Jalen Hurts fires back at reports of frustration inside Eagles camp

Jalen Hurts dropped a strong message to reports claiming he has frustrated several people with the Philadelphia Eagles franchise. The experienced quarterback was mentioned in two different reports in recent days, following the A.J. Brown drama looked buried.

On Saturday, NFL insider Diana Russini wrote that Hurts' way of doing things has frustrated some of his fellow teammates. On Monday, Derrick Gunn reported that the coaching staff is not pleased with Hurts playing his game despite discussing a clear game plan during the week.

Hurts responded to the rumors on Wednesday evening, saying that he is not a stranger to getting attention, whether things are going well or look shaky.

“It think it definitely does,” Hurts said, via NBC Sports. “I take a lot of the responsibility. I get a lot of attention when things are going well and when things are not going so well. I never run away from holding myself accountable and I think that’s exactly what I’ve taken the approach of doing.

“Even when I look at this last game, I take great pride in what we do on offense, I take great pride in how we go out there and play as a team and what our flow it. We obviously have work to do and that obviously starts with me. That’s always my approach. That’s always me looking internally first in everything that we do. And then in due time, rising above.”

The Eagles boast an 8-2 record after 11 weeks. However, the way the attack has performed in their last two outings (26 points combined) has raised many eyebrows among fans. Jalen Hurts has gone 180 of 269 for 1,995 yards and 16 touchdowns with just one interception.

While he agreed that the criticism comes with the position, Jalen Hurts stays focused on the task ahead, making it clear he wants to bring the best energy to practice.

“Ultimately, it’s about coming in here and working and leading and bringing good energy and showing it by how you work,” Hurts said. “At the end of the day, we are here to play as a team and to play together and find ways to win. That’s where we all have our focus at.”

The Eagles hold the No.1 seed in the NFC, but if they want to play the Super Bowl again, the offense needs to perform.
