That Jalen Hurts touchdown run where hes not touched: Jalen admitted it was a fake pre snap check to make the linebacker go into pass protect mode. Commanders probably also thought it would be dumb if they ran it, like JT did. Thats the point. Thats why it worked.
But Jalen can’t read a defense
It's called a dummy call.. you make the D think your changing the call so if they knew what u were doing now they think you aren't anymore
@@marrandamarin7495 It is a dummy call because if the D does not fall for it you look like a dummy
That plus if the eagles just let the backside D lineman go then its 6 on 6 and Jalen getting to the 2nd level. Like I know this guy knows more than most people watching, but its "a numbers game" and doesn't account for the fact that you see the eagles routinely let the backside lineman go free
Was a great call. Not sure what the issue is here
I felt like the play calling on offense in this game was nearly perfect. Hurts has been playing mistake free football all year, so it's nice to see him get a game where he got to air it out a little more
You’re killing our LG that’s hurt playing C that was also hurt 😂
You can acknowledge it's a tough assignment but also acknowledge that he's not doing it very well
@@moose4ku440not that he’s not doing it but he physically CANT do it at that moment
@ true i just though it was funny
Deadass tho he’s destroying ppl that are playing injured and out of position without even mentioning that part, I usually like this guys vids but he’s definitely being over critical in this one
bro is literally limping off the field lol
The check on the lead draw was a dummy check to a pass play then he checked again to the draw. When he says reload and spins his hands he went back to the draw. If I had to guess it was to make wagner audible to coverage to get him out of the play for the draw.
That’s just genius 🫣🦅🦅
That's actually genius.
love this explanation
That's the kind of creativity we love to see
Worth mentioning- starting center Cam Jurgens didn’t play the first half and they slid Dickerson from LG to C. Great breakdown as always
People try to discredit Hurts by saying his o line is invincible. He’s got two guys playing out of position here. draft bust Mekhi Becton looks like an all pro in front of him. Hall of fame center retires and they don’t miss a beat. His o lines always looks as good as they do in large part because he sets them up to succeed.
@@MrRyan-wu4jxthey’re very good. But they’re definitely not flawless. They get beat too.
They discredit Jalen because he runs out of a clean pocket multiple times per game into a pass rusher 1:43 . Last Sunday was his best game of the season. Hopefully a sign of what’s going to happen in a couple weeks.
JT!! Jalen went 20/28 with like 4 throw aways… 2 sacks taken… none of us fans were frustrated, not this week anyways. Might I add, Jalen is not the tallest… I think trying to see over those 5 mountains could be a hidden obstacle.
It is
It 100% is an unspoken obstacle he has to overcome
That was Landon first time starting at center since college
And he could barely walk
@@dkb138 right
I love when people say "but if this or that didn't happen 4 times in this game it would have been closer" like yeah no shit
cool
all this what if this what if that nowadays is a joke itself.
I agree with you when the talking heads say it just for TV content but I was JT's videos to see the critics and the praise. He's shown plays that were almost INTs with everyone blaming Hurts but was actually AJ taking a play off. Then he shows plays where Hurts made the wrong decision. I want to know the truth of every play.
if you take away 20 of jalens completions he’s 0-28 terrible performance
Of all football breakdown channels I gotta say yours is my favorite as you show and explain things perfectly
lol jalen is the only qb that has to see every single read every single time
It never freaking fails
Is this the first video you've ever watched on this channel?
I watch JT break down other QBs. I dont think its that ppl are biased towards Hurts, but I do believe theres a spotlight on his processing that everyone has their antennas up to. Like a RB who always picks the wrong hole. Like the WR whos routes arent very sharp. When analyzing them, people will subconsciously look towards these things that they might not do with others. I dont think JT is biased. Its just this is what is widely known from Hurts and some of that is his fault, the rest of it is sports. In sports, people are given certain deficiencies and those stick with them unless they go above and beyond to get rid of them.
Literally, this is not even an exaggeration
@@iPACIFICALLYsaid If JT was so good, he’d be working for an NFL team, it on TH-cam being a hater.
The turnover weren't just Commander mistakes. Correct me if i'm wrong but 3 of the 4 turnovers were balls that got punched out of carriers hands.
About your questions regarding Jalen checking into a run against an unfavorable box, Saquon commented afterward that some of their checks were bluffs because they saw in the second game WAS changing up when they checked out of a play. That would explain this situation -a fake check to entice Wagner into dropping because he anticipated a pass check.
