Most see him as competing for KR/PR which he should l, and I think he's an underrated slot receiver 

He's got some real quicks, his size is a worry but he could be an effective gadget player and KR/PR.

We'll see if he can stay healthy through camp and preseason, he had a tough time staying healthy in college at times 

Good deal for Pittsburgh.

Oh that was snaps? I read that as passes. Well that sucks

How is he still taking off and running in practice while wearing a red shirt. He's supposed to be working on passing the ball. Everyone knows he can run

Those were passes. He doesn't count running in his passing stats. 

In any event, he was better in RZ drills the first day of camp.

Not to mention the clip is of him running past a  position coach...

Sure he looks quick doing it but big difference running against a 40 year old coach in shorts than lining up and beating an NFL corner in live game.

Yup.

Not sure why Sirianni hasn't told him he can't run???, it's not like he's avoiding hits In the pocket no one can touch him, just throw the damn ball!

Like I said it's discouraging to read that he's taking off running in 7on7 which is set up to work on passing concepts.

Can you imagine the flack miles Sanders would get from his position coach in a goal line drill if he decided to throw a pass to a non existent receiver instead of lowering his shoulder and running???

Every time hurts runs in 7 on 7 Nick should take him out and put in a QB who will throw the ball in a passing drill.

Worked out well for Ronnie Brown

Those coaches are quality defenders for Hurts

I'd guess 6: Brown, Smith, Watkins, Pascal, Reagor and Covey, with Ward doing the vet starting off on the PS role so his contract isn't guaranteed role.

Lol yeah, funny because as I was writing the post I immediately thought of that bone headed play by dream teamer Ronnie Brown.

What an utter disaster that whole "team" was👎

Meh, I think he's got about as good a shot as Ward at this point if they go with 6 players.  Really isn't anyone else too exciting after you get past Brown, Smith, Watkins, Reagor and Pascal.

I'm sure Owners gamble stupid money on stupid things. Old Wives tail(unsure if true) that Ed Snyder bet Bobby Clarke 50K that he couldnt get to Avalon in under an hour and Clarke was pulled over for doing 125 on the ACE. 

With that being said, Owners arent dumb enough to F with the integrity of the game and lose a billion dollar cash cow to get their gamble fix. 

They have someone else place their bets for them.

The Vita Vea comp is WAY premature but I love this take

I am pretty sure he fell out of the top 10 due to concerns about whether he could control his weight (I think he dropped a bunch for the combine) and whether he could pass rush effectively. 

Early returns are positive, and I like the fact that the Eagles have added lbs who can play behind him. But, as always, we will see what happens when the games actually count.

IMO, his only chance is if he blows it out of the water in the return game. They aren't keeping him as a 6th for any other reason. It sure seems like they are giving Reagor the punt return job so he has something to do, so it makes Covey kinda pointless. I think they keep him on the PS like they did with Huntley.

Why does the off topic guy look so upset.  I figured you were mad about something.   I hear Prague is fantastic.  No suggestions however.

The lexicon will resolve this soon enough. Someone out there is probably already using a universal set of pronouns, much like they, them, theirs and we, us, our for plural. For direct we already have you, your and I, me mine.  Let’s say "blurp”, "blurps”, for example.  So instead of saying She is driving like an idiot, we will say blurp is driving like an idiot.  If we think the driver is a guy, blurp still works.  In teaching our children manners, we will teach instead of "sir” and ma’am” use "blurz”.  "Excuse me, blurz.  Thank you, blurz.

How about Ho-mo Sapien? (dash is to make the censors happy)Let 'em try to get their knickers in a twist over that.

That's fair.  I don't think he's a lock by any means.  I am just assuming they'll go with 6 WRs, and with being able to stash Ward on the PS I think his KR/slot WR potential gives him the best shot of the bunch to be that 6th guy.

Also wouldn't be totally shocked if they only went with 5.  

Griner's fate was sealed the moment the US started aiding Ukraine in the war, and probably long before that. They would've found something else to arrest her for if it wasn't pot, to use as a negotiating chip to pressure the US into something they want.

Now they'll have to do a prisoner swap, and you can be damn sure Russia will demand more than a one for one swap.

IMO a disproportionate % of that 1-2% are in the media/Hollywood/opinion forming biz.

Wonder if a group from here in the US will travel to Russia to protest.  I'm sure that will work out well.

Play 1: Hurts gave it to Miles Sanders on a delayed handoff for a modest gain.

Play 2: Another shotgun handoff, this one to Boston Scott who also had a modest gain. It's kind of hard to gauge how effective running plays are with the defense not tackling the ball carrier.

