Jalen’s injuries in the first game with Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator will finally show.
I think we’re going to learn a lot about Jalen Hurts and Kellen Moore and how things are going so far, because from far away it looks like you’re trying to force a circle into a square peg.
It just doesn’t seem to fit.
And as for Green Bay, I just think that’s going to be a good test for the defense because despite the many questions we have about the Eagles offense, it’s still difficult to defend an offense with AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Shaquan Barkley and Jalen Hurtz at times.
So I think you’ll learn a lot about both teams as they both try to establish themselves as championship contenders.
Yes, it really is a great proving ground game.
As if that were just the beginning.
Don’t do that, there will be overreactions, especially in a game on Friday Night Island.
Are you kidding?
The next two nights are going to be crazy, the reactions that follow, but it’s fun.
I’m excited to see these quarterbacks.
Of course, quarterbacks have to prove something in different ways.
Jordan, honey, is this real?
I think so, but you have to do it anyway.
You can’t do it just once or twice.
Uh, Jalen Hurtz with a new offensive coordinator, like you mentioned with Kellen Moore, this whole offensive system with a single high against AJ Brown devotees is not my preferred way of life.
This is not what I want to see, but let’s see.
As if maybe they care about the funkiness.
Sometimes it can work if you throw a different pitch than they’re used to every week, but they’ve had time to prepare. K. Moore is pretty good at preparing.
Look at the first week last year against the Dolphins defense when, you know, the Dolphins offense was on equal footing.
For these teams, this is a good opportunity to get an early overview of the season.
