Jalen Hurts had a recent interview with GQ Magazine which has taken Eagles nation by storm. A raw look into the philosophical approach of the stoic QB. While the interview was done with the intention of showing a vulnerable side to Jalen Hurts that the public rarely sees, I am left here with more questions than answers. If anything, I am not sure if this was a piece to show who Jalen Hurts really is. I believe this was done as a direct response to the noise surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles, his contract negotiations, & a response to the ESPN article that was released over the summer about his coachability. The brilliance of Jalen Hurts & his campaign were on full display in this interview, and we will do a deep dive into it. Let’s Discuss!

The Philadelphia Eagles Initial 53 Man Roster has been released & some surprising cuts have been made! Carson Steele, Damiean Pierce, Uar Bernard, & Joshua Weru were some players that fans thought could make the roster. Trade rumors for Howie Roseman have begun as names for the backup quarterback & tight end have been thrown out there. With spotty play from Andy Dalton & Tanner McKee, could guys like Dillion Gabriel, J.J. McCarthy, & a potential Zach Ertz reunion come to fruition? Let’s Discuss!

The Philadelphia Eagles & Howie Roseman has an incredible track record of hitting on draft picks. While as fans we give him the benefit of the doubt, I have some concerns regarding our 1st two picks in Makai Lemon & Eli Stowers. While my concerns regarding Makai Lemon are primarily his health, there are concerns with his ability to get open in the NFL & get off the line of scrimmage. Eli Stowers is MORE concerning as there are questions of whether or not he is able to play the position! So I ask this question, did Howie Roseman make a mistake with Eli Stowers? Let’s Discuss!

Makai Lemon is back at practice following his hamstring injury. Get the latest details on his recovery and what his return means for the team. After being sidelined since August 3rd. We break down the timeline of his injury and analyze why his health remains a significant point of discussion for Eagle football supporters right now. Given his history with recurrent issues, understanding the context of this return is essential for anyone following the team's depth chart and player availability this season. We also discuss the backup QB battle between Andy Dalton & Tanner McKee. While the consensus is that Tanner should be named the backup, I am here to argue why keeping Andy Dalton on the roster brings much more value to the QB room than meets the eye.

The Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback responded in a positive way against the New England Patriots. Sean Mannion designed an offense that moved the ball through a short passing game led by Tanner McKee & Carson Steele. This gives Eagles fans insight on just how they could utilize Saquon Barkley & Jalen Hurts with additions to the offensive scheme. Darius Cooper had a nice showing as well, but did it move the needle for his impact on the upcoming season? Lastly, Ty Robinson played well once again which is starting to open up the conversation about his future on the Eagles. Is Robinson’s play moving Moro Ojomo out of Philadelphia? Let’s Discuss!

The Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts is one of the most polarizing figures in the NFL. Hurts is always at the discussion of being an overrated QB or if he is capable of being an elite QB. However, Jalen Hurts continues to shatter the narratives surrounding his play in the NFL. Jordan Poyer recently had comments about whether Jalen Hurts has the ability to throw your team back into a game. Let’s just say that Jordan Poyer among others are COMPLETELY WRONG about Jalen Hurts!

The Philadelphia Eagles & The New England Patriots had Day 2 of joint practice. Based on reports, The Eagles had a bounce back day with the defense responding strongly! Tariq Woolen & Jalyx Hunt were the stars of the day! Jalen Hurts was aggressive today and while he threw more interceptions again, the overall takeaway (no pun intended) was that the offense responded better today. This left me more optimistic about the team, but I still believe we are in a rebuilding year! Am I wrong? Let’s Discuss!
