson do his thing, but will he trust a first time defensive play caller? 

My bet is, Reid will stick to the offense, and the play calling will remain the same on both sides of the ball.