THATS MY QUARTERBACK. GO BIRDS.
All world QB unleashed from his straitjacket on display right here
The explosiveness of Jalen from 22 has changed into a very efficent, minimze mistakes. I feel like hes definitely gotten better at throwing the ball away through the season.
I’m 20 minutes in and I swear he’s ripped hurts more in this game than the last 2 when he thru for sub 130. Im no expert but personally if hurts plays like this again I think the eagles win handedly in 2 weeks
You’d think we were on the losing end of this game by the way the first half of this video is going to be
He’s done this Jalen breakdown before even in victory he’s criticized like no other!! The media as a whole is comical not JT specifically.
And why does he not have any maholmes analysis vids.....
I think the point of these qb analysis videos is to mostly point out their mistakes. It doesn’t seem much like an analysis if the whole video is him saying, “wow Hurts played a perfect game and made no mistakes”
@@McMango05 Yeah guaranteed that they see this film too and are coming to similar conclusions. This is film study, every single thing should be scrutinized to improve
Pretty critical of Jalen’s small mistakes including pass protection that he correctly determined. Can’t wait for the Josh Allen breakdown this week, that guy was a mess.
No he wasn't. He was bad in the first drive but then good for the most part the rest of the way out
@ eh he was terrible that first drive. Had at least 2 turnover worthy plays and went rogue on the qb sneak, you never go high if there’s any sort of push to a qb sneak. He also didn’t correctly call out the pass protection on the 4th down, would’ve been a huge play for his team but he missed the protection.
Thanks JT. Really enjoyed the details of this one. Always learn so much.
saying if turnovers and penalties didnt happen is completely discrediting what the team did. they forced the turnovers and got penalties from outplaying the person in front of them
Meh.
@@TheQBSchool what else do you call punching the ball out of a carriers hand? Thats creating a turnover, not being magically gifted one.
@@TheQBSchooldid you even watch the game? All of the turnovers were 100 pct forced by the Eagles.
The Eagles won by over 30 points and Jalen had 4 total TD’s and you’d literally never know if watching this tape
Yea what’s up w ppl , like saying “if Saquan doesn’t break ten tackles and score three times the game would’ve been closer they lost by fckn 32 points bro omg ppl just hate the eagles 🦅 I get it
In this case, you are especially right. The Eagles actively forced those turnovers and kept the game out of reach.
The "if" part *should* come next week, since a team in the SB team is expected to take much better of the ball. I'll gladly be wrong though
JT I’m pretty sure that in their QB draw TD (34:40) they are running a stick RPO with Goddert. Wagner is the read key, you can see Hurts peeking at him right before taking off. Great video as always!
Wagner not a cover guy
Wagner: goes into coverage
Love watching Jalen silence the detractors and the offense put on an absolute clinic. Talk about peaking at the right time.
Watch the video next time.
Did you watch the video?
Absolutely 💯 he’s a winner and that bothers the masses!! Great video and great game Qb1 we support you GG. The young man is 26 his story isn’t written yet haters!!💚😍
I suggest you at least watch from 43:00 on. Is JT a hater too? He clearly explains why Jalen can be frustrating at times.
First game he's played decent in like months. He's inconsistently consistent which is real bad for how much money we're paying him. And 1 game doesnt mean he's not gonna revert back to eating big ass sacks trying to extend plays.
The Commanders did a lot of self-defeating in this one for sure, but it's also true that the Eagles did a ton of things right.
Yep. If anything, they were forced into those mistakes.
I understand the criticism, but a LG playing out of position and only had a week to practice in said position while also playing hurt I think we can agree that was bound to happen. My thing is they still won by over 30 with their LG playing center for a half and a backup LG, not to mention in the 2nd half Cam who had an injured back which any oline men knows it's very difficult to play like that and they still created lanes that's amazing
Kellen Moore's playcalling has been unimpressive most of the year, but I thought this was maybe his best game of the season.
💯
Great analysis! I appreciate the thought that he's not getting to the backside. I think Hurts is trigger shy from his turnover extravaganza last year.
Good! That’s winning football in January! Every team who has protected the football has advanced each round.
Most qbs don't get to back side in today's game. It's 1st read, 2nd them scramble and find someone.
all them tight window throws you want him to throw could potentially be an int. i’m more comfortable with him not throwing that. not frustrated at all with our qb who has made the super bowl 2 times in 3 years
The hot reads have always been a problem. It’s a schematic issue and Nick refuses to fix it. As far as why he won’t make certain throws/reads. He’s risk averse. He had it drilled into him at Alabama and Nick wants it the same way. It’s been a great formula for winning thus far.
