The Eagles Offense's Success Hinges on Jalen Hurts' Ability to Protect the Football
A Look at the Eagles' New-Look Offense
The Philadelphia Eagles are entering the 2023 season with a new-look offense, led by first-time head coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles have made several significant changes to their offensive scheme, including the addition of wide receiver A.J. Brown and the promotion of quarterback Jalen Hurts to the starting role.Key Additions and Changes to the Offense
The Eagles' most notable offseason addition was the trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans. Brown is one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL, and his presence will give the Eagles a much-needed boost to their passing attack. In addition to Brown, the Eagles also signed running back Miles Sanders to a contract extension and added tight end Zach Ertz back into their plans after trading him to the Arizona Cardinals last season. The Eagles have also made several changes to their offensive scheme under Sirianni. The team is expected to use more 12 personnel (one running back, two tight ends, and two wide receivers) and more pre-snap motion than they did under former head coach Doug Pederson.The Importance of Jalen Hurts' Ball Security
Despite the Eagles' new-look offense, their success will still hinge on the play of quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts is a talented runner, but he has struggled with ball security in his first two seasons in the NFL. In 2021, Hurts threw 9 interceptions and lost 10 fumbles.If Hurts can improve his ball security, the Eagles have the potential to be a very good offense. However, if Hurts continues to turn the ball over, the Eagles will struggle to win games.
