The Philadelphia Eagles have been 3-0 since the bye week ended, and while the defense is starting to find their groove, Kellen Moore’s versatile offense has found its identity.
While meeting with the media on Friday, Johnson said there were discussions during the bye week about the offense embodying the “same formula” of 2021: using the run game and play-action.
Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore attributed the gains to “just finding our rhythm,” while Lane Johnson and the Eagles offensive line played a significant role in the identity shift.
“It was an offensive-led movement. We knew we had to make some adjustments,” Johnson said. “Some of the leaders on the O-line had our fair share of talk in helping it. We want our offense to be the best version of itself, win some games, and score points in the fucking first quarter. That would be nice.”
