Sirianni said they will continue sprinkling things in new OC Sean Mannion\u2018s system from previous offenses that have been successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that some of the things that you can sprinkle in from the things that we\u2019ve done, it\u2019ll just be a good mesh of different things,\u201d Sirianni said, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/eagles\/offensive-coordinator-sean-mannion-offense-nick-sirianni-howie-roseman-2026-nfl-combine-20260224.html?int_promo=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.<\/a> \u201cYou want to have something that you can [hang] your hat, which I think that we\u2019ve always had, but then adapt that to different things that your players do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sirianni said their offensive system is \u201cever-evolving\u201d and will figure things out as they go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s ever-evolving,\u201d Sirianni said. \u201cShoot, you might end up saying, \u2018Hey, I wanted to be an outside zone team, but it looks like we\u2019re going to be a little bit more of a gap team, or vice versa, right?\u2019 And it could be the same with, \u2018Hey, I wanted to be a little bit more play action, but it looks like we\u2019re going to be a little bit more naked and move the pocket and stuff like that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sirianni added that he needs to oversee their entire team, not just focus on their offense. In the end, he wants to be a resource to Mannion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that the most important thing that I need to do is be the head football coach of the football team, not the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles,\u201d Sirianni said. \u201cI need to be the head football coach in charge of everything. It\u2019s setting that vision, all the different things that go into it. But I\u2019ve had a lot of experience in putting together an offense, so I\u2019m here as a resource for him in that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was a point in the 2024 season when Panthers QB <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/Y\/YounBr01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=nfltraderumors.co&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-27_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bryce Young<\/a> was benched in favor of veteran QB <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DaltAn00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=nfltraderumors.co&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-27_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Dalton<\/a>.

At the time, you\u2019re working through the emotions. That night, I drove around. I didn\u2019t want to go back home. I just drove around for hours\u2026 I didn\u2019t know what was up or what was down at that time. I made a conscious decision to be consistent as I could be and to grow from it,\u201d Young said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Panthers HC Dave Canales said he\u2019s conceding play-calling duties to OC Brad Idzik and it wasn\u2019t something that the front office or ownership pressured him to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that all of us collectively have talked about as an organization. It was my idea to come up with this,\u201d Canales said, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/48024187\/panthers-dave-canales-cedes-offensive-play-calls-brad-idzik\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN<\/a>.\u201d[Idzik\u2019s] continuity with the system, his continuity with the players, being able to do that, I believe will be the best thing for us moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canales added that he believes that taking a step back from play-calling and focusing on the bigger picture will help him oversee the game in a better sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were quite a few moments,\u201d Canales said when asked if there was a specific time when he felt playcalling got in the way of him challenging a penalty. \u201cTo have conversations that way, making game management decisions \u2026 You can imagine it\u2019s a challenge to call plays and do those things. I was accepting of that challenge. But it goes beyond that. It\u2019s also being able to affect and impact your players really live as guys come on and off the field \u2014 to be able to connect with them, to see something I know fundamentally can help this player.
