![]() Play 14: It's a would-be "sack" from Josh Sweat.Hurts has plenty of time to throw the ball and hits Kenny Gainwell in the flat. Bradberry has had a great camp and has frequently bested Smith, but Smith got him on this one. Play 12: Here's a play that Eagles fans will want to read while forgetting Hurts' early struggles: Hurts hits Smith in stride on a go route for a deep "touchdown" against James Bradberry.Play 11: Same slant, but it goes to Pascal.Play 10: Quick slant over the middle to Smith.He uses his strength to his advantage here, something that he's struggled with in the regular season in his short career. Reagor's actually done quite well for himself in these 1-on-1 reps this summer. He makes a great catch along the right sideline and uses his body to get physical with the corner to make a play on the ball. Pascal is such a solid vet presence and it's clear that he's giving the team's younger defensive backs quality reps whenever he's out there. Pascal gets the benefit of the doubt as a veteran to the refs here with his oh-so-slight push-off against cornerback Zech McPhearson before hauling it in. Play 8: Zach Pascal alert! Hurts targets Pascal to his left.Play 7: Hurts misses Smith going deep down the right sideline.He thinks it's outrageous I count 1-on-1 play, but my rationale is that if it's coming in the middle of practice between 11-on-11 or 7-on-7 work, it's part of the practice. I've talked with WIP's Eliot Shorr-Parks about how we're respectively charting and grading Hurts' training camp performances. Time for 1-on-1s from the 40-yard line going in. Positive news for Eagles fans: I value his preseason play way more than that and Hurts was decent-to-good the remainder of the day. That was a bad series from Hurts, the worst I've seen from him all summer. Much like the Watkins throw, it should've been a "touchdown." ![]() Play 6: Hurts had Jalen Reagor going towards the the end zone from the right slot, but it's another pass that's completely undethrown.The QB and receiver's rapport is building back up. Darius Slay nearly picked off, as Watkins was forced to play defensive back on the play and try to break it up. Play 3: Hurts had Quez Watkins open deep down the seam, but the ball was way underthrown.This doesn't count as a pass in my stats because it was certainly a "sack." It was a high throw, but Brown was able to leap and grab it. Hurts moved away from the contact anyway and rolled right to hit A.J. Play 2: Hurts held onto the ball for a while, maybe too long given that Jordan Davis "sacked" him.Eagles C Cam Jurgens looked like a Jason Kelce clone, with gifs and stuff.Kyzir White continues a strong summer with interception in Eagles preseason debut.Nick Sirianni responds to late hit on Jalen Hurts by Jets linebacker Quincy Williams.He was look for Smith (duh) and threw it about six yards short of him, so short that it off the back of Avonte Maddox's leg as he was sticking Smith. I guess it's a positive he got it out of the way early. Play 1: Without hyperbole, this was Hurts' worst throw of camp.Brown the ball this camp, it was Smith who was constantly getting the ball on Sunday.Īs I always do for practice, here's a play-by-play breakdown of Hurts' first-team reps.ġ1-on-11s from the offense's own 45-yard line: For all that I've written about Hurts force-feeding A.J. Hurts looked DeVonta Smith's way early and often, as the second-year wideout got in rhythm after missing time this summer with a groin injury, one that kept him out of the Birds' season opener. It was a rough start to the day for Hurts, but he improved a bit as practice continued on, carving out a day that I'd consider a "stock neutral" outing. The Eagles' QB1, however, didn't quite reach that level of excellence in Sunday morning's training camp practice. Hurts was 6/6 with 80 passing yards, a touchdown and a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3. ![]() Jalen Hurts had his most encouraging performance of the summer during Friday night's preseason game against the Jets.