Dope show bro! Thoroughly enjoy your breakdowns 🫶🏾
To be fair, it should be illegal to have Grant as an integral part of the blocking scheme. The play at around 25 minutes with the blown pass pro is right before Dickerson gave up for the game, and Jurgens came in with a beat up back. That left knee with its big ol' brace is pretty obvious. He just couldn't do what was asked of him. That's on the OC.
Love these videos
I mean that draw check is asking can Jalen beat bobby in a foot race to the pylon with a head start. Of course he can. Plus its 1st down, no bigger a risk than a fade
46:20 - part of the reason Saquon had this great run is how the WRs block in the Eagles run game. Right about the point I give in that timestamp, AJ Brown is about to engage in a block that takes out multiple defenders - that helps to spring the play. And then further downfield Jahan Dotson is running interference so that the players chasing Barkley can’t get close enough to stop him.
Saquon got golf carts as a gift for each of the O linemen; he probably owes the WRs some token gift because they have blocked for him all season.
23:39 Jalen is expecting Dickerson to block Wagner, and Gainwell to block luvu, or vice versa. What he doesn’t expect is for luvu to come in unrushed. Hurts made the correct move by scrambling immediately. I’d rather him do something that he knows he can do, rather than letting luvu blast him just so he can get a slant to AJ. I understand that hurts rolls out early and too much at times, but it was a necessity here, otherwise he’d be flattened like a pancake.
15:53 What I didn’t like about this play call was that we had Calcuterra in pass protection. Calcuterra is a horrible blocker. I feel like Goedert would have done a better job with picking up that blitz. Imo it was the wrong call for the personnel they had on the field.
or right call but wrong personnel at that point
I’d agree and honestly this where losing Uzomah to IR and Stoll to the Dolphins hurts. But even if Calc isn’t a good blocker if the communication is better he can still help out. Like he doesn’t need to block and hold he just needs to chip/slow him down a bit so the throw to Saquon can be made
@@RandomGuyCDN we’re saying the same thing pretty much just changing the order of operations.
@@DGoose512Uzomah is also an awful blocker, but letting Stoll go was an uncharacteristically stupid personnel decision. Think they could get Gronk to unretire for a game? 😂
@ He is but slightly better than Calc. And you know I’m the NFL small margins are big lol. And man I wish. Although I think not going hard for Ertz signature this offseason was another weird mistake. Feel like there’s something there with either Nick or Howie cause usually that’d be a no-brainer
This might be the first time I've seen the ref play analyzed on the channel. Love it haha
I refer people to your channel and mention your name as much as possible! Great content!!! 🎉
thanks. appreciate it
Did some digging on the 3rd quarter QB Draw. JT the original play was the QB draw. When Jalen comes to the line he audibles and then when seeing Bobby Wagner’s reaction he reloaded the QB draw. I think they were actually just all over the Commanders defense. Jalen saw something that told him 54 was dropping. It was very quickly snapped after this. Watch it on the TV broadcast you’ll see!
On that Qb Lead Draw play I thought it was pretty obvious what the Commanders were doing on defense. They were running a box coverage on the trips with Lattimore in MEG coverage on AJ and Luvu and Chin bracketing Saquon with whoever didnt take Saquon helping Lattimore on any inside cut from AJ. You can tell the trips is being covered by a box because they are giving free releases to everyone and Lattimore is in press man on AJ. This is a really common defense and knowing the rules and leverage of all the players is why they had Jurgens block chinn instead of Luvu is they wanted to make sure the Commanders cudnt force Jalen to run up the middle where Wagner cud get him. This is a really popular Nick Saban special but tbh Idk who invented it or made it popular.
Nice Catch
8:15 my rebuttal for you calling one of the decisions questionable is that Jalen learned from a lost down, then later lured Washington into the same coverage and made the Commanders pay on with a bomb to A.J. Brown. Though what you said about the first attempt was fair, since there was definitely a window for the other targets.
The interesting this is there has been very minimal GOOD play calling like this game throughout the year. Seems like Kellen Moore was toying around with the offense every week. Maybe they finally figured it out!
