Insightful Observations from Eagles Practice: Jalen Hurts Shines as a Dynamic Playmaker – Inquirer
During practice, when Jalen Hurts makes a break for the secondary, the crowd erupts in excitement, showcasing his ability as a dual-threat quarterback. Wearing a red jersey allows him the freedom to scramble without the fear of being hit, which adds to the thrill of watching him play. A standout moment featured Cam Jurgens executing a well-timed block that demonstrated his athleticism and readiness to fill the role of center. This skill has been evident since his rookie camp, particularly when Jason Kelce was recovering from elbow surgery in 2022. With Jurgens and left tackle Jordan Mailata working together to create lanes, it’s clear that the Eagles are preparing for life after Kelce. Jurgens showcased his prowess by clearing a path for Hurts, even teaming up with Saquon Barkley during drills to illustrate teamwork.

JALEN HURTS INJURY UPDATE: Early observations from Day 1 show that Hurts is maintaining a high level of performance, which is crucial for building momentum. He has displayed remarkable accuracy, with the ball rarely touching the ground. As both a passer and a runner, Hurts has been decisive. While his average time to throw improved from 2021 to 2022, it regressed slightly in 2023; however, it’s encouraging to see him making quicker decisions. Now healthier than last season, Hurts appears significantly faster, especially when evading pressure or making gains on the ground. His standout moment came during a 7-on-7 drill, where he delivered a perfect pass to A.J. Brown for an impressive over-the-shoulder catch, demonstrating his ability to connect under pressure.

Key Takeaways from Eagles Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio’s Thursday Interview – PhillyVoice
#JimmySays: The Eagles made a significant move by signing Huff this offseason with a three-year, $51.1 million deal, which raises questions about his readiness for run downs. Despite this, Huff posted double-digit sacks in 2023 and showcased impressive statistics, including 67 pressures on just 334 pass-rush snaps. The ability to effectively pressure quarterbacks is critical for edge rushers, and Huff has proven he can excel in this area. However, the concern remains whether he can perform consistently across all downs given his substantial contract.
Top Eight Questions for NFL Teams as Training Camp Kicks Off – The Ringer
What strategies will Kellen Moore implement to address the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive challenges? While concerns about head coach Nick Sirianni’s job security seemed exaggerated last season, the collapse that ended 2023 cannot be overlooked. Sirianni is now working with his third set of coordinators in as many years, adding pressure to Jalen Hurts, who is set to operate within a new offensive framework. Maintaining Hurts as a designed runner and leveraging deep shots to A.J. Brown should remain priorities. As camp progresses, I’ll be watching how Hurts adapts to new protections and quickly releases the ball against blitzes, which is crucial for a successful offense. If Hurts can master these aspects, expect a breakout year for slot receiver DeVonta Smith, who thrived under Moore’s previous schemes.
