The Eagles defense has been shredded in the last two games by Dallas and KC for 83 points.
And according to the Inky’s Marcus Hayes, head coach Nick Sirianni chewed out defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon during staff meetings earlier in the week:
League sources said Thursday that, after Sunday’s blowout loss to the Chiefs, Eagles rookie coach Nick Sirianni blistered his defensive coaching staff in meetings early this week.
He targeted rookie coordinator Jonathan Gannon in particular.
Sirianni is frustrated at Gannon’s toothless, amorphous scheme; Gannon’s timid calls; and Gannon’s poor utilization of star players like defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and Darius Slay.
“It was some tough conversations in the defensive room this morning,” Sirianni said Monday. This, according to the sources, was an understatement.