Maybe moreso he had a feeling that the Eagles could coast until late in the postseason. Kellen seemed to be digging in the bag for the first time all season asides from the under center FB run looks they started to trickle in early on
I like the constructive criticism comment, "Same as the earlier play but he just doesn't THROW it. We know he CAN do it from the earlier play, but he just doesn't here. That's maybe part of the frustration people feel."
This is the truth. But if you mention that to the fanboys their sphincters immediately tighten.
@@TheDoodAbideshe was 20-24 w/o throw away cut him a break dam , he literally 1 best qbs In the game w his flaws like dam who do we want Jesus at qb 🤦🏽♂️
Criticize turnovers. Criticize losses. Criticizing a clean game that was a high scoring playoff win? No thanks. @@TheDoodAbides
@@lilgates999No, throughout the season the fair criticisms of Hurts have been similar to this, not seeing designed options. He play great against the Commanders. But I see your sphincter tightened on cue.
@@EvilDarkskinYou can critique not seeing plays develop as you are trained. You know they are doing that in a film session. I’m talking about throughout the season. Hurts had a great game against the Commanders. But like one of the simps here you are getting offended about nothing.
I just realized you never to patrick mahomes analysis..... llol
i think that is probably on his patreon. think only some of the film breakdowns get uploaded to youtube.
Bobby Wagner is fishing and Stoutland is our Run Game Coordinator 🤷🏼♂️
Great breakdown and I'm so happy to see you call BS on the contention that the hit on Barkley wasn't a penalty. That play is a penalty 10 times out of 10 in this league for 50 years.
I found it somewhat odd too, they were trying to call out that potential hold on saquon. Yet they didn't show when Aj was held or whenever the oline was holding carter. Not too surprised because it sounded biased in favor of the opp, as most do when its a eagles game 😅. same weird calls that second game vs Washington but I digress.
It was definitely a bizarre mention on the telecast as that was tame compared to all the clutching, grabbing and hooking that goes on during a game.
He knew he had man free 6 manbox in the 3x1 look even up for the O. Great call .
…just because they DONT do something doesn’t mean they can’t.
Do a Mahomes breakdown for the first time in months. Give the people some knowledge
On the Hurts touchdown run, I think you missed that he reads Wagner, Wagner drifts away, then Jalen runs. I suspect they knew the tendencies, and if Wagner plays the run, the ball goes to Goedert.
You looking at the whole box, they split it in half, now look at it
What's your opinion on the impact it has on Jalen having a new OC calling plays every year? (Besides 2021-22)
LETS GO BRO!
keep in mind we had our starting guard playing center for the first half.
Jurgens and Dickerson will be fully healed before the Super Bowl. The protection will get more consistent
11:34 liking the absolute honesty
37:50 maybe he couldn't see past the LB pannicked. Honestly with his size not sure how he ever sees those throwing lanes.
Best in the business #qbschool
I can’t watch a game, especially the Eagles, without looking at my wife and verbally saying things ‘buddy ball’
Did y'all catch the pancake block Barkley made at the 13:52 mark of the second qtr?
Excellent summary at the end of the video; bottom line is that in order for the birds to win, the D must be better than two years ago. The good news is that their roster is better and of course Fangio is a massive upgrade vs last time. The line at PHL +1.5 is pretty good and reflects how close the teams are together with the experience, creativity of Reid and company and Spaggs to bring the exotic looks which gives them an overall edge. Expect to see a close game and KC denied their shot at 3 peating as Barkley ultimately crushes their hopes and dreams.
Eagles counter game is insane. Seen it bust Barkley big all year long. This time Shipley got a piece
I’m just here cause i know how these video play out he had a good game but not good enough😅
I think he breaks it down like the coaches and players will after the game. Got to learn from the mistakes and improve. Playing in the SB against the Chiefs there is no room for error. Go Birds.
@@romangladiator8517 that Chiefs defense also let James Cook rush for 85 yards. Imagine what Saquon will do. And they say Jalen has better weapons and Allen still managed 237 yards passing. Imagine what Jalen will do with better weapons. Lol Don't give too much credit to that defense.
My QB is not perfect. But his team believes in him and he is playing within himself. 1 More Game.... LETS GO !!!
Thank god the bills lost, the prostate pushing bowl would’ve been so ugly
You do understand that was our LG playing Center for most of the game, right? That was our ALL-PRO LG Landon Dickerson. Cam plays differently, as the Chrefs will learn.
It was a fake check at the line, on that Jalen TD run. A built in bluff to make the Commanders D think the same thing you just did: "No way they'd check into a run against a loaded box"
Wosh they'd do that post/wheel more. Rarely see it.
