Devonta Smith Has One Wish for New Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore

The Philadelphia Eagles ushered in a new era after a disastrous collapse in the 2023 season, appointing new coordinators; including former Chargers and Cowboys offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore.

Just a few days into his new job, Moore is already receiving advice including some from standout receiver Devonta Smith on the Up And Adams Show Wednesday.

"Just let us do what we do...," Smith said on the Up And Adams Show in a joint interview with teammate AJ Brown.

The Eagles' offense struggled in the second half of the season under first-year offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, leading to his firing. Despite being eighth in the NFL in total yards, Philadelphia lost six of its last seven games culminating with a 32-9 Wild Card Round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts, coming off a MVP-caliber season in 2022, also regressed under Johnson. While he had similar passing yards and touchdown totals, the 25-year-old threw 15 interceptions compared to just six last season.

This regression trickled down to Smith, who saw 24 fewer targets and reeled in 14 fewer passes than he did last season. However, he still had a productive season finishing with 81 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns.

The 35-year-old Moore is no stranger to the NFC East. Before spending one season with the Chargers, he was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2022. During that time, his offenses were top-four in the NFL in points per game, yards per game, and third-down conversion percentage.
