Mark Ross notes that Jalen Hurts plays his best when the run game is going, allowing him to operate play-action and be comfortable in the pocket. The question is whether he can get back to the form he showed two years ago, contingent on Saquon Barkley's health and the offensive line staying intact. The loss of A.J. Brown as his security blanket adds uncertainty to his receiving options.PositiveRoleJul 11, 2026
Jason Kelce reports optimism around Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion; the system will feature Green Bay-style McVay concepts with under-center play action and outside zone, while still calling plays that suit Hurts' game.

Jalen Hurts faces a critical 2026 season under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and the Shanahan-McVay offensive tree system, mandated by Eagles ownership and Howie Roseman as the modern NFL blueprint for success.