Really‽ everyone runs it.
JT who you got winning the bowl
Dawg please give Jalen a ring us eagles fans are losing our sanity lmaoo
When you watch tape of Maholmes, is it so much cleaner and flat out better than Jalen’s ?
He also has an offensive savant as a coach.
@ wasn’t much of a savant with prime Vick, prime desean, prime shady, that bum … I don’t like Andy. Sorry. But you right
@@0614dirbecause he refused to be balanced back then. He would get pass happy with McNabb and Vick. He wasted McCoy's and Westbrooks prime.
Way too over critical at times but so is always the case with Hurts for some reason, felt like he had a way better game this game and you were way less critical last game, either way great video though
Duddddeeee pleeeassseee do Stafford’s eagles game
He made so many great throws💯💯
Love your breakdowns but 14:35 mark is just wrong. Dickerson was on one leg and just missed his damn block bro. He was compromised fuck him not being the normal center he was hurt and missed his guy. He played it off but being on one knee Luvu timed it perfectly and beat him can’t be on Jalen cmon
First part of video was great. When he started complaining about the play of the center on those sacks, he was wrong for a couple reasons. Dickerson is not the starting center, so the problems are not systemic. Also, my man could barely walk and was gutting it out for the team. I did agree when he started to hint that the offensive coordinator should be smarter with play calling, because he knows the injury and he knows Washington will target the middle of the line. If the injuries continue to nag our center and guard, the Eagles will need to be smarter in play calls and protection schemes.
He checked into a draw and they totally fell for it hook line and sinker. Three quarters of the defense were going backward when he ran. I am not seeing the logic on that one.
Bro, Kc is gonna eat leather in the Superbowl. Their defense is not all that special. Jalen protects the football.There’s 30 QBs in Cancun.Stop tripping on Jalen.
They r already the greatest dynasty ever by being the only back 2 back champ to go to a third Super Bowl in a row
35:20 thats a rpo too. Maybe he knew the LB had to cover the TE.
Another great breakdown, unfortunately it didn’t leave me feeling better about the bird next week.
It was the physical EAGLES DEFENSE with ripping…punching balls into fumbles that won the game!
Calcaterra isnt exactly a good blocker not sure why theyre using him in such a weird pass pro at 14:15
Love the channel i truly do, but ripping the winning QB the way u are when he made plenty of great plays(20-28) is crazy to me.. post a video breakdown of your best game in the league if you have 1 and then rip yourself on the shitty plays bro
that’s the point of the vid it’s a full perspective on the qb play and he did do that it was great watch bc he was critical of himself like he was jalen hurts
39:21 it’s almost like the LG ( started at center injured his knee and couldn’t really move to end the first half ) wasn’t in and couldn’t actually go physically make the block . Idk maybe I’m reaching
fan bases of the qb being critiqued always get so sensitive and can’t remove their bias and look at it objectively
At 20:11 AJ is wide open even though he still throws to Saquon who is covered. You don't mention that AJ is open and looking at Hurts while he's scrambling. I expected you to say AJ should have been his target as he scrambled. Why was he not?
Is that the hot one?
@TheQBSchool are you asking if AJ was the hot route? If so, then no Saquon was, or at least he was by design. I’m just curious why, after a play was already blown up, is Saquon still the hot route even though he’s way more covered than AJ was.
Btw, I’m not criticizing just genuinely wanting to learn.
24:32 jonathon majors meme 😭😭😭😭
JT what you are missing in this is .this is offense talk. He basically playing with the 2025 legion of BOOM lol his job is to NOT mess it it up. The Chiefs are going to be beat because they haven't faced a DEFENSE like this yet. Jalens think about forcing the ball
joeunfamiliar with this channel. this is not D School
you know the name of the youtube channel will let you know you’re in the wrong place
the fact that he like completely forgets about other receivers is absurd...8:50..staring AJ down the whole time didn't pull and had Dotson on crossing route wide open...
Fam he scored 55 points it’s ok 😂
Blowout win btw
@@therondavis896 unless the game is the SB, "Never accept something in a win you wouldn't in a loss". Jalen has been really good. We want him to keep improving
@@TK-ev I agree, however, of all the games he’s played this year this is probably the last one I’d criticize his performance in. If you can outscore a team by 30 points in a championship game I think you’ll be ok
Jalen's gonna do what it takes by giving the ball to Saquon 35 times lol
was a fake check on the qb run play ….jalen said it on the press conference
Thanks for making me feel worse about the SB after that win. I know chiefs are going to blitz like crazy and they are good at it, get in fast. Smh.
