The Facts: HC Doug Pederson has made a number of staff changes this offseason. But none may have been more important than the hiring of the 48-year-old Rich Scangarello. After finishing third in the league in scoring in 2017, the Eagles slipped to 18th in 2018 and 12th last year. They dropped from seventh in total offense in ’17 to 14th the last two years. Pederson has made it clear that he not only wants to get faster, he also wants to find new ways to maximize that speed. Enter former Kyle Shanahan aide Scangarello. According to Inquirer staffer Paul Domowitch, Scangarello was brought in to “Shanahan-ize" the Eagles offense.

Diehards Line:The newcomer will help Pederson incorporate some of the concepts from Shanahan's offense that helped the Niners finish second in scoring, fourth in total yards, second in rushing and fifth in third-down efficiency last season on the way to the Super Bowl. Scangarello is expected to spend a lot of time in the quarterback room, which should be a positive for Wentz. “I’m excited to work with Rich," Wentz said last week. “I’m excited to get his insight and what he can bring to this offense and how we can become more explosive and more dynamic. I can tell in the brief conversations I’ve had with him that he’s a smart guy and that he knows what he’s talking about."
