Jalen Hurts on Kellen Moore’s Eagles offense: ’95 percent of it is brand-new’

The Philadelphia Eagles changed their organizers on both sides of the ball after a spectacular late-season collapse from the 2022 NFC Champions, consistingof workingwith Kellen Moore to run their offense. Moore invested 4 years as the offensive planner for the archrival Dallas Cowboys before one unfortunate season with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023.

While Moore hasactually revealed the capability to adjust to offensive-minded head coaches like Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy throughout his profession as an NFL playcaller, it appears he is bringing a entirely brand-new design to Nick Sirianni’s Eagles, according to quarterback Jalen Hurts.

“Right now it’s been a lot of brand-new stock,” Hurts stated, bymeansof ESPN. “The bulk of it, mostlikely 95% of it being brand-new — and so it’s simply been that procedure, and it’s been a enjoyable procedure duetothefactthat you get to see what works for other individuals.

“I think the objective coming in was to findout Kellen’s offense and to master it, and I believe that’s been a procedure, and by the end of it, I desire it to be mine and have it in my own method.”

Sirianni, like Moore’s previous Cowboys managers, has roots on the offensive side of the ball, as the Eagles workedwith him in 2021 after he hadactually been the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive planner. Sirianni has giventhat called plays at times throughout his time in Philadelphia, however the playcalling capability of well-regarded offending organizer Shane Steichen — who left, paradoxically, to change Sirianni’s previous employer Frank Reich as the Colts’ head coach last year — was seen as a significant driver in the group’s 2022 run to the Super Bowl where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hurts’ quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson was promoted to offensive organizer in 2023 after Steichen’s departure, however his playcalling came under criticism as the Eagles plunged to a 1-5 regular-season surface and wild-card-round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs after beginning the season 10-1. Johnson was lateron fired along with defensive planner Sean Desai, who was changed by veteran defensive master Vic Fangio.

The Eagles return a packed offense around Hurts, though they will have to change seasonal Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce on the offensive line following Kelce’s retirement earlier this offseason. Still, Philadelphia functions star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert as Hurts’ main pass-catching targets, and signed star running back Saquon Barkley away from the division-rival New York Giants when 2024 NFL totallyfree firm opened in March. 

They will open the 2024 season versus the Green Bay Packers in Brazil, marking the veryfirst NFL videogame in South America.
