Offensive coordinator John Morton, defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard and special teams coordinator Dave Fipp spoke to the media Thursday ahead of Detroit’s matchup Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field against the Philadelphia Eagles. Here are my 10 biggest takeaways from those media sessions:
1. Morton supports head coach Dan Campbell’s decision to take over offensive play calling duties. He said there are things he must learn with some of the sequencing and rhythm Campbell wants on offense, and he’s approaching it as a learning opportunity.
“I totally support it,” Morton said Thursday. “Listen, man, I’ve been doing this for a while. I’ve been with head coaches who are offensive guys and play callers. So, I’m used to that. I feel very prideful of the things I was doing. There’s some things I got to learn, no doubt, just like everyone else.
“Listen, I want to do whatever it takes to win. As soon as he said it, I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s go. What do we have to do?’ That’s the way I’ve always been in this business. You just march on because it’s always about the team.”
