Jalen Hurts Concerns, Bo Nix Paradox, & Dante Moore Hit Controversies

Well, your preseason Philly take is turning out pretty good.

Much the opposite of my preseason Houston.

Oh,

same.

Oh, dude, I loved Houston.

I loved them.

We'll talk about Houston a little bit.

I loved them, too.

They have betrayed me, Mitch.

Yeah, Philly's obviously not looking so great.

It's just...

I think they want to take this offense into the new style of the NFL, which is not necessarily to rely on a quarterback to run a zone read system, especially as he's getting a little bit slower and a little bit less effective.

And as quarterbacks age out, you don't want to have them running five to eight read plays per game where they're exposing themselves to hits.

And again, Jalen's more of kind of a straight line guy, not really a juke guy.

So Lamar can kind of make that work because he can avoid contact.

Jalen's not quite like that.

So...

Yeah, it's frustrating.

And then the flip side is you didn't really see the Eagles' pass rush do much.

That's one area that you just kept waiting for them to make Keenum move off the spot or get to him or whatever.

I know he was getting rid of it really quick, but I was surprised that the Eagles' defensive front also wasn't able to do much positive.

So it just feels like a bit of a disaster.

Now, what, two years ago, I was saying blow the whole thing up and fire Sirianni, and then they went and won a bunch of games in a row and I think won the Super Bowl that year.

So I'm not really ready to fully write them off yet, but I think this is, you know, pretty low for even, you know, low expectations.

So, Philly's offense is 20-25.
