"Unfortunately, it happened. I've been here for five years now, and it's been awesome. I mean, this is such a unique place to coach and play. It's very special. We've been to two NFC championship games. We've won at Lincoln Financial Field, a Super Bowl. The parade is just − it's an amazing atmosphere to be a coach and a player," he said.

"And as coaches and players, we all know that part of our job is to handle criticism. It's perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what's going on, how to fix it, what we're going to do going forward, and we know that. But when it involves your family, obviously it crosses the line. That happened, and at this point, we've just got to move on. We're trying to win. That's all we want to do is focus, whether it's my family, whether it's the team, all we're trying to do together is focus on this week."
Though the offensive line has struggled with injuries, Pro Bowl right tackleLane Johnsoncurrently down with a Lisfranc issue, much of the vocal fan base's wrath has been focused on Patullo.
"When you talk about what happened, I mean ultimately, you want to be able to separate your job from your family. We talked about it before − I said it before − that line was crossed. It was an unfortunate incident, and that's part of it that it happened. Us as a family, we know we've got to stick together," he said.
"To be honest, there's a lot of great people in the community. I have great neighbors. So many people have reached out to my wife and I and our family, and so it's not anything or one specific person. It happened, and we've got to move on from it at this point."

"We've had a great experience here in Philadelphia, and it's a very special, unique place to work," he replied. "I look forward to all the more games we have and finishing strong in the season."
As for Patullo, 44, who's been on Philly's staff since 2021, when head coach Nick Sirianni was hired, he'll call plays from the booth Monday − a change he didn't seem entirely sure was a great idea. He's coached nearly every season in the NFL in some capacity with various clubs since 2007 and was on theIndianapolis Coltsstaff with Sirianni for the three seasons prior to their arrival in Philadelphia.
"I've been on the field for a long, long time," said Patullo. "I don't think I've been in the box since maybe 2011 as a coach. So, it's been a while. I think just the relationship I have with the guys and the communication (on the field) has been good, and we've just got to continue to improve in other areas, and we'll be alright."
