Typically, the coach and quarterback are in the eye of the storm when it comes to responsibility in the NFL. In Philadelphia, you might want to bring in GM Howie Roseman and expand it to a triumvirate because of the GM’s personnel power.

As the Eagles prepare to kick off the 2024 season in Sao Paulo, Brazil against the Green Bay Packers, they will be joined by arguably the most important member of the organization after last season’s historic collapse: new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

The headline with Moore is his ease of getting to him through movement, or perhaps his willingness to make more plays, along with his reputation for freeing up receivers by using huddle formations or moving pieces.

This is the hiss of the necessary pendulum effect after last season’s increasingly static offense.

“Movement, some of it is just distraction, eye candy, so to speak,” Moore admitted. “…It’s a balancing act between movement and change and tempo and all these different things, when to use it to your advantage and when to just go with it.”

The content of Moore’s job description after being hired by Sirianni was obvious: He had to fix Jalen Hurts’ blitzing issues, something everyone in Philadelphia will know starting Friday night against the Packers.

“I think teams will look at last year’s film and until we stop (the Blitz), I think things like this will continue to happen,” All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson stated bluntly.

Moore’s work has been prepared behind closed doors since the spring, an attempt to give Hurts more autonomy in the post-Jason Kelce era while ensuring the starting quarterback in his fourth year is ready for what’s to come.

For now, Hurts’ job will be to spot the blitz, communicate protection calls with the help of center cam Jurgens, and alert receivers to who is targeting a particular attack.

Too often last season, the bubble screen was the default solution, which took a toll on the Eagles’ season, as well as Hurts’ self-described “lust to learn.”

Moore, on the other hand, is in the mix himself, as this is his third OC job with three different teams in three seasons.

There are many reasons behind this upheaval, starting with Mike McCarthy’s self-preserving decision to take over as offensive coach in Dallas to Moore’s subsequent move to Brandon Statley, a coach who already has one foot with the Los Angeles Chargers.

A failed season for Moore in Philadelphia would likely mean the end of Sirianni and a new coach who would most likely want a fresh start that would hardly include Jeff Stoutland or anything else.

There are no obvious excuses either.

Roseman added additional players to an already impressive roster of playmakers whose talent is surpassed only by their reputations – deserved or not – including running back Saquon Barkley and WR3 Jahan Dotson.

The New York Giants have spent six seasons building the foundation of their offense around Barkley, who will be the third or fourth option in Philadelphia, while Washington selected Dotson 16th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft because of his potential difference-making ability, although he is now only occasionally considered when it comes to passing advancements.

“We’re just excited about the pieces we have, excited about the coaches we have,” Sirianni said. “We’re excited to get started.”

With Kelce away and pitching everything from cereal to Buffalo wings to hotel rooms, Hurts went back into “sponge mode” when Moore arrived with his adviser, quarterback coach Doug Nussmeier.

“I just always listened to my coaches’ advice,” Hurts said.

Sirianni is proud of what his offense has accomplished in three consecutive postseason appearances and an NFC title. The head coach was also aware that things were stagnant and Hurts needed a new voice.

However, Sirianni never questioned Hurts’ willingness to work hard.

“Since I’ve been here, Jalen has only cared about winning and trying to do everything he can to win,” Sirianni said. “Put it this way: Every year, 2021, 2022, 2023, he’s done everything he can to help this football team win and put his heart and soul into it.”

“I see the same Jalen, a guy who’s going to bust his ass to help us win that first game, bust his ass to make sure the team is in a good position and do his best because we know we need him to play good football so we can have a chance week in and week out.”

A receiver is his own playing time. Sirianni has coached quarterbacks in the past, but he never played the position. Moore was a quarterback at the NFL level and played the position at a very high level in college at Boise State.

Moore knows firsthand what quarterbacks need to recognize the blitz and what tools help them deal with the pressure.

“I think every quarterback, at least a lot of the ones I know, go through a process as they grow and mature and are exposed to a lot of football,” Moore said. “Jalen is obviously on that path. … Every quarterback has a good feel for what all 11 on the field are doing, so they know what adjustments could be made and what tools we can utilize. So we continue to try to build that into the game plans, which gives (Hurts) the opportunity to make those adjustments if we see they can help us or benefit us in any way.”

And if Hurts really is the sponge he described, then the Eagles offense could be in for a special season.

“(Moore) understands situations from a quarterback’s perspective,” a former NFC coach told Eagles on SI when asked about the OC. “You’ll see the play-action stuff and the tempo limit the blitzing opportunities as much as possible, and then he’ll give the QB the tools he needs to be successful, whether it’s running the play quickly so there’s time to look over the defense or making sure the hots are easy to spot.”

“Quarterback friendly is one of those terms that gets thrown around,” the former coach continued. “I don’t even know what that means, but (Moore is) friendly to that position because he knows what quarterbacks want right now.”
