Eagles’ Stalled Passing Game Puts Spotlight on Hurts and Patullo Before Rams Test

Data showing severe formation tendencies has fueled questions about the new play-caller's approach.

Overview

  • Philadelphia is 2-0 yet ranks 30th in pass attempts and 31st in passing yards, with Jalen Hurts at 253 yards, 5.6 yards per attempt, and no touchdown passes.
  • Hurts said he takes accountability for the limited production and stressed improving synchronization with first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
  • Next Gen Stats show extreme run-heavy tendencies tied to Hurts’ pre-snap alignment, including a 95.8% run rate under center and 84.6% from pistol.
  • Patullo said the offense is trending toward peaking later in the season and discussed breaking tendencies, as head coach Nick Sirianni publicly backed his OC’s process.
  • The Week 3 matchup brings a strong Rams pass defense, while A.J. Brown dismissed training-camp absence as a reason for his low targets and Vic Fangio said Jalen Carter needs to get in better shape.
