The Philadelphia Eagles may face major changes following the Super Bowl LIX victory, but the future still looks bright.

On the latest episode of “Inside The Birds,” Adam Caplan and Geoff Mosher discussed the takeaways from the combine press conferences of personnel chief Howie Roseman and Head Coach Nick Sirianni.

Team Future

Geoff Mosher: “Last year at the end of 2023, they had this collapse and a lot of aging players on the roster. Some of them were still good, but they were long in the tooth and Howie stood up at the podium last year and he said they’re going to have to play young players and develop them because they drafted them…I think Howie felt pretty good about the Eagles going into the year but I don’t know if he saw the team that was going to thrash the heck out of the Chiefs in the Super Bowl because the defense was so young and there were so many question marks…the byproduct of that is you can now feel pretty good about going into next year because you had so many young, good players develop.”

Adam Caplan: “If you look at (Cooper) DeJean, he’s well ahead of schedule, Quinyon Mitchell well ahead of schedule, Reed Blankenship has already established himself as an undercover really good football player. (C.J.) Gardner-Johnson revived his career, he’s only 27. Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens is a young football player A.J. Brown turns 28 in June, Jordan Mailata turns 28 in March.”

Zack Baun

Caplan: “If [a new deal] gets done, which is very realistic, they’re going to be paying him big-time money.”

Tush Push

Mosher: “I have been saying ever since the Eagles started doing it that this thing was eventually going to get outlawed and banned…Sirianni made a pretty strong defense to keep it.”

Kevin Patullo

Mosher: “(Nick Sirianni) tried to explain to reporters that even though he has never been a playcaller before, he has been involved in the playcalling process at times during gameday, but so is everybody.”

Caplan: “The one thing I would have liked Nick to address is what kind of scheme are you going to run? We still think it’s going to be, more or less, the one they had last season. But Parks Frazier has no experience in Kellen Moore’s system, Patullo does from last year.”
