Hurts vs. Pickett: The Battle for Eagles: Kellen Moore Reveals Eagles’ Plan for Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett
As things presently stand, it’s unclear who the Philadelphia Eagles will start under center in Week 17: Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, or Tanner McKee.
With Hurts still dealing with concussion issues, Pickett suffering a rib injury against the Washington Commanders, and McKee waiting in the rafters like WCW Sting for his chance to strike on Hollywood Hogan and the NWO, the Eagles seemingly have to prepare for three different scenarios for their forthcoming showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.
Or do they? Well, reporters decided to ask offensive coordinator Kellen Moore that question during his Week 17 media session and were met with a very interesting answer.
“Our guys do a great job. Everyone is preparing to be ready to go, and we’ll make the adjustments as the week progresses. I think from a game plan perspective, we’ll do a good job of having contingencies within those plans to allow ourselves to make the necessary adjustments based off who’s on the field,” Moore told reporters.
“We’ve done this in other weeks with offensive linemen, with receivers, when we don’t know whether a receiver is going to be available or not. Similar to those situations, you’ve just got to have a plan that’s flexible, depending on how things play out.”