Play 3. Hurts rolled to his right and got a bunch of pressure from the defensive line and had to throw the ball away. It's important to mention that the Eagles were without both of their left tackles today — Jordan Mailata and Andre Dillard. Each was out with concussion issues that head coach Nick Sirianni said did not come from any specific play they could pinpoint. They are both out as a precaution, but as you'll see throughout this practice recap the offensive line was struggling.

Play 4: A play-action snap, Hurts once again got considerable pressure and had to bail on the play, throwing it out of bounds.

Play 5: A play-action snap from under center, Hurts finally completes a pass, a dump off to Jack Stoll for a small gain over the middle.

 

Things shifted to 7-on-7 in the red zone for the next set of reps.

 

Play 6: Hurts carved the middle of the field finding A.J. Brown for a 10-yard gain. It looked like Brown was running a slant or in-route on the play.

Play 7: A quick pass to Dallas Goedert that went for a few yards, maybe five.

Play 8: Hurts checked down and left the pocket to the right and ran for what could have been a first down, but once again there is no tackling, so who knows.

Play 9: Almost identical to Play 8, Hurts checked down, rolled right and ran for the sideline.

Play 10: After a pretty slow and boring start, Hurts held strong in the pocket and hit Brown across the middle at the back of the end zone for what was probably his best throw of practice and a very impressive catch and toe tap from Brown. The throw thread the needle with defenders on either side of the bullet pass and looked quite risky off his hands, but obviously worked out.

Play 11: This was a bad throw on the low side that was nearly picked off by T.J. Edwards.

 

More 11-on-11 took place at the middle of the field.

 

Play 12: A pass over the middle to Goedert went for probably 10 or so yards. It's been a week and a half of training camp and it's clear to see Hurts is particularly comfortable throwing it to Goedert and to Brown.

Play 13: A shotgun handoff to Scott for a modest gain.

Play 14: Another shotgun handoff, this one to Kenny Gainwell which didn't go for much.

Play 15: A curl route run by Goedert and a connection from Hurts went for around eight yards or so.

Play 16: Hurts immediately took off running to the left side of the field in what was a clear option play. He tossed it to Scott who got to the outside and turned up field. He likely would have been forced out of bounds before the first down marker.

After the second and third teams ran their 11-on-11 plays in the prior set, things moved back into the red zone for full team reps.

 

Play 17: Hurts hit Brown on a slant up the middle. He caught it short of the end zone with defenders to beat, and obviously with no tackling allowed was able to push his way into pay dirt. It's unclear if he would have scored were this an actual live play, but he certainly has the big body to break a few tackles. We'll be friendly here and call this a "touchdown."

Play 18: Hurts checked down to his running back and dumped the ball off to Scott in the middle of the field. He was able to scamper around the defense to score a touchdown, which once again was easy with no actual tackling. Another "touchdown."

Play 19: A quick throw to Stoll over the middle that would have seen him tackled immediately.

Play 20: Another option to the left side that set up Sanders for a dart down the sideline.

Play 21: A shotgun handoff to Gainwell that resulted in a "touchdown."

 

The team went out for one more set of 11-on-11s with the intention of practicing a two-minute drill. It did not go well for Hurts and the first team offense.

 

Play 22: A quick pass over the middle to Brown goes for maybe three yards, setting up a 2nd and 7.

Play 23: A Hurts pass over the middle was intended for Gainwell who bobbled the ball several times before it hit the turf. This drop was definitely on the running back, who likely heard footsteps with defenders waiting to stop him short of the first down marker.

Play 24: Hurts scrambles to the right after checking down. There was some discussion as to whether he should be credited with the first down as the defense celebrated the fourth down stop, but Sirianni and the coaching staff gave them a very questionable first down so they could run a few more plays.

Play 25: Hurts and his offense didn't take advantage of the great spot on the previous pay, as Patrick Johnson pushed Le'Raven Clark (starting at left tackle) all the way into Hurts on a bull rush for an obvious sack. The next play would be a 2nd and long. Regardless it was a nice play from last year's seventh round pick.

Play 26: After some very good coverage all around, Hurts threw the ball away, setting up a third and long and one last chance for Hurts.

Play 27: In his final rep of the morning, Hurts threw it over the middle to Jalen Reagor, who was unable to haul it in thanks to an impressive diving pass break up by Edwards that could have been intercepted. Had the pass been completed it would have been short of a first down anyway.

It was not the best showing for Hurts, who honestly looked to be outplayed by Gardner Minshew on Thursday (who had a shovel pass touchdown during his red zone snaps highlighting his fairly good outing).

Reagor for Griner.  She is probably a better football player.
