Hurts can change the numbers and force the backside defender to respect something other than the running back. Opposing scrambles have produced positive EPA against the Jaguars, too... This also needs to be a significant quarterback-run week.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Hurts' rushing role should be central to Eagles' game plan vs. Jaguars' aggressive defense.

The source identifies quarterback runs as a critical offensive strategy against the Jaguars' aggressive run defense. Hurts should be used as an active part of the rushing attack to change the numbers and force backside defenders to respect something other than the running back; opposing scrambles have produced positive EPA against Jacksonville, showing quarterbacks have found opportunities once they escape play structure. The source emphasizes this needs to be a significant quarterback-run week and recommends heavy shotgun, spread formations with motion and misdirection to complement Hurts' legs.
