00:00You know, Jalen Hurts takes over as the starting quarterback in 2021.
00:04He's been the starting quarterback now five seasons.
00:07And in those five years, I've given these numbers before.
00:11In those five years, his first year as a starter, 32nd in the NFL in pass attempts.
00:182022, as great as they were that year offensively, 23rd in pass attempts.
00:242023, 21st in pass attempts.
00:262024, they win the Super Bowl.
00:2830 second in pass attempts.
00:30And last year, 24th in pass attempts.
00:32This is not going to be a team that's going to drop back 40, 50 times a game and throw
00:38the football.
00:39Even with Sean Mannion, that's not going to be the recipe to succeed with the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:45The recipe has always been, and I believe it will stay the same, is to have a strong rushing attack
00:50that relies on a dominant offensive line, like you pointed out.
00:53Now, do you need the offense, the passing offense to be better?
00:57Of course you do.
00:58It was terrible last year.
00:59You can't go halves of football without completing a pass.
01:02But the biggest issue last year, even though all of the attention was given to Kevin Petullo and Jalen Hurts
01:08and the passing offense,
01:10they went from being number two in the NFL in rushing yards to 18th in rushing yards.
01:15That was probably the biggest issue with that offense last year.
01:20You could not establish a running game.
