That prompted a question as to the relative lack of throws to running backs last year. Will that change in 2023?

“Your offense is based off of your skill, first of all, and the players that you have,” Sirianni said. “It’s foolish for us to do something that our guys can’t do.
“With that being said, you have these different boxes that you want to be able to check of plays that you know or schemes that you know are important to attack a defense. Those can be supplemented in a lot of different ways as far as the way your backs get touches, the way your tight ends get touches. You can put a receiver in the tight end spot as a number three, or whatever, number two and do some different things.
“So, you can supplement these things different ways, but the harder you are to defend — you’re harder to defend when you have a lot of guys in different positions that can do it so you can be in these different personnel groups and still running similar plays for your quarterback.”
Thus, with Swift on the team and given his ability to make catches out of the backfield, look for the Eagles to take advantage of that skill set. And Swift could diversify the Philly offense, which in turn will make it harder for defenses to shut it down.
