Eagles Coaching Camp Observe Notes: Jalen Hurts stacking good days

Sunday marked the seventh Philadelphia Eagles coaching camp apply forward of the 2024 season. Right now’s session was not padded. It went for about 90 minutes and featured a lightweight drizzle at occasions. Right here’s what I noticed on the NovaCare Complicated.

EAGLES PRACTICE NOTES

• JALEN HURTS UPDATE: QB1 turned in one other good apply.

Hurts was principally environment friendly whereas additionally mixing in some spotlight throws to his high two receivers. Throughout an 11-on-11 interval, Hurts dropped the ball within the bucket to DeVonta Smith deep down the appropriate sideline. Dealing with a gotta-have-it landing throughout a pink zone scenario, Hurts gave A.J. Brown an opportunity to make a play on a 50-50 soar ball to beat Isaiah Rodgers for a landing.

Hurts additionally had a reference to Britain Covey in 7-on-7 for over 20 yards. The ball was a little bit low, which made Covey must go along with a sliding catch (good job by him), however it was positioned the place no defender might’ve had an opportunity at it. Hurts additionally averted pointlessly taking off operating after holding onto the ball for too lengthy; his decision-making was fast.

Hurts has nonetheless but to throw a decide this summer season. He’s actually solely put the ball in hurt’s means, like, twice? And it’s not like he’s merely been a Checkdown Charlie making an attempt to keep away from interceptions in any respect prices.

Great things.

Mekhi Becton (sickness) didn’t apply. One would think about he’ll be again actual quickly. Ditto for Eli Ricks (sickness).

A.J. Brown was testing his hand after a rep however didn’t miss any time.

Sydney Brown continues to be on energetic/PUP and Cooper DeJean continues to be on energetic/NFI.

• CORNERBACK TRAINING CAMP BATTLE: Isaiah Rodgers took the primary first-team cornerback reps throughout from Darius Slay in 11-on-11. That’s now 4 days for Rodgers (three in a row) and three for Kelee Ringo. Maybe Rodgers is pulling forward? That stated, Rodgers did quit a pair completions on Sunday (together with A.J.’s soar ball landing catch). Quinyon Mitchell was the first-team nickel cornerback.

• LINEBACKER TRAINING CAMP BATTLE: For the seventh day in a row, Devin White and Zack Baun have been the primary first-team linebackers in 11-on-11. Nick Sirianni went out of his option to reward Baun throughout his pre-practice press convention, so, that looks like a reasonably good signal for him. Nakobe Dean had one other apply the place he did some good issues as a run defender and blitzer however regarded like a legal responsibility in protection.

• RIGHT GUARD TRAINING CAMP BATTLE: With Steen and Becton each out, it was Brett Toth lining up at first-team proper guard. (What is going to it take for Matt Hennessy to get a single first-team rep?) Toth had two good blocks on Jalen Carter in OL vs. DL 1-on-1, in accordance with my BGN Radio co-host Jimmy Kempski. Toth additionally had a superb run block in staff drills however he did contribute to some strain allowed.

• QB2 TRAINING CAMP BATTLE: Pickett might’ve been flagged for intentional grounding throughout a situational drill late in apply. Not what you wish to see. Pickett’s desperation throw on the ultimate rep of a situational collection was too far out of bounds for Joseph Ngata be capable of catch in-bounds. Tanner McKee acknowledged a weak spot within the Eagles’ protection that allowed him to rapidly throw to an open Jacob Harris for a primary down after which some. That rep was in opposition to the Eagles’ beginning protection, too. McKee had two good completions to E.J. Jenkins on back-to-back reps (extra on that once more under). McKee actually didn’t look threatening as a runner after preserving the ball on an possibility. And he overthrew Ainias Smith on a throw in the direction of the sideline. However McKee ought to gaining floor on Pickett.

• First-team offense scenario: plus 40-yard line, 55 seconds left, down 4 factors, one timeout to work with. Baun was the only linebacker on the sector with Maddox and Quinyon Mitchell each in. Hurts checked right down to Saquon Barkley, who gained about 5 yards however the ball wasn’t snapped once more till 0:35 left. Barkley then dropped a move within the flat that might’ve allowed him to achieve some yardage and get out of bounds. Hurts possible would’ve been sacked by Nakobe Dean on third down however they let him get credit score for operating to a couple of yard or two away from the marker earlier than C.J. Gardner-Johnson touched him down. On fourth down, Hurts hit A.J. Brown for the primary down. The Eagles then spiked the ball with 0:06 left and that was the tip of that collection.

• James Bradberry put a pop on Britain Covey that prevented the WR from holding on for a catch.

• Milton Williams continues to impress as each a run-stuffer and move rusher. Williams flushed Hurts out of the pocket not less than as soon as on Sunday.

• Kudos to Moro Ojomo, who’s been displaying up extra usually lately. The second-year defensive sort out had a number of pressures, together with a rep the place he truly sacked Pickett by falling on him. That’s clearly in opposition to the usual of not touching the quarterbacks who put on pink jerseys for that very cause. However Ojomo was too good for his personal good. He additionally logged a “TFL” by attending to Tyrion Davis-Value because the operating again unsuccessfully tried a spin transfer within the backfield.

• Cam Jurgens had a excessive snap that didn’t assist Hurts in opposition to a blitz. It additionally regarded like he might have misplaced one other rep to Jalen Carter, who pressured Hurts to scramble left and throw a move incomplete alongside the left sideline.

• Carter earned pats on the helmet from a number of teammates after stuffing an inside run by Kenny Gainwell.

• Rookies getting first-team reps: Trevor Keegan combined in at first-team left guard, possible to provide Dickerson a breather. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. noticed some first-team linebacker reps subsequent to Devin White. These two mixed to place a pop on Albert Okwuegbunam after he made a brief catch. Trot Jr. regarded good as a blitzer and in run protection. Didn’t discover him a ton in protection.

• Whereas lining up at left sort out, Fred Johnson did an actual good of dealing with a stunt. He received his arms on each of the attacking defensive linemen to purchase time for Pickett to throw.

• E.J. Jenkins had a pleasant catch-and-run second on a move that went over the center. After which once more on the very subsequent play. Jenkins has proven essentially the most juice out of the tight ends behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. That being stated, Albert O had his greatest day (by far) thus far with a pair catches.

• P.J. Mustipher received within the backfield for a “TFL.”

• Joseph Ngata double caught a ball alongside the left sideline in 7-on-7. Not the primary time I’ve seen him double-catch a move.

• Shaquan Davis had a number of catches with the third staff. The 24-year-old receiver may very well be a apply squad candidate.

• Terrell Lewis deflected a Will Grier move on the line of scrimmage to trigger an incompletion. Lewis beforehand virtually had a leaping decide close to the road of scrimmage earlier in camp.

• Working again Lew Nichols had a pleasant run with the second-team offense the place he bounced off a defender (good contact stability) after which regarded quick taking off after making a lower.

• Ben VanSumeren flew as much as thud Nichols close to the road of scrimmage late throughout apply. He was fired up about that cease.

• New tight finish Kevin Foelsch is carrying No. 43, which is what McCallen Castles was carrying previous to his damage. Foelsch caught a brief move in his Eagles apply debut.

• Creed is so again, child.

UP NEXT: The Eagles apply once more tomorrow beginning at 10:00 AM Jap. It’ll be the second of 4 straight apply days.
