Greg Cosell believes Jalen Hurts can thrive in the Eagles’ new offense

Philadelphia Eagles are set to begin the season with a radically different offensive strategy that puts Jalen Hurts at the forefront of one of the NFL's most captivating schematic transformations. In a recent appearance on the Ross Tucker Podcast, Greg Cosell expressed confidence in the franchise quarterback's ability to adapt to this new approach.

During the discussion, Cosell examined Hurts' 2025 film and found ample evidence to support his belief that the young signal-caller is capable of handling the changes. "I looked at Jalen Hurts a ton of plays from last year," Cosell stated. "There are examples where he did that. He can do this." Cosell anticipates that the Eagles' offensive philosophy, which includes more under-center formations, pre-snap motion, condensed formations, play-action passes, and concepts typically associated with the Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan coaching trees, will prove to be more successful than many people anticipate.

Although the new system may initially challenge Hurts to execute responsibilities that were less emphasized in the Eagles' previous offense, Cosell is optimistic that the quarterback's work ethic and previous performance will help him navigate the transition smoothly. The Eagles' strong offensive line and Saquon Barkley's ability to make defenses respect the run will provide additional support to the receiving corps, including DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, and Dallas Goedert. Overall, Cosell is confident that Hurts will excel in this new offensive environment.
