Part 8/10:
A recurring theme was the team's reliance on a predictable offensive scheme, which opponents have started to exploit. McMullen mentioned that despite a potent passing game, the Eagles' offense has become one-dimensional at times, especially when the run game stalls. He emphasized that last year's success relied heavily on the threat of a dominant rushing attack, which is noticeably absent this season.
The lack of a balanced attack allows defenses to pack the box, making it difficult for the Eagles to establish the run and, consequently, forcing Hurts into more difficult passing situations. The conversation pointed toward a need for strategic adjustments, including evolving the offensive philosophy to better adapt to their current personnel.
