Running Wild into the BYE Week

If there was one takeaway from Sunday, it’s that the run game is officially back. The Eagles went from one of the league’s least efficient rushing teams to dropping nearly 300 yards on their division rival.

“When you’re able to run the ball efficiently like that, it kind of gives you a flow,” Hurts said. “I’m proud of how we were able to run it and how we finished in the red zone.”

Jalen Hurts gave plenty of credit to the offensive line, Saquon Barkley, and rookie Tank Bigsby, who each topped 100 yards. Barkley ripped off a 65-yard touchdown on the second play of the game and Bigsby closed the show with 104 bruising yards of his own.

“It’s about balance,” Hurts said. “Whether that’s spread looks, under center, or heavier personnel, we want to use every piece of what we have.”

One of the biggest changes in Kevin Patullo’s offense over the past few weeks has been Hurts spending more time under center. It’s something Jalen Hurts clearly enjoys.

“When you have variety, you can build off that,” he said. “The best quarterbacks attack people in different ways. I enjoy being under center and being able to complement our run game and find that rhythm.”

Hurts explained that it’s less about where he lines up and more about execution.

“It’s about how we’re leveraging what we do,” he said. “The formations don’t matter as much as what we’re doing when we’re in them.”

The AJ Brown Adjustment

AJ Brown missed the game with a hamstring injury, but Hurts accurately stated that the offense never flinched.

“All the guys came in and made big plays,” he said. “Jahan Dotson kind of put the dagger in the game late. Darius Cooper shook the rust off, John Metchie played hard, and DeVonta Smith did his thing.”

With or without Brown, Hurts emphasized that a balanced attack is the key.

“When we run it like that, it opens up everything else,” he said.

It’s no secret that Hurts has dealt with constant coordinator changes since college, but he’s taking this one in stride.

“There’s always a period of figuring things out,” Hurts said. “I’ve accepted that. It’s about having a relentless approach and staying persistent.”

He’s also been impressed by Kevin Patullo’s growth as a playcaller.

“He’s gained confidence in what he sees,” Hurts said. “We want to help him by playing clean football, no penalties, getting in and out of the huddle. He’s been rolling.”

Dallas Goedert’s Breakout and the Bigger Picture

Dallas Goedert finally broke loose with two touchdowns, and Hurts made it clear how valuable the tight end is to the offense.

Hurts closed the presser with a reminder that this is just the start.

“We’re always in the process of becoming something,” he said. “We want to be playing our best ball at the end of the season.”

He also shouted out teammates like backup center Brett Toth, who stepped in and helped lead a dominant offensive line effort.

The Eagles are 6–2, back on top of the NFC East, and finally starting to look like the team that steamrolled the league in 2022. The offense has rhythm again, the running game has teeth, and the quarterback is locked in.

Jalen Hurts said it best: the best is yet to come.
