It is also worth noting that Jalen Hurts played exceptionally well vs the Vikings last year. He handled a lot of the disguised coverages well and looked as comfortable as anyone that I watched go up against the Vikings' defense.

Hurts' strong Vikings performance last year suggests he'll handle Washington's Flores-influenced disguised coverage sche

Jalen Hurts played exceptionally well against the Vikings last year and handled disguised coverages well, looking as comfortable as anyone the source watched go up against Minnesota's defense. This is relevant because Washington's new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones is building a scheme heavily influenced by Brian Flores' Minnesota defense, which relied on pre-snap deception and coverage disguises to confuse quarterbacks. Hurts' proven ability to process these looks efficiently and remain calm in the pocket suggests he should handle Washington's new scheme better than a quarterback unfamiliar with this defensive philosophy.
