The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2020 NFL season with a renewed confidence from quarterback Carson Wentz and a bevy of new weapons that should eliminate any talk about No. 11 not being elite.
One of the main reasons for Wentz and other Eagles’ excitement has centered around the addition of quarterback guru and offensive consultant, Rich Scangarello.
Wentz for his part is extremely excited about the move via transcripts from PennLive.
“I’m excited to see his insight and what he can bring to this offense, how we can become more explosive and more dynamic,” Wentz said on a Zoom call. “But what little I have talked to him, I can tell he’s a smart guy and he knows what he’s talking about.”
Scangarello, 48, spent two years as the quarterback’s coach under Kyle Shanahan with the San Francisco 49ers, and he was previously an offensive quality control coach for the Atlanta Falcons when Shanahan was the offensive coordinator.
Scangarello excels in the run game with pre-snap motion and misdirection that Shanahan’s 49ers team performs so well.
Scangarell played a key role in the maturation of rookie Drew Lock, who now looks like the Broncos signal-caller of the future.
Expect Scangarello to tinker with Wentz as a quarterback and add in some of his offensive intricacies with Doug Pederson continuing to call the offense in an aggressive manner.
