Breaking Down Hurts 4 Interceptions 3rd and 2, the... Eagles are in Empty. Hurts looks to the top and sees the blitzer, likely believing its Cover 0, which the Chargers showed on the previous drive. He tries to work the juke route to AJ and throws it with blind faith directly into a swarm of defenders. The entire game Hurts attempted to "throw over the middle with anticipation," but it led to erratic results.show more

This legit might be the best play of Jalen... Hurts career so far 4th/5, NFC Championship Game, 2-point game Hurts sees AJ has 1v1 & throws it pretty much immediately, hitting AJ for the 1st down Huge play in the game. Eagles needed Hurts to be on the money and he was. AJ as wellshow more

Jalen Hurts with an absolute DIME to AJ Brown... to potentially win the game. It was, of course, dropped. #Eaglesshow more

Eagles did end up scoring a TD on this... drive but do think this is a good example for the “hurts too conservative” crowd. 1st&20, Dotson isolated and open on the post corner. Hurts looking at him doesn’t throw it AJ open on crosser, not an easy throw to make over LB but possibleshow more

I think #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts left a big... play on the field here to A.J. Brown in the first half. Brown motions to align on the same side as DeVonta Smith, and Smith clears out while Brown runs a deep in-breaker. Hurts seems to look at Brown but turns down the throw and leaves the pocket. Could have even thrown to Jahan Dotson on the corner route at the bottom of the screen.show more

This 2d and 10 play in the 2Q of... the #Eagles-Chiefs game caught my eye live because it was one of a few attempted deep shots, and while Jalen Hurts may have been expected to pull the trigger to DeVonta Smith up top on the dagger/go double move, I questioned the route concepts and spacing on my latest podcast episode with Mike Sielski. I’ve since asked a few impartial sources that are more experts on this sort of thing, and while they both qualified their answers with not knowing intent, etc., they thought, yes, Hurts could have thrown it, but the Chiefs also got him off the first read, and still had safety help over top, although it looked like Smith got him to turn his hips at the break. Jahan Dotson was the No. 2 at the bottom, and he should be separating when Hurts moves off No. 1. Chiefs had him covered, though, in man. Normally, that route can be more intermediate and/or over the middle. Doesn’t have to be, but another source agreed you’d like to have at least an intermediate No. 3 underneath in Hurts’ line of vision. Clearly that wasn’t the case here. Hurts had all sorts of time and no obvious options after 1 and 2. Calcaterra stayed in to chip, and Barkley to block to set up the shot. All makes sense. Perhaps Calcaterra as the No. 3 could have kept going into the void over the middle on an option route? Nothing egregious here. No easy answers. But thought I’d provide more analysis on a play that I questioned live and in the podcast. Either way, the Eagles are struggling to get guys open downfield deep and on intermediate routes and, at least on Sunday, Hurts maybe missed a few early chances. He and Smith told me after the game that they thought they were “chasing it” too often in the first half. Kevin Patullo’s game planning was more conservative in the 2H and that ended up being enough. But he probably knows it isn’t sustainable.show more

Hurts and Smitty connect on 4th down but the... Eagles are forced to punt because of an illegal shift penaltyshow more

Here is the fumble by Jalen Hurts in the... 1Q This is more a great play by Watt than a bad play by Hurts Could argue he should just go down but it was 3rd down so can’t blame him for pushing. Watt with a textbook punch at the ball, which Hurts seemed to be protecting wellshow more

Jalen Hurts stays alive in the pocket and throws... it on the money to A.J. Brown PHIvsBUF on FOX/FOX Oneshow more

hate to break it to eagles fans but the... offensive issues all stem from jalen hurts, can’t operate under center so the run game suffers and the game plan becomes vanilla tooshow more

Just adding the end to this. Landon Dickerson pushes... back to the question about Jalen Hurts "rough ride". The reporter tries to excuse it with "the fans" afterwards. Landon wasn't having any of that. #Eaglesshow more

#Eagles open the game in a pistol condensed formation,... allowing KC to stack the box. Calcaterra completely whiffs on chipping the blitzing cornerback and Granson can't get over quick enoug. Hurts never completes his initial dropback. Fumble. Hurts may have had AJ Brown deep down the field had the timing of the play not been sabotaged by an awful blockershow more

This won’t be on any highlight reel but this... is a very nice play by Hurts on 3rd down Looks to where the play is supposed to go, doesn’t like it, stays calm and goes to his check down. Gainwell turns it into a 1st down.show more

After dropping 4 interceptions today, Packers finally come down... with one. But it looks like Jalin Hyatt stopped running that corner route which led to the pickshow more

Sigh... Eagles' Offense All22 vs. Lions. 1) Going into... this game, we all knew the Lions played the highest amount of man coverage reps in the league (with a lot of press man). Therefore, I wanted to see a lot of bunches, stacks, pick routes, etc. Instead, we got a lot (and lot) of curl routes against press coverage. Hurts throws with great anticipation, the timing is there, but the Lions' CB is all over the curl route. The Eagles' coaching staff makes everything so hard for their players.show more

Hilarious: A reporter asked Jalen Hurts about AJ Brown... potentially being traded and how it would affect the Eagles offense... "I picked the right question to sip on." 💀💀💀show more

Jalen Hurts misses AJ Brown for what really would... have been a game-changing play. Would have been 1stQ points, a big play in the passing game and a big play to AJ. The mood is probably completely different today if he throws it to him. Watching the replay AJ seems very open. Hurts seems to be looking. He has a super clean pocket. Hurts was asked after if he saw AJ and here is what he said: "No, no, I could have definitely alerted him. He popped on the vision. [Panthers CB] Jaycee Horn kind of fell back. Ideally you like to alert him. And the corner falls off, and you high low a flat player there. And [Panthers S Xavier Woods] was the flat player there, he got some depth. Just took my flats." Definitely a missed opportunityshow more

Still can’t get over this throw. Struggled all game... to get something going. Second fourth down of the drive. Game on the line. And Nuss throws an absolute dot to send the game to OT.show more

Saquon Barkley said that Jalen Hurts saw something during... the game that led to this play: “To be honest, we kind of drew that one up. Jalen saw something and asked me if I wanted to run it. I said yeah. Jalen called it and he made it work.” #Eaglesshow more

3rd-and-2 on the first drive of the 3Q. Hate... only trying to get 2 when you need 2, so it starts with the playcall. Love has to buy some time, but he HAS time. He throws this away, to play it safe, but he's got Golden if he stays a half tick more patient.show more
