Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback coach John DeFilippo
to fill their void at offensive coordinator. The team is scheduled to hold a
press conference on Wednesday afternoon to introduce him Landry Jones Jerseys Stitched , but what can fans expect from him as a play caller and designer?I’ve reached out to a few people who have covered teams where DeFilippo
was employed to get an idea of what to expect. Arif Hasan from The Athletic
offered me this perspective on DeFilippo:There is some good and some bad mixed
in there. It is worth noting that outside of his stint with the Vikings, and one
season with the Cleveland Browns, the only other time DeFilippo has actually
been a play caller was one season at the NCAA level with San Jose State, though
their record did improve by four games with him as the offensive coordinator
from the previous season.Arif did a lot of work on DeFilippo prior to his first
and only season with the Vikings Dontavius Russell Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , writing about his philosphy as an offensive mind and noting things like the fact that DeFilippo designed the
Eagles redzone offense while he was their quarterback coach, ranking second
overall in touchdown percentage in redzone situations.He also noted the
breakdowns he used to do for the Eagles official website. Check this one out
below:One of the big plusses of DeFilippo is he’s known as a teacher, which
could be very important if the Jaguars do decide to draft a quarterback with
their first round pick even though the hire will likely ramp up Nick Foles
speculation.Arif also coincidentally defended the heat DeFilippo was getting as
offensive coordinator right before his ultimate firing, which you can read about
here. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson hasn’t been a member of the Eagles for a
long time Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys 2019 , but he’s made an impression on the team already.Jackson signed with the Eagles as a free agent in March after he was
released by the Jaguars and he joins longtime Eagles like Fletcher Cox and
Brandon Graham on the line in Philly. Throw in Derek Barnett, Vinny Curry, Tim
Jernigan, Josh Sweat and rookie Shareef Miller and you have a group that Graham
believes can do very well this year.Graham also believes that Jackson will be
playing a big role in making that happen.“I think we have a chance to do
something special Youth Dontavius Russell Jersey , but we also know that we’ve got a lot of work to do and that it’s a long, long season,” Graham said, via the team’s
website. “I’ve seen what we did in the offseason. Bringing in a guy like Malik
sets the tone for the entire defensive line. The way he works and how he
plays Dontavius Russell Jersey Color Rush , that right there is a good example for all of us.”Jackson slipped down the depth chart as part of the overall decline
in results in Jacksonville last year, but had a strong 2017 and a rebound would
help the Eagles fulfill Graham’s feeling that the team can do something special
this year.
