Getting To Know You

PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles have pulled out all the stops to restore an offense that had grown stale.

First-year coordinator Sean Mannion is being entrusted to implement a system that modernizes concepts and gives the Eagles a schematic advantage. The philosophical shift and modifications promise to be recognizable and a major departure from past game plans.

Accompanying Mannion are a flurry of new assistant coaches, each in alignment with Mannion’s vision for the offense. Even some of the offseason acquisitions reflected that transformation.

Adapting to change has become customary for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who must orient himself with his latest play caller and embrace a new philosophy.

The changes for Hurts also extend to his position coach, with staff holdover Parks Frazier replacing Scot Loeffler. Frazier, who last offseason joined the Eagles’ staff as passing game coordinator, is now tasked with overseeing Hurts’ progression in the new system.

Frazier, whose resume includes a two-year stint as an assistant quarterbacks coach for the Indianapolis Colts, has worked with a variety of quarterbacks. His diverse coaching background should be an ideal match for Hurts, who is annually asked to adjust to different voices and directives.

Those circumstances, however, won’t alter Frazier’s approach to teaching. The 34-year-old assistant is moving forward with standard operating procedure.

“The same as I would approach any quarterback,” he said. “We focus on where we’re headed, not necessarily where things have been. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of different quarterbacks and seen a lot of different ways to do it. And so, you just kind of focus on, ‘OK, this is where we’re going to head, this is how we’re going to get there.’ And then you work together with that.”

Frazier’s connection to the scheme Mannion will design can be traced back to two seasons ago, when he served as an offensive assistant under then Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. There, Frazier had the chance to dig deep inside the mind of McDaniel and discover what makes McDaniel’s offense tick.

It’s a scheme that piqued Frazier’s curiosity, creating an urge to expand his own coaching philosophy.

Familiar now with the guiding principles of the West Coast scheme, Frazier steps into his new role in Philadelphia armed with a big-picture perspective.

“I mean, a lot of it is the play style, right?” he said.” And it’s, you spend a lot of time on talking about the foundation of how you make things come to life, how you make plays look alike. You make complex things look simple and simple things look complex. That’s kind of the foundation of it.

“And then from the quarterback’s perspective, again, it’s just trying to take one of the hardest positions in sports and make it as simple as possible. So, you try to chunk things together. You try to make it where guys can play fast, even though there’s a lot going on. So that’s been the biggest thing I learned from those guys is just, you see it from the outside and you see all the motions, you see all the different plays. But how do you take that, and you package it together to make it simple for the quarterback, on the player, so they can go out there and play fast?”

As a reminder, success is not always linear. Growing pains should be anticipated. In Hurts’ case, he’s being schooled in terminology along with having mechanical tweaks drilled into him to be ready for the new scheme, and that’s just for starters.

On an encouraging note, Frazier expressed Hurts’ willingness to do whatever is asked, adding the Eagles’ franchise quarterback “takes whatever’s in front of him, and he attacks it, and that’s what he’s been doing right now, and doing it well.”

When coaching a player with Hurts’ drive and devotion to winning, Frazier acknowledged it requires considerable effort on his part. He relishes working with players of that makeup because it challenges him to be the best version of himself.

Frazier knows that coaching someone wired like Hurts means he must stay ahead of the curve, be prepared to answer any questions, and have rationale that supports his coaching points.

In terms of a working partnership, Frazier and Hurts appear to be clicking, establishing a connection that could potentially ease the transition.

“It’s awesome,” Frazier added. “I mean, he is dedicated to winning and wants to do whatever it takes to win more than any quarterback that I’ve been around. He is phenomenal in the room, asks really good questions, always wanted more. He’s a sponge. So, he’s been great.”

Hurts echoed that sentiment.

“Parks has been great,” he said on the final day of mandatory minicamp. “I’m excited to see what the summer brings and what training camp brings, so we can just continue to grow.”
