From the episode
Watching these back, some of them are on Hurts, no question. There's definitely guys open on some of these plays. But this time it's also very much the offensive line and just not being able to handle protections, guys just getting their butts kicked. Like there was multiple plays in that Rams game where Hurts had no shot.
STACKED’s take
Hurts hamstrung by collapsing O-line; no pocket, no answers vs. Rams blitz
Hurts' performance is being constrained by a deteriorating offensive line; in the Rams game, multiple plays left him with no pocket and no shot, with blitz pressure from the right side going unanswered. The Eagles' offensive line composition—Mylotta, Willie Lankin at guard, Drew Kendall at center, Tyler Steen at right guard, and Markel Bell—cannot consistently handle protections or push the run game. Mina Kimes notes this is a systemic problem: the team can't get into flow or execute consistently because they can't get a pocket. The Eagles' build with Hurts requires a good offensive line to function; without it, even innovative scheme or elite quarterback play cannot consistently overcome the shortcomings.
