NFL Fantasy Football Podcast on Jalen Hurts

Hurts doesn't trust his protection; Eagles using extra blockers despite his veteran status.

Jalen Hurts has the opposite problem from Matthew Stafford when it comes to handling pressure; the Eagles are using more bodies in protection with him because he clearly doesn't trust his protection. The source suggests that the Eagles feel compelled to make Hurts more comfortable with extra protectors because he is not handling pressure as well as he probably should for a quarterback as veteran as he is. This comes down to trust, and both Stafford and Hurts have issues with pressure right now, just in different ways. The quarterback that figures it out first will likely win the Eagles-Rams matchup.
