Eagles' Sirianni Confident Hurts Will Thrive in New Shanahan-Style Offense

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence that Jalen Hurts will excel in the team's new offensive scheme under OC Sean Mannion for the 2026 season. Mannion, from the Shanahan/McVay tree, is expected to implement more play-action, under-center usage, and boot action. Sirianni highlighted Hurts' versatility, noting his past success in these areas, albeit in smaller samples. In 2025, Hurts attempted 107 play-action passes (19th NFL) with a 93.1 rating and was efficient under center (+0.28 EPA/pass, 3rd NFL) despite limited snaps. Mannion, a former NFL QB, will coach Hurts closely.
