Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is excited to play in his new offense.

The Eagles fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and hired former Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as their new OC. Mannion comes from the Mike Shanahan coaching tree, and Johnson told former NFL players Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth on the “Fitz and Whit“ podcast on March 18 that the zone run scheme and bootleg passing game will add a level of ease for the 14th-year pro.
