JALEN HURTS WANTS TO BE IN THE DISPUTE FOR MVP

The main protagonist of this metamorphosis has a first and last name: Jalen Hurts. The one who was pick 53 of the 2020 draft has made an overwhelming leap in level in what is his third season in the league. The ex of Alabama and Oklahoma is carrying out a campaign at the level MVPand his level was no less in the last match against Titans.

Hurts completed 29/39 passes and got 380 passing yards, falling just seven yards short of his career high. He passed for three touchdowns and didn’t commit any interceptions, in a terrific individual performance, plus Jalen was extremely accurate on his passes and seems comfortable shooting to all areas of the field.

He masters the intermediate zone with excellence, where he repeatedly looks for the crossed routes of his teammates, but he is not afraid to let go of his arm in deep zones, where his improvement in ball placement it is being more than evident.

His passing game has improved exponentially over the past two seasons, but he remains confident in his footwork in scramble situations and when the play cries out for running.

In week 12 of competition, the quarterback achieved the spectacular mark of 157 yards against Green Bay, and has already accumulated 609 so far this season, showing that he can also be a dual threat to his rival.

The Eagles leader managed to score 35 points against the Titans who had won seven of their last eight games and limited Kansas and Bengals to less than 20 points on the scoreboard. Against Tennessee, Philadelphia showed that it can win games by air or land, providing the team with a key two-dimensional attack to be unpredictable for defenses.

Last Sunday Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen, the franchise’s offensive coordinator, opted to field more receivers on their snaps in order to offer their quarterback a wider range of possibilities in passing situations.

The technical staff executed a large part of their offensive plays with staff 11that is, with three Wide Receivers, a running back and a Tight End on the field, in order to space out their attack more and force Titans defenders to make decisions about who to cover, even trading a linebacker for a defensive back. back more.

On this staff, the tight end’s ability to run his routes and catch balls is key, and it appears to have worked successfully against Tennessee. Jack Stoll he was the third Eagles man with the most passing yards sacked with 41, being one more alternative in the passing game for Hurts.

AN OFFENSIVE PACKED WITH TALENT

Like any great football team, a great version of a quarterback always has to be accompanied by a good offensive line and a body of receivers capable of converting passes into touchdown scores. This is the case of the Eagles in the current season.

A. J. Brown he’s arguably the favorite attacking partner for Hurts, and he’s already become one of the best receivers in the entire NFL. brown se exhibited against his former team, against which he was seen with a special desire to score, and it was a dagger for the Titans secondary.

He had 119 receiving yards and two touchdown catches in a game in which the former Ole Miss player demonstrated his physical power and speed in running routes.

He also scored the touchdown of the meeting Brown ran a deep route to create space for his teammate, Devonta Smith, in the flat zone, but his speed was enough for his quarterback to rely on a deep pass.

AJ practiced a receiving technique called “late hands” in American slang, in which the recipient of the pass stretches out his hands at the last moment in the moment of pocketing the ball to prevent the defender from reading his intentions and putting his hands out trying to interfere. The result it was a beautiful touchdown.

Next to Brown is devonta smith, who was pick number ten in the 2021 draft and who is establishing himself as a luxury companion for the main receiver of the Eagles. Smith had 102 yards against the Titans and caught a touchdown pass, displaying astonishing ease for distance of his brand in plays where he asserts his well-known leg speed.

Sanders is the sixth rushing running back in the entire nfl and the ninth in achieved touchdowns.

Philadelphia’s offensive line fouled a lot in the game against the Titans, but it’s proving to be one of the best units in the entire league.

IMPROVED DEFENSE AGAINST RUNNING PLAY

The reality is that the Eagles defensive unit has struggled throughout the season to contain the race rival. While they are the number one defense in receiving passing yards with 178.5, Those from Pennsylvania have not found an answer to contain their enemies by land.
