Jalen Hurts Absorbing New Offense in “Sponge Mode”

After a disappointing end to the 2023 season, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to make several changes to their coaching staff. One of the major changes was hiring a new offensive coordinator for the second straight season. Brian Johnson was let go, and Kellen Moore was brought in to overhaul the offensive scheme that quarterback Jalen Hurts will be leading for the 2024 season. Hurts expressed his excitement about working with Moore during a press conference on Tuesday, mentioning that he is eager to learn and adapt to the new system.

Hurts described himself as being in “sponge mode” when it comes to grasping the new offensive scheme that the Eagles will be running in the upcoming season. He emphasized the importance of building a strong foundation for the offense before making any significant changes or additions. Hurts mentioned that the coaching staff is still finalizing details and fine-tuning the system, and he is looking forward to learning and absorbing as much as possible.

The quarterback acknowledged that the process of implementing a new offensive scheme will take time and that it will unfold over several months leading up to the start of the season. The Eagles are set to kick off their season against the Packers in Brazil, and Hurts is focused on understanding and executing the new system effectively. He expressed optimism and excitement about the team’s potential for the upcoming season under the guidance of Kellen Moore and the rest of the coaching staff.
