The Philadelphia Eagles‘ training camp is off to a roaring start, and let me tell you, any rumors about not getting along between head coach Nick Sirianni and star quarterback Jalen Hurts are purely hypothetical for now. Sirianni, in a lively press conference, squashed all that drama. He couldn’t stop singing Hurts’ praises, talking up his incredible performance and relentless work ethic. Unlike last season, the duo is on the same page and ready to crush it this season.

In his first press conference at training camp, Sirianni is thrilled to announce about Hurts’ progress. “I’m really excited for him, he’s worked so hard on his game.” However, when denying “Disconnect” rumors with the QB, HC Sirianni told the press, “When you hear a report like that, you don’t put much stock into it because, quite frankly, not everybody sees it.” And why should he? The duo has achieved some pretty remarkable things together. “The only thing you can judge relations on is your personal interactions with people, not any report that comes out,” HC Sirianni said. Talking about his bond with Jalen Hurts, the Eagles HC claimed that, “Jalen and I’s relationship is good.”

Also, Jalen Hurts reciprocated in his press conference by echoing his coach’s vibes and showing full support for the Eagles’ top leadership. He said, “I truly trust Mr. Lurie. I trust Howie. I trust Coach Sirianni to lead us in the right direction.” Hurts emphasized that it’s all about teamwork