CouchKing Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I think we should give Julian Lurie some reps with the first team. He needs to learn every position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't then he should be replaced. Pretty simple Lurie has been very clear publicly that he wants strong QB play, passing plays, an explosive offense that makes big plays and puts up points. A lot of people think that's why early last season they were throwing so much, because they wanted to see if Hurts had the stuff. It would make more sense to start off with a more balanced offense with more running plays and then open up the playbook for more passing plays in a 1st year of an offense with a 2nd year QB. But they went pass heavy first, then adjusted when it wasn't working. Will be interesting to see the plays called this year, especially adding AJ Brown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Lurie's want, and the 100 million dollar contract and draft capital it cost to get that WR, this will be a passing offense, and if Hurts does not cut it, he will be replaced.

And to Howie's credit, he's set them up with the two 1sts (I don't recall what other additional picks they have, another 2nd I think?) to trade up if they like a QB and are moving on from Hurts as a backup plan.

We are looking for a qb to lead a contender minshew is fun but i think he is what he is at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey and Howie having to replace their prize isn't going to come easily. I imagine that unless Jalen is injured or looks REALLY bad, he'll get the season. And look just barely good enough toward the end of the season to justify in Lowie's mind not replacing him. Although Howie might see his UDFA QB becoming a legit starter for the Eagles as a huge feather in his cap, maybe bigger than Mailata. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keeping with SS would lean it towards run heavy again. Last year's offense was a product of last year's team. There's no plan to never grow and expand.

The reality of that game was that there was a steady strong wind and Tampa went all in defensively daring us to pass against the elements. I don't think that strategy would have worked on a nice day. But it worked that day. The Eagles (and Hurts) need to learn from that game and be prepared for that kind of scenario in the future. Lol. Meanwhile this "strong wind" had no effect on the other offense and they managed to run their offense without impact. I guess maybe that whole arm strength argument holds water afterall. Imagine if they ever have to play a playoff game in the Northeast in January, that "steady strong wind" will become even stronger with bigger gusts than Tampa Bay!

It did have an effect on both teams as direction was a factor. Geographical location has nothing to do with it. 18-35 MPH winds are just as strong in Tampa Bay as they would be elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they flip directions each quarter and he struggled mightily in both the first and second... and third quarters. BTW, I think you are exaggerating the impact the wind had in that game. Go back and rewatch it and see how impactful (or not) the wind was. This wasn't the Bills versus Patriots 1st regular season game. The wind was barely mentioned and didn't seem to impact a single throw of significance. For comparison: vs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he could run us to victory ...oh wait you mean a running QB doesn't work when it matters? Like what most of us have been saying?!
