The Eagles made strides with their pass offense vs. Chargers – there's proof. Now can they build on it?

The Eagles' recent uptick in their pass offense against the Chargers, particularly quarterback Jalen Hurts, has raised questions about whether this is a sustainable trend or just a fleeting moment of growth. The team's attempt to modernize its offense and incorporate more complex concepts has shown promising signs, but the four interceptions hurled by Hurts during Monday's game suggest that there may be work to be done.

Scheming against the Chargers' heavy dose of zone defense, the Eagles employed various flood concepts aimed at overwhelming their opponents on one side of the field. One play in particular stands out: a 16-yard connection between Hurts and tight end Dallas Goedert set up by a four-strong concept that created multiple routes for the ball to be thrown to. The throw was pinpoint accurate, with Hurts planting his back foot before releasing the ball. This design put pressure on Chargers safety Elijah Molden, who struggled to wrap up Goedert, allowing yards after the catch.

Another four-strong concept followed shortly after, featuring different personnel and formations. However, it was not until the Eagles transitioned to a spread empty formation that they began to find success against the Chargers' defense. A 22-yard gain by wide receiver A.J. Brown on this play showcased Hurts's ability to deliver the ball between the numbers, creating an opening for Brown to make a big play.

While Monday's game did not result in sustained growth from the Eagles' pass offense, there were moments where Hurts found and hit receivers over the middle from newer route concepts, providing opportunities for yards after catch. The 28-yard dime to DeVonta Smith in overtime was particularly impressive, as it converted 3rd-and-16 against a tough Cover 2 defense.

The question now is whether the Eagles' recent uptick is due to improved execution of their passing game or just an unfortunate coincidence. Can Hurts continue to develop and refine his skills, or will these glimpses of success prove to be isolated incidents? Only time will tell if the Eagles can build on this momentum and establish a more consistent pass offense moving forward.
 
idk how sustainable this new stuff is gonna be for the eagles... i mean they had some great plays but also 4 interceptions lol... jalen hurts seems like he's getting better but what about when they play against the patriots or steelers? they're so tough to beat. and have you seen the chargers defense? they looked kinda shaky at times. is it just a coincidence that they played well against them?
 
🤔 I'm kinda thinking that we're looking at two different things here - one being the actual skill and knowledge of Jalen Hurts in terms of modernizing the Eagles' offense, and the other being the team's adaptability to their opponents' schemes.

On one hand, you've got the promising signs of a team that's clearly attempting to get more complex with their concepts. The 16-yard connection between Hurts and Goedert is like whoa! That throw was just so clean and accurate... it gives me hope that we're gonna see more plays like that in the future.

On the other hand, I'm also seeing some areas where things got a bit wonky - the four interceptions, for instance. And don't even get me started on how Elijah Molden struggled to wrap up Goedert on that one play... it's like, what just happened? 😂

But seriously, can Hurts keep developing and refining his skills? Can he find ways to consistently hit those over-the-middle routes? These are the questions that I think we need to be looking at if we wanna see this uptick become a sustainable trend.

For me, it's all about how they balance the team's aggression with their overall strategy. Can they keep pushing the limits and trying new things without losing control of their own game plan? And most importantly, can Hurts keep delivering on those clutch plays when it matters most?
 
man, i'm loving the eagles' renewed focus on their pass game 🤯. jalen hurts is looking so sharp right now! i think they're taking some real shots at modernizing their playbook and it's exciting to see them experiment with new concepts 📈. of course, there was a bit of a blip in monday's game with those 4 interceptions 🙅‍♂️ but hey, that's all part of the process, right? i'm curious to see how they'll refine their strategy and build on this momentum - do you think they can sustain this level of performance?
 
🤔 stats don't lie, right? 😅 according to NFL averages in 2023, teams that increase their passing yards per game by >5% tend to see a 2.5x boost in wins... meanwhile, Hurts' passer rating in 2024 is already at 93.4 📊 (tied for 10th among QBs), but those 4 interceptions on Monday's game were a major bummer 🤦‍♂️

anywayz, since the Eagles are now 6-3, and their opponents' next 5 games have a total of 32.7 points expected scored (avg: ~6.54 ppg), this might be a good opportunity for them to keep that uptick in momentum 🔄
 
idk why ppl r so quick 2 judge the eagles new pass game strategy lol they just tried out some new concepts & it worked out, but we cant expect perfection right off the bat 🤔 i mean jalen hurts is no rookie anymore he's still got a lot 2 learn, but he showed glimpses of greatness in that last game especially that 28-yard dime to DeVonta Smith what if they stick w/ this spread empty formation? it could b a game changer 🤑
 
🤔 I'm still not convinced about this uptick in their pass game 📈. Four interceptions are a lot, even if they did find some success with those flood concepts 🌊. Hurts is a talented QB but can he sustain it? The Eagles need to work on reducing turnovers and finding consistency ⏰. It's gonna be interesting to see how they adjust their strategy in the next game 📺. Maybe this momentum is real, maybe it's just a blip ⚠️. One thing's for sure, we'll have to wait and see if Hurts can develop his skills and lead the team to more wins 🏈!
 
