The Eagles are diving into the self-scouting portion of the bye week and head coach Nick Sirianni spoke on Monday about the depth of several position groups, including tight end and nickel. He also talked about the 3-and-outs late in the game, and why he doesn’t consider the run game lagging.
Here’s what the head coach had to say:
On Jalen Hurts
Sirianni was asked about Hurt’s accuracy and how it’s improved every season, culminating in a new franchise record for having a completion percentage of over 73 three weeks in a row. He explained that it’s a culmination of things, including Hurts getting more comfortable in the system, making the right reads to avoid incompletions or tipped passes, and getting the ball to his targets in a timely fashion.
