Eagles Press Conference: Kevin Patullo | July 26, 2025

All right, fire away. You guys have a good summers. Yeah, man. We’re back now. Here we go. Uh Kevin, yeah, Jaylen is completing a high percentage of his passes these first few days. Just what have you seen from him and what do you attribute to him, you know, at this point in his career? The ball really doesn’t hit the ground in practice. I think Jaylen’s done a really good job of just kind of understanding everything now. You know, he’s becoming a really complete player in the past game. He puts a lot of work into it. quarterback meetings have been tremendous as far as just understanding what the defense is doing and what we’re trying to do and how to attack them and he takes a lot of pride in it, right? I mean, he really over the years have taken a lot of pride in not turning the ball over and completing balls and understanding how to stay on schedule and keep us moving in the right direction. I know you’re team focused. This whole organization is team focused, but personally, I’m sure this has been one of your goals in your career as you got into this uh business. Just what was the first couple days like for you from a personal level? Was it surrealness? anything just as you’re out there in a different role? Yeah, it really it’s not much different. Um, it feels the same. Yeah, I wouldn’t say it’s much different at all. I mean, it’s been fun. The meetings have been great. A lot of energy in the offensive meetings as a whole unit. Uh, I kind of gone to each position room a little bit and spent some time in there. You know, the tight ends I was in the other day going over some stuff with with J Mike and everybody and it was good. It’s been fun. You know, it’s really not much different. Um, it’s probably there’s a little more just talking to everybody, but overall it’s about the same, but I’ve really enjoyed it. Like I said, the energy has been great. On the field, the guys have been tremendous. And in the classroom, everybody’s been really, really good. I’m sure planning out I’m going to spend time with this group today, this group today. You have to think about that more. Uh, sometimes, but I kind of like to talk to everybody, you know. I kind of like to try to get everybody’s opinion on stuff and spend time with the O line and wander around with the quarterbacks. obviously going to spend a lot of time there, but the running backs and walkthroughs especially, uh, I think it’s really important that you really talk to the guys at each group, right? So, when we’re doing these walkthroughs, that’s really where I’m very intentional on spending time with the O line, talking through things as we’re doing it because it’s slowed down a little bit. We’re not full speed like we are out there in practice. But, I think a little bit you do, but more so, you just want to make sure everybody’s comfortable with what we’re doing. I’m sure you’re still figuring out the I’m sure you’re still figuring out the identity of this offense. fundamentally is it still a runoriented foundation? Yeah, I think we’re still the Eagles offense. I don’t think that’ll change. I think it starts starts with the run game up front and then we just build from there and then obviously we’d like to try new things here and there and we’ll see kind of how how that goes throughout training camp and where it leads us to. What are your what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on Jaylen running the ball and if he can maintain his pace as he enters the season? I think it’s all situational, right? So, you know, when he wants the ball in his hands, he’s going to do it and he’s going to let us know. And then really it just comes down to if he needs to make a play and he knows he wants to, he’s going to do it, right? So whether it’s just dropping back and scrambling and making a play with his legs or, you know, if he feels like now’s the time that I I want to start running the ball, you know, we’ll give him that opportunity. Philosophically speaking, Joe, when you look at the quarterback position and historically quarterbacks and running the ball, there’s a certain cut off point um for most of them in terms of like when they stop doing it as much or when they don’t want to risk injury. Do you have um your experience of watching that. Do you have a feeling of when there’s a Yeah, I wouldn’t say there’s really Yeah, I wouldn’t say there’s really a specific time frame. I think really when you look at it over the years where he’s getting more yards now currently is more on scrambling, right, in the Super Bowl. He did a tremendous job of getting out of the pocket, making plays with his legs. And you know, I had a guy Ryan Fitzpatrick for for years, couple different teams, and he wasn’t a fast guy, but he made a lot of first downs. you know, if something broke down, getting out of the pocket and making plays with his legs, and he was an older player and had no problem doing it. How about the uh Jordan was talking the other day about how there’s been an emphasis on getting out of the huddle quicker, getting the line quicker. Why is that important? How’s that going to help? Yeah, I think in general when you can push the tempo, right, as an offense, now you put the defense in stress, right? So, that’s something we want to continue to do. Uh, and just kind of operate faster. I think that’s something that can help everybody. It gives us more time to see things and just operate with more efficiency. How about the uh logistics of things, install terminology? How much is that changed? Uh Jaylen made a big part of that terminology change. You were here before and with Kellen. Any of that new? Yeah, I think we’ve tried to streamline as much as we can to keep it consistent for the guys. But, you know, at the end of every year, I think I talked about this in the spring is when you look at it as a whole and you can take your step, you know, take steps out of it and kind of see the big picture, you can basically say, okay, if we put this over there and this over there, it’s a little cleaner for guys that are now coming into a new system, right? Cuz the guys that have been here know the history of it. But if you’re a new player, you know, and AJ Dylan, some of these other guys, it’s a little bit different. They don’t have the history of the offense. So when you can put things and move them into other buckets, it’s easier to learn and then it kind of allows you to expand on it too. So I think there is a little bit of that but nothing dramatic if that makes sense. You mentioned the emphasis you guys place on limiting turnovers but I guess what’s your risk tolerance for maybe take more chances in this? Yeah, I think really in practice, right, we’ve talked about this. Now is the time to take some chances, see what you can do and see what it feels like and kind of where the ball can go and what you’re comfortable with. And then, you know, in games, obviously, every situation’s different. Sometimes you can take a risk. Sometimes the play requires you to take a risk and sometime it doesn’t. So, I think it’s just understanding the identity of the play and and now is the time a little bit take some chances and see what happens. How many