They were doing great with hot reads earlier in season, now they are trying to block it again. (The blitz)
The turnovers(and a lot of the penalties) were “stupid mistakes” they were forced…
Wow. Did Jalen Hurts do anything right?
Damn. Y’all eagles fans either whiners or blind.
Why is it always "if this team didnt do the same thing every team has done all season vs the eagles than its a different game"
Cool comment
A lot to clean up for the Eagles but to be honest Eagles are the best team in the nfl they cause players to panick grab late hits fumble it's all manufactured I don't think the chiefs will change it
Link to your fit?
i hate that you showed me ts years ago, for 2-3 years i’ve been screaming at my tv to throw a fuckin hot route against the blitz. big time birds fan and completely agree with the analysis brother
Jalen the only QB that has to have a 100% completion percentage. 🙄. Mahomes and Allen can pass for 150 yds and he will praise them
Soft
@ Weird response. Grow up
@@jsoft_og7065 no it is soft response. Saying grow up is even less mature considering these are fixable issues. They aren't going to baby Hurts in the film room when they point out the missed plays. I prefer the straight shooting presentation so that we all can recognize when he makes enough consistent improvements to hopefully enter the Allen / Mahomes tier of QB.
@ that’s ridiculous. No QB has a 100% completions percentage. If a guy is at 68-70 no way am I going to quibble over every incompletion. Have you listened to the talking heads blaming everyone but Josh for choking AGAIN. you have your opinion, I have mine. .
Out of curiosity, why can’t they fix some of these issues in the next two weeks? Like you have the time to install a few new plays and adjust a route concept or two on some of these plays, no? Or at least practice the plays in your book saved for an aggressive blitzing defense. I just don’t understand why the couldn’t fix some of these things. It’s like coming off a bye week and they are very familiar with Spags’ style
They can, but Spags also has 2 weeks to come up with ways to confuse Hurts and to bait him into bad decisions. One of Hurts's problems is if he's not super comfortable with how a play is going, he holds the ball too long and can start to do things he's comfortable with, which makes him predictable. And a good way to make him uncomfortable is for his pre-snap read to be wrong (and to bring pressure, which Spags does better than almost anyone). Just as the Eagles will do stuff on offense in the SB that they haven't put on tape before, so will the Chief's D.
I am a little worried about what Andy Reid will come up with on offense that we haven't seen. But I am a little more confident in the Reid and Mahomes vs. Fangio chess match than I am in the Spags vs. Hurts and Moore chess match. Spags worries me. Almost as much as the Chiefs' 12th man. Almost. But Spags is a genius at bringing pressure and doing so in exotic and creative ways. And that is something Hurts and our offensive scheme still aren't great at countering.
im assuming the short amount plus installing a new pass pro then having hot answers within your drop back scheme then preparing against a certain blitz package scheme to have certain answers for that is very hard to do
@@brendancurtin679 Hurts’ bad habits and comfort with things I totally understand not being able to fix. But throughout that analysis one constant theme was “not giving Jalen answers” for blitz/pressure. Which to me screams play call and design which I think is more fixable with an extra week of prep. I mean everyone talks about how good Reid is coming off a bye I don’t understand why Moore and Jalen can’t make play design and adjustment fixes with extra prep time. But I’m also a armchair football person lol
I will say Spags does worry me two but two things give me hope. 1. Jalen has done pretty well against Spags in his career and so he’s familiar with what’s coming and 2. There are opportunities to run on that defense which is kind of our specialty. I mean even Joe Mixon avged 4 yards a carry with that awful O line against them. So I think Saquon with a fully rested O line will do some good things. As long as Jalen can be turnover free and keep us out of 3rd and long most of the time I think we’ll be fine. Also that secondary tends to play very aggressive which means opps for Brown, Smitty, and Dallas against CBs that like to grab
@@DGoose512 agreed. The Eagles definitely improved safety nets in *some* of their schemes, but they will have to be diligent over the next week to give Jalen more breathing room since Spags will absolutely try to mitigate the talent gap.
If all I did was listen to this episode I wouldve thought hurts was horrible and the eagles lost. Instead they’re in the Super Bowl.
Hurts checks into an untouched 10 yards TD run “to me this is bad football” lol ok
