Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai is anticipated to hitch Sean McVay’s Los Angeles Rams in a “senior defensive position,” in line with a report from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler.
Desai beforehand interviewed for a number of DC openings however was not employed in that capability.
Nick Sirianni fired Desai after initially demoting him in favor of Matt Patricia through the 2023 season. What gave the impression to be a panic transfer on the time turned out to be a downright catastrophe; the Eagles’ protection fell off a cliff down the stretch.
And so it’s not exhausting to argue that Desai received a uncooked deal in Philly. We’ve famous that, whereas he might not have been a part of the answer shifting ahead, he did present some potential final 12 months:
Desai’s unit was clearly removed from good final season. However to counsel it was all unhealthy previous to his demotion simply isn’t true. He had proven a propensity to make good halftime changes. Living proof: the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, and Kansas Metropolis Chiefs mixed for simply six second half factors towards Desai’s protection.
After scoring 14 factors over the primary two quarters, the Rams had been shut out within the second half towards the Eagles final season. Simply six of their 30 second half performs befell past the 50-yard line. This was a Rams offense that finally completed seventh in offensive factors per recreation.
Desai will get his probability at a “revenge recreation” when he helps the Rams put together to face the Eagles through the 2024 season. The Birds might be going to SoFi Stadium once more this 12 months.
