The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny on Jalen Hurts

Scheme fit hinges on middle-field anticipation throws, his weakness

Jalen Hurts' fit in the new Sean Mannion Shanahan-style offense is the central question for the Eagles; while Hurts is accurate and generally protects the ball, his weakness is throwing over the middle of the field with anticipation, which is critical to the new scheme. The offense is built to suit his strengths (RPOs, quick game, pre-snap reads) if Mannion can modify it appropriately. Hurts' success depends on buying into the system and trusting receivers in the middle of the field quickly with anticipation—not his greatest strength—but there is optimism given the Green Bay blueprint and Mannion's track record.
