The Story in 60 Seconds

Bucky Brooks argues that the Philadelphia Eagles' struggling 2-3 offense is a poor fit for quarterback Jalen Hurts under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Brooks writes that Mannion's traditional dropback system exposes Hurts' limitations as a passer, failing to utilize the quarterback's playmaking strengths that flourished under run-pass option schemes. Offensive injuries to Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, alongside key departures on the offensive line, have further exacerbated the unit's decline.

Additionally, Brooks analyzes Sean Payton reclaiming offensive playcalling duties from Davis Webb for the Denver Broncos. He also reviews Marvin Harrison Jr. joining the Houston Texans alongside C.J. Stroud and highlights New York Jets rookie pass-rusher David Bailey.
