The Eagles’ offensive coordinator was asked about interviewing in Carolina, as well as preparing for the blitz and Jalen Hurts’ progress as a player and person.
The Eagles returned to practice on Wednesday, and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson spoke with reporters about the need to prepare better for blitzes, which they’ll see a lot of on Monday, as well as how Jalen Hurts has grown on and off the field. He was also asked about allegations that he was a candidate for the Panthers’ head coaching job, but he didn’t say anything about it.
Johnson stated that they always consider their players’ health when preparing for a game, but at the end of the day, playing those 17 regular season games was all it took to get to this stage. Their playoff berth is all that matters right now, and they’ll need to have a fantastic strategy and execute at a high level, so they all understand the importance of getting that done.
Here’s what else the OC had to say:
On reports he is up for Panthers HC job
“I have no comment. All of my focus is about this week and we got a great opportunity, with a special group of people, to go out there and put on a great performance against Tampa Bay. And, that’s where all of our focus and energy is at the moment.”