plays would have a higher risk? What’s that? Like calling a play knowing that there would be a higher risk. How many how many more of those are you willing to take? It just depends on what the defense is doing each week. It can it can be very, you know, very different. Sometimes you have a few, sometimes you don’t. It really depends on the defense that you’re getting. Sideline side, you know, his comfort level here. How does that experience? I think his comfort level has increased so much. Like I said, our quarterback meetings have been so good. The dialogue between him, myself, and Scott and everybody in there with all the quarterbacks and the understanding of what we want to do and how to push it and change and maybe do some different things to where as he gets more comfortable, his suggestions are obviously well taken too to where I feel like as a team we can put things together and, you know, give him a chance to do what he wants to do at times. But I think really it just comes down to just being able to adjust. I think he sees the game really well now to where when he comes off the field, even in between serieses in practice, he’s able to see it and say like, “Hey, it was this, this, and this.” And so, it’s really it’s really improved. It’s good. What’s that? So, no, because I’ve been on the field for so long and when I uh called it in New York into fits and I did a lot of that kind of stuff, I was on the field, I’m kind of used to it, so I have no problem doing it. I I like the interaction with the quarterback. I’ve kind of been in that mode, you know, the last four years here. So, I I’ve kind of pretty much always done that. Mentioned certain times last season when he stepped in and made the final calls on the plays. How do you guys anticipate handling those conversations? I mean, I’ve been a part of them for the last four years, so I kind of know when and how they’re coming up and, you know, it’s just kind of the the flow of the game. Sometimes it’s just situationally, sometimes it’s just a suggestion. And and for the most part, it’s worked pretty well. I’ve been to play bowling over the years. They all talk about how how fun it is. Yeah. How eager are you to to play what what is the most fun part about it to do? It is fun. Like I look forward to practice every day to see what we can do and what’s going to happen. Um you obviously it’s a challenge, but it is fun cuz really what you’re doing is you’re you’re painting a big picture for everybody and you’re given the identity of what you want to do and to see where it goes. So it it is it is a challenge, but it’s a lot of fun. You know, it’s it’s no different than going out and playing a round of golf. You never know what’s going to happen till you swing and then you kind of go from there and react to it. So, it’s a lot of fun. When it comes to when it comes to the situational work, we see Nick kind of every once in a while fall out the situation. Yep. For you as a play caller, you put yourself through those situations. I have. And over the last four years, I’ve been a big part of that. So, for me, it’s not much different. I’ve kind of been in that role before. So, it’s it’s pretty normal right now. Kevin, so this offense has been together for a few years now. How beneficial is that? Especially early in camp, can you kind of just jump right into maybe quicker for different installations? Maybe you can kind of move past some, you know, different things and get a little more advanced with the uh situational stuff. Yeah, I think it it really helps, right? Because you’re always building on what we’ve done from the past. Um, and you can push the envelope as far as like, hey, let’s try this off of that because we’ve been doing this for a while. So, uh, it is fun to kind of do that kind of stuff and go through that and and push the guys and stress them to see what we can get away with and if it works now, hopefully it works later. In your past, kind of the vertical passing game’s been a big part of what you’ve done. A, why do you like that? And and B, will that be more pronounced this season? Say that again. That hurtful passing game has been a big part of what you’ve done in the past. A, why do you like that? And and B, assess that that’s going to be more pronounced this season. Yeah, I think really comes down to what the defense gives us obviously and we have really good players on the perimeter, right? So, anytime you have good players on the perimeter, you want to give them as many opportunities as you can to make big plays and Jaylen’s really good at it. So, I think as much as we can do that, it’ll definitely benefit us. When you look at the offensive line, what what have you noticed so far about Tyler Sten? How he’s gone like the first couple games and, you know, and obviously the competition there. Tyler’s done a really good job. I mean, he’s done a good job stepping in for us the last few years. you can feel his presence out there now. He’s more comfortable. I think he’s done a really nice job. I think if you ask the other O line guys, and they’ve even talked about a little bit, is just how much more he’s grown as a person and kind of his his personality out there. What do you see from Dylan so far? I mean, what kind of element do you think he brings to this offense? How’s he comp? You know, it’s interesting because he is a different kind of player. He is a big guy, right, that can run downhill and do different things. And what’s actually been really good to see is he’s done a good job catching the ball out of the back field and his versatility. So, it just gives us another guy that we can put out there and a different piece where we can move other pieces around. So, it’ll be fun to to use him this year. Have you spent a lot of time thinking about Squan’s workload? Uh, you know, it’s interesting. We’ve kind of talked about that, him and I have, but I think it’s very game specific, right? You know, it depends on how the flow of the game goes and how we’ll use it. He does a really good job of knowing himself, right, of when he needs to come out, when he wants to kind of go back in. So, a lot of that will be on him obviously during games and he’s really good about paying attention to that. In the spring, uh Jeffrey had mentioned about sort of looking at fullback maybe moving obviously move Ben on to the offensive side of the ball. How big of an emphasis is that to to add that in a little bit more? It’s just another thing we can do, right? So the more you can stress the defense, the better you are, right? And we’ve done a little bit of it and we’ll just kind of continue to expand upon that package and see where it can take you because Ben’s a really good athlete. I don’t think people realize how good of an athlete he is. So it’s been it’s been fun to have him out there right now. What’s the understanding of what Dosi can do different having offse? Um I think the the the full off season obviously helps everybody and that’s kind of what you can see from the spring until now. Everybody’s starting to grow their game and kind of the the knowledge of the system and the verbiage has kind of come secondhand and we can just go out there and roll. So, thanks guys. Appreciate Thankf.
