NFC Notes: Eagles, Giants, Washington

Eagles

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni has made some waves this offseason by refusing to name QB Jalen Hurts the starting quarterback ahead of Joe Flacco before a competition plays out in training camp. It doesn’t take a fortune teller to know how that competition will play out, but it’s a part of the culture Sirianni is trying to instill in his first year. Hurts is completely on board, telling the Athletic’s Zach Berman “no one is above” having to compete for their job, including himself.

“Everybody’s got to go work. For me, rent is due every day. … And when that rent is due, I don’t plan on missing no payments,” Hurts said. 

The second-year quarterback added that even though he enters this season as the leader for the starting quarterback job instead of the clear backup, his approach won’t change. 

“My intent doesn’t change. The mentality that I have doesn’t change,” Hurts said. “The urge and thrust for growth and being a better leader and better quarterback, that doesn’t change. I want to impact the people around me the best I can, be somebody people see as an accountable person and accountable quarterback.”
