Commanders will hit Jalen Hurts ‘like running’ if Eagles schedule it on designed races, says the coach
Philadelphia Eagles striker The yalen pain He finished the regular season with 630 rush meters. Hurts’s ability to run is a key part of Eagles’ offense, but it remains unclear how threats will be his feet in the NFC Championship game this weekend.
Hurts seemed to tune his knee during last week’s Divisional Playboard match, when he was clumsily drawn to the ground while he was released and Los Angeles Rams defender. The Eagles call signal entered the Blue Medical Tent after Eagles inserted the ball, but he returned to the crowd on Philly’s offensive possession.

“We had a few of these guys we had to prepare for,” Whitt told reporters on Thursday. “One thing is that if it is going to start the ball, and if the coordinator makes a decision to take the ball, we will treat it as running backwards, and we will hit it.
“So that is their decision if they want to hit him the way he hits. If they do not, they will keep him in his pocket. So, we will do that.”
