We all know Jalen Hurts is breed of 1. Competitor unlike any other. He doesn't owe us or the media anything. No explanation, statement, interview.

That being said...

I really, REALLY want to know what is going through his mind and how he is really feeling right now.

#Eagles

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

I needed a flashback to this beautiful moment after all the crap we've been through in just 6 weeks...

What's the greatest trick play in football history?

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Eagles have been lacking a dominant outside CB duo for far too long to just get rid of Riq Woolen after a lost season where everything else went wrong.

I'd like to see Howie try to keep Woolen on an extension and pair him with Quinyon.

Drake Maye???

Eagles pass rush:

- Pressure rate: 29nd
- Sack rate: 31st
- Quick Pressure rate: 32nd
- Avg. Time to pressure: 27th

Bad.

Hurts has spent the majority of his career in the NFL making up for schematic and design flaws of Sirianni and multiple OCs.

"Everyone loves the backup until they see the backup"...

#Eagles

[Fran Duffy @FDuffyNFL]

HUGE issue that will only be compounded moving forward if not fixed. Why?

Per @NextGenStats Jalen Hurts took 2 unblocked sacks this season. On Sunday? Tanner McKee took 3.

Hurts wasn't creating huge positives vs those unblocked rushers but he was avoiding negative explosives

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Mailata's shit year:

- First he loses Stout, the coach who taught him football

- Second he loses Lane, his career mentor

- Then Dickerson to IR, his best friend, and who knows if he'll ever return to form

- Finally Hurts, the QB he absolutely loves

Hope he holds up

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Sixers opening their season by ruining Knicks' banner night in MSG was exactly what Philly sports needed right now.

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Two OL stats that explain why the Eagles horrific offense:

- Worst in yards before contact
- Worst in unblocked pressure rate (50% more than the 2nd worst)

Maybe pissing off a historic OL coach into leaving was a bad move...

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

Sources: #Eagles WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is a name that teams seeking WR help believe could be traded in the coming weeks.

Brown is healthy, has a 1,000-yard season on his résumé and recorded 49 catches for 587 yards and 5 TDs with the Chiefs last season. He hasn’t had much of an opportunity in Philadelphia.

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Eagles waive/release 3 RBs (Steele, Blue, Wheeler).

Trending towards Saquon Barkley playing vs Cowboys on MNF.

#Eagles

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

The comeback is going to be special

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

On every 5th play, Eagles allow a free rusher at the QB.

Double the amount of league average.

The scheme sucks and you can thank Sirianni for not having Stoutland around to correct it.

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Cowboys aren't missing anyone and still got whooped in primetime.

Dak was a phantom roughing away from throwing 3 subs and no TDs...

[Kalshi Sports @KalshiSports]

JUST IN: The Dallas Cowboys now have a 50% chance on Kalshi to win the NFC East.

Are any of the Giants, Eagles, or Commanders still being slept on?

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

With Colts firing their GM, Shane Steichen could be next in line.

Should the Eagles bring him back?

#Eagles

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Already seeing some of this so let's shut it down immediately:

The Eagles are NOT trading DeVonta Smith.

He is probably the last player on the roster they would move.

#Eagles

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Seeing former Eagles players like Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens stand up for Jalen Hurts is honestly awesome.

#Eagles

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

Smitty seems tired.

Can't blame him.

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

For years i thought Sirianni didnt want to give anything away.

Im now convinced he simply doesn't know...

[Eric Sidewater @EaglesXsandOs]

For his entire career, Nick Sirianni has done the “I’m not going to talk about scheme” dance.

For years, we chalked it up to typical coachspeak. Why reveal anything that might give opponents a competitive advantage?

Meanwhile, some of the best coaches in football routinely break down schemes, concepts, and tactical decisions in remarkable detail without compromising that advantage.

At some point, it’s fair to wonder whether Sirianni’s guardedness is less about protecting schematic secrets and more about protecting himself from having to demonstrate his understanding of them.

The longer the Eagles’ offensive issues persist, the more reasonable it becomes to question whether Sirianni is withholding those answers or simply doesn’t have them.
