Eagles’ $100 Million Star Suffers Setback as Vic Fangio Delivers Concerning Update
Sean Mannion’s scheme uses more under-center snaps and play-action, and Hurts could add to his 421 rushing yards from last season.
- Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's new scheme features Jalen Hurts under center with increased play-action and motion. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Tuesday that Hurts executed designed runs multiple times, suggesting a return to his dual-threat form.
- Last season, the Eagles finished 27th in under-center snaps and 29th in motion rate. Hurts' rushing production dropped to just 105 carries and 421 yards, his lowest mark since his rookie year in 2020.
- Wide receiver Elijah Moore, signed in March, caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Hurts during camp. Ten days into training camp, observers note the two-time Pro Bowler's preparation keeps moving forward.
- Mannion confirmed the 'tush push' remains "extremely effective" and will stay in Philadelphia's arsenal. This play helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl in 2022 and win the Lombardi Trophy in 2024.
- The defense could be elite enough to help the Eagles contend for another title. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who lost 10 pounds in the offseason, looks sharp alongside Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo.
