Eagles’ passing game coordinator Press Taylor preaching quick scoring drives, pushing the ball downfield

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the top young coaching minds in the NFL on their staff and rather than let him hit the open market, Doug Pederson promoted Press Taylor to the role of passing game coordinator.

A big reason for that promotion stems from Taylor innovation in regards to the quick passing game, utilizing guys in open space and dictating matchups based on what’s in the best interest of Carson Wentz and the Eagles.

During a Friday zoom meeting, Taylor sounded less like a ground and pound play-caller and more like a guy who has spent time with Andy Reid and his Brother, Bengals coach Zac Taylor.

Press Taylor spoke like a coach who envisions the Eagles offense resembling the explosive potential of the 49ers or Super Bowl champion Chiefs.

Press Taylor: We want to be known as an offense that pushes the ball downfield, can hit you with quick scoring drives. Think we have personnel for it. … Additions to staff bring great experience, add to what we already do … Jalen Hurts has been as advertised as a learner. pic.twitter.com/kMG61w4Szq

Jalen Reagor, Quez Watkins, and John Hightower offer the Eagles unique weapons that can all do damage in space. Mix that explosiveness in with the dynamic versatility of Ertz and Goedert, and the Eagles have the potential for a top-5 offense in 2020.