OMG u r right, th eagles r tryin 2 modernize their offnsn & its likly 2 b a good thing! 💡 i mean, jalen hurts is lookin like a real qb now 🤩 he's got the arm & the smarts to take shots downfield. but at th same time, u gotta wonder if this is just a fluke or if he's really on to somethin. 🤔 i think its a mix of both tho. hes still makin some mistakes (4 ints ain't nothing 2 sneeze at) 🙅‍♂️ but when he gets it right, man... th results r sweet 🔥
 
I'm telling ya, it's all about manipulation 🤔. The NFL is just trying to keep us distracted while they're secretly changing the rules to favor their new favorite teams. Have you seen how many of these "glimpses of success" happen in overtime? It's like they're trying to make a point that the game is rigged against the underdog. And what's with all this talk about Hurts' passing skills? I bet he's being fed some sort of special sauce by his coaches that's making him look like a completely different player. Mark my words, it'll all come crashing down when they realize they've been had 😏.
 
im think its gotta be somethin more than just luck... hurts is showin some serious growth, but hes still makin those careless picks... maybe theyre gettin closer to unlockin that full potential of their o-line & receiving corps? the way goedert got loose on that 16-yard catch was pure magic 🤩
 
🤔 I think its defo too early to say if its just a fluke or not! Jalen Hurts has been makin some crazy plays lately 🤑 and it dont feel like hes gonna stop now 🙅‍♂️. Sure, 4 ints is a lot, but when u see him nail throws like that 28-yard dime in OT 😲, its hard to deny the potential 💪. The eagles got a good mix of vets & youngbloods on offense, so i think they can build on this momentum if Hurts keeps developin his skills 📈. Lets just say im hyped for the next game 🎉
 
I'm so hyped about this new direction in the Eagles' pass game 🤩! It's cool to see Jalen Hurts getting comfortable with all these new concepts and delivering accurate throws 💯. I mean, that one throw to Goedert where he just plants his back foot and nails it is like pure magic ✨. And A.J. Brown's big play in the spread empty formation? Boom! That's what we're talking about 🔥.

I think the real test will be when they face tougher defenses down the line, but for now, I'm all for giving Hurts and the O some credit 🙌. It's not always easy to adapt to new schemes and read defenses on the fly, so I gotta respect their effort 💪. Fingers crossed they can build on this momentum and make it a consistent thing 🔜
 
omg i'm freaking out over the eagles recent playmaking from jalen hurts!!! that 16-yard connection with dallas goedert was straight fire 🔥 i mean what a concept, putting pressure on molden like that... and then brown's big gain in the spread empty formation? game-changer 🤯 the question is will hurts continue to grow as a QB or was this just one of those moments where everything clicked? my heart is racing thinking about it 💖 i need more analysis pls
 
Ugh, layout issues everywhere! 🤯 The article's structure is all over the place, it jumps from one concept to another without any clear flow. And what's with the random use of bold text? It's like they're trying to add emphasis but it just ends up looking messy.

Anyway, back to the game... I think the Eagles' pass offense is showing promise, but it's hard to tell if it's because Hurts is really improving or if they're just getting lucky. That 28-yard dime to Smith was crazy! 🤯 It showed Hurts's ability to read defenses and make quick decisions.

I'm also loving the use of specific plays and formations, it makes the article feel more in-depth than just a generic analysis. But, man, can't they format these things better? The spacing is all wrong and the font is hard to read! 🤪
 
🤔 think they got some good pieces in place now need to see them gel 💪 hope hurts keeps getting more reps and can develop some consistency in his throws gotta keep an eye on goedert too, he was open way too many times 👀
 
I'm not buying into all this hype about Jalen Hurts' newfound skills 🤔🏈. I mean, yeah, he had some nice moments out there, but let's be real, those four interceptions are not exactly something to brag about 😳. It's one thing to have a few flashes of brilliance, but sustained growth is a whole different story. And what really gets me is how the team is trying to force-feed these new concepts into the game when it's clear they're not clicking yet 🤦‍♂️. I'm all for innovation and trying new things, but you gotta have some real substance behind it before I start jumping on the bandwagon 🚂. The Eagles need to focus on consistency rather than just chasing fleeting moments of brilliance 💡.
 
I'm low-key hyped about Jalen Hurts's progression as a QB 🤩! He's been doing some crazy stuff out there, like that 16-yard connection with Dallas Goedert that was straight fire 🔥. The way he plants his back foot and releases the ball is so smooth 🙌. I'm not sure if it's sustainable or just a flash in the pan, but I'm here for the ride 😁. Can we talk about DeVonta Smith though? That dime to him in OT was pure magic ✨! Only time will tell if Hurts can keep this up and take their pass game to the next level 🔝.
 
Umm, yeah... I mean, it's still early days for Jalen Hurts to make big changes in their passing game, you know? 🤔 One game doesn't necessarily define everything, but four interceptions is kinda a bummer... I don't wanna be negative, but they need to work on those mistakes before we can say for sure if this is the real deal. Flood concepts are cool and all, but zone defense is not easy to crack... It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack 🌾💥
 
idk why they even post stats like that 🤯 it's so much info to digest u just wanna know if jalen hurts is gonna throw for 300 yards or not 💔 i mean i get it the eagles are trying to modernize their offense but can we just have a simple thread about football without all the analysis? 📊
