The Philadelphia Eagles were close to being 2-0.
It wouldn’t have been a perfect start to the season by any means, but that 2-0 record would’ve been all that mattered.
Now, once again, people are questioning Nick Sirianni’s decision-making, especially in key moments.
With that in mind, former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky shared his two biggest concerns regarding this team.
In his recent appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, the former Detroit Lion pointed out that the Eagles simply cannot stop the run.
That’s a fair assessment, as they’ve allowed opposing teams to put up 157.5 rushing yards per game on them.
But more than that, he doesn’t trust Sirianni and doesn’t think he’s the right guy when it comes to managing a game.
“The Eagles have really two issues: One, they can’t stop the run at all. … Two, I don’t trust Nick Sirianni to manage the game. I don’t trust him in big situations.”

Moreover, he fears that Eagles players might feel the same way.
Truth be told, these are the very same issues that haunted this team last season.
There were rumors about Jalen Hurts and Sirianni not being on the same page and of some turmoil in the locker room, and their defense often crumbled in key moments as well.
Vic Fangio is one of the best defensive coordinators in the game and they have more than enough stars on defense to fix these woes, which is yet another reason why it’s hard to put your finger on what’s going on in Philadelphia.
Winning solves everything, but even with the wins, this team has raised some questions about coaching, and Sirianni might not be there next season if the narrative doesn’t change.
