Daily News | Eagles play-caller drama is much ado about nothing because Jalen Hurts is the only variable that matters
It might be Shane Steichen’s voice in the earhole, but these will be Nick Sirianni’s plays. That’s one of two takeaways from the Great Play-Calling Caper of 2022. But the most important one is this: Jalen Hurts needs to execute.
Point is, we need to be clear about what we’re talking about when we talk about who is calling the plays. If every game is an audiobook, Steichen is simply the guy reading the words. The only job responsibilities that matter in all of this are those of the guy on the receiving end of these play calls. Jalen Hurts is the most relevant variable in this formula, the same way Tom Brady was in New England and Ben Roethlisberger was in Pittsburgh and Lamar Jackson is in Baltimore. Look at it that way and you’ll see how little any of this means. Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin, and John Harbaugh are three of the most accomplished head coaches in the last two decades of the NFL game.
Again, you can spin the results any way you want. The big change in the Eagles’ season came when they realized that their best strategy was to limit what they asked of Hurts. No team in the NFL rushed for more yards than the Eagles did in their last 11 games. It wasn’t even close. The Eagles clocked in with 2,033 yards on the ground, more than 200 ahead of second-place Indianapolis.
