Bootleg Football on Jalen Hurts

Hurts doesn't trust his line; drops too deep, bails with pocket space, poor decisions.

Jalen Hurts' pocket presence and decision-making deteriorated in the Chicago game due to lack of trust in his offensive line, particularly center Cam Juergens. He dropped too deep in the pocket (10-11 yards) on one sack, giving his guard a poor angle, and bailed on another play with space to step up and throw. His clock was sped up and he made poor decisions like throwing to TJ Edwards twice. When defenses bring pressure looks (six, seven, sometimes eight guys), Hurts is forced to hold receivers in for blocking, leaving him with only two to three routes available.
