The Philadelphia Eagles are set to unleash Jalen Hurts on the NFL, but according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the move is less about punishing Carson Wentz and more about finally giving Hurts the full “Taysom Hill Treatment”.

There’s been back and forth discussion centering around how the Eagles should utilize the athletic dual-threat quarterback and taking Wentz off the field will force the Seahawks and future opponents to play honest with Hurts in the game.
It’s unknown how much he will play, but Philadelphia finally looks prepared to create packages that allow Hurts to stay on the field for multiple plays at a time or even for the entire series, while still allowing the offense to maintain momentum while keeping Wentz on the sideline.
