Jalen Hurts adapts to the new Philadelphia Eagles offensive scheme

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is transitioning to a West Coast offensive system implemented by coordinator Sean Mannion. The scheme requires Hurts to operate primarily from under center rather than the shotgun formation used in previous seasons. This shift focuses on timing-based passing routes to receivers and tight ends. The team enters the season without A.J. Brown, who has been a primary target since 2022. To compensate, Philadelphia has integrated first-round rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon and trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks into the rotation alongside DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert. While the rushing attack remains a central component of the Philadelphia offense, the coaching staff is emphasizing increased passing volume to complement the team's ground game.
