Doug Pederson was first introduced to the West Coast offense in 1996. Discarded by the expansion Panthers and then the Dolphins for the umpteenth time, the then-quarterback signed with the Packers early that season.
It was only as the third-stringer behind Brett Favre and Jim McMahon, but that first year playing for coach Mike Holmgren, in the system that Bill Walsh had mostly created, started a journey that has Pederson bringing the West Coast offense back to the Eagles some 20 years later.
The Eagles, of course, have primarily had a West Coast-based system for most of the last two decades.
