Easy and necessary changes to get Jalen Hurts, Eagles offense back on track in 2024

The Eagles have to get back to the details of creative offense

Predictability and a lack of creativity are the culprits of much of Philly's late-season stagnancy. That led to Jalen Hurts running the ball way too much. There were just too many designed quarterback run calls. QB1 should be running the ball when he needs to not because it's the design. That would have made the offense less predictable and more difficult to defend.

When opposing defenses know they need to be prepared because certain looks have QB runs built-in, they know to be ready. Designed quarterback runs can work, but when you run them as often as the Eagles have, you wind up with Christian McCaffrey diagnosing your plays on national television.

The Eagles have gone all out to put a tremendous amount of weaponry around Jalen Hurts. He should be wheeling and dealing around the field, playing to the strength of the players. Again, this Eagles offense is much to predictable though.
