Jalen hurts first game with Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator versus finally see it.
I think we’re gonna learn a lot about, you know, Jalen hurts and Kellen Moore and how that fit is going so far because, you know, from afar it looks like you’re trying to shove, uh, you know, a circle into a square peg.
It just doesn’t really seem like it fits.
And then like for Green Bay, I just, I think this will just be a good test for the defense because even with the, the amount of questions we have about the Eagles offense, it’s still tough like to defend an offense with AJ Brown Devonta Smith, Shaquan Barkley Jalen Hurtz at times.
So you’re going to learn a lot about both teams, I think as they both try to establish themselves as championship contenders.
Yeah, it really, it’s a great proving ground game.
Like just to start us off.
You don’t, there’s going to be one Overreactions, especially a Friday Night Island game.
Are you kidding?
The next two nights are going to be insane, the reactions that come from it, but it’s fun.
I’m excited to watch these quarterbacks.
Of course, quarterbacks with stuff to prove in different ways.
Jordan love is this real?
I think it is, but still you gotta do it.
You can’t just do it once or twice.
Uh Jalen Hurtz with a new offense coordinator, like you mentioned with Kellen Moore, that whole offensive system single high against AJ Brown Devotes isn’t my favorite way to live.
Like that’s not like what I want to see, but let’s, let’s see it.
Like maybe the funkiness gets them.
Sometimes if you throw a different pitch than they’re used to every week, it can work, but they’ve had time to prep K. Moore is pretty good at prepping.
Watch week one last year against the Dolphins defense when they, they were keeping to, you know, going toe for toe with the dolphins’ offense.
This is a great early kind of gauge for these teams as they kind of get into the season.
