The Eagles are coming off a bye but there is no shortage of storylines surrounding the team heading into Week 6.
On the first edition of Gameday Central Extra, Eagles beat reporters Olivia Reiner and EJ Smith discuss Devin White’s release and what went wrong during his time with the Eagles, Jalen Hurts’ turnover issues, and the Eagles’ slow starts.
My read on this is at this point is that, you know, the emergence of Zack Baun helped them kind of mask this mistake that they made in free agency. But listen, let’s make no mistake about it, this was a mistake in free agency, you know, this was a miscalculation.Jalen Hurts’ turnovers have become a cause for concern.
Only picking up one first down through four of those opening drives. I think they have 12 net yards of offense across 13 plays. So something right now isn’t working, isn’t clicking. It certainly does not help that the Eagles did not have all three A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Lane Johnson this past week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Obviously, Brown has missed the last three games, too. I don’t know if it’s as easy as a fix as just getting those guys back.
According to Pro Football Focus, 6.7% of Hurts’ passing attempts have been turnover-worthy plays. And that’s a subjective stat, but EJ, I know you took a look at every single one of those turnovers and handful of those turnover-worthy plays to see exactly what the root cause, if anything, might be. At least something to kind of chalk up exactly why Hurts has been turning the ball over.I think there are definitely some common denominators.
