The NFL is primed to open up passing offenses again. The Eagles’ new coordinator had better be ready.

The run-first Eagles should be mindful that they’ve been part of a strategic shift across the NFL. And they should be prepared in case Roger Goodell and the league’s owners try to shift things back to a more pass-heavy game after a season that saw the lowest average passing yards since 2006.
