Mannion was hired to fix Eagles' run game for Hurts play-action, but it hasn't worked.

Jalen Hurts is the focal point of Philadelphia's offense under new play caller Sean Mannion, who was hired to improve the run game and set up play-action passing; however, the source notes the Eagles' run game has not improved and the offense has reverted to Nick Sirianni's year-to-year approach rather than Mannion's intended ambitious passing scheme.
