Nick Sirianni Breaks Some Bad News to Eagles' Stars Ahead of Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles started off the 2024 season with a bang. They defeated the Green Bay Packers 34-29 to begin the year off 1-0. That gave fans a little taste of how explosive the offense can be.

In the offseason, the Eagles added Saquon Barkley to an offense that already has AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert.

They are loaded and head coach Nick Sirianni revealed that the target share will vary on a weekly basis.

Eagles News: Nick Sirianni Discusses Offensive Gameplan Going Forward

When talking to reporters, Sirianni says the team will not be able to distribute the ball evenly due to the abundance of weapons they have on the offensive end.

"It's impossible to be consistent in that. Every game plan runs through those guys. Every game plan in the pass game will run through AJ, DeVonta, and Dallas, and the run game plan is going to run through Saquon. To be consistent with that would mean that teams aren't going to focus their attention to one guy. "

Sirianni added, "That's why you get so excited when you see AJ and DeVonta celebrating with each other after a big play, after a touchdown. Or how enthusiastic Dallas and AJ are when they're getting blocks for Saquon during his run. Because it truly is ‘Who is going to have the hot hand that day? What is the defense focusing on? Where are they giving you these opportunities to go with the football?’ And it's going to take all of them to have the type of season that we want to have and to be consistent. It's going to take every one of them to be consistent there and to be able to handle the highs and lows throughout the season of how the ball comes to you.”

And what he says is correct. The Eagles have one of the deepest offensive units in the league. So at times, it will be difficult to get everyone involved in every matchup.

There will be certain weeks where the target share will be different but that's the beauty of having a deep offense like this.

In Week 1, offensive coordinator Kellen Moore did a good job getting everyone included in the gameplan. Brown had five receptions for 119 yards and a score. Smith reeled in a team-high seven catches for 84 yards. Goedert notched four receptions for 34 yards. And Barkley dominated in his debut, recording 24 carries, 109 rushing yards, 23 receiving yards, and three total scores.

That will happen throughout the year but Sirianni wanted to let his guys know it may not be like that every week. You just have to be ready when your number is called and be ready to produce.
