It’s safe to say that the 2023 NFL season did not go the way Jalen Hurts or the Philadelphia Eagles expected as he took a lot of criticism for the team’s late-season collapse when the offense started sputtering and failing to move the ball and score points. But it sounds like head coach Nick Sirianni has full faith in his quarterback to bounce back next season.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Nick Sirianni expressed confidence that Jalen Hurts will do whatever he needs to do in order to improve his game this offseason.
“Here’s what I know about Jalen, whatever we see that he needs to work on or he sees that he needs to work on, he’s going to get better at that because he puts everything he has into it, and that’s a form of leadership too,” Sirianni said according to Pro Football Talk. “Like Jalen sees something that he feels is a weakness of his or we feel like is a weakness of his, he’s going to dive everything that he has and pour everything that he has into it to get better from that. Like that’s leadership. That’s a form of leadership.
“I’ll keep some of the things we all talked about, what I need to get better at, what he needs to get better at, to ourselves. But I know this, that he’ll put everything he has into getting better as a football player, being better as a quarterback so we can win more games as a team.”
We’ll have to see whether or not Sirianni is right, because it will be a big season for both of them in 2024.
