#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts addressed the A.J. Brown trade, the ESPN story from April about him, his contract and other topics today:
On the A.J. Brown trade and Brown saying they weren’t as close, but that he wishes him all the best:
“I’m not in the place to challenge anyone’s perspective on anything, seemingly so, it was. That’s where I am. I’ve always been focused on the collective. I’ve always put my energy towards that. As a leader, I’ve always put an onus on giving maximum effort to achieve the shared mission we have on the team.”
Any disappointment with how it ended for A.J. with the Eagles:
“You come into it and you have a sense of pride with how it began, and definitely what we were able to accomplish. … Nothing can take that away. For the great things that we did, now it’s time to focus on achieving great things with this iteration of the team.”
On the ESPN story that characterized Hurts as being resistant to change, among other things:
“I’ve never really asked for an opportunity to respond to anything. So just let it live and go do my job.”:
On if he asked for the “four verticals” last play of the season, as reported in the ESPN story:
“Nah. No.”
On his being resistant to change:
“I’m always open to growth. I’m always open to improving. I think a lot of it is what do we put our time on task? What are we exhausting? What are we repping. And so, I’m looking forward to seeing how training camp goes so we can just continue to build on the foundation that we’re beginning to lay down.”
On his contract and if there is a restructure coming:
“For me, I’m truly focused on being the best I can be right now. That’s where my energy is. There’s a lot of change as is. I’m focused on this offense. I’m focused on building with Sean [Mannion] and being my best.”
In Kellen Moore's offense in 2024, when Jalen needed to make a pass, there were concepts exactly needed for that situation, and the play was executed. If Jalen saw a shift in the safety or a hand signal from an LB he recognized from film, the pre-snap adjustments were made for specific times, and they were executed well; it brought Jalen clearer reads, play-action success, & good pace and timing. Kellen Moore's passing scheme improved Jalen Hurts' rushing ability by spacing the field, simplifying pre-snap reads, and forcing defenses to honor the pass.
And that’s the reason why I’m so excited for Sean Mannion's offense because he spoke on this in his first press conference: under center, bootleg, situational football,
The exact concept for the big play is a match made in heaven for me because all those things are to J. Hurt's strengths. Last time we saw Jalen Hurts with a coordinator that knows how he wants to run the game he won the Super Bowl & the MVP.
Many people still don’t realize that literacy isn’t just about being able to read. It’s about being able to comprehend, evaluate, and apply the information in front of you. The gap between the two is becoming increasingly alarming.
😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

Lets make this viral again 👇
my dad got a hospital bill last month.
went in for chest pain. stayed 2 nights. nothing serious.
the bill was $34,000.
insurance covered $21,000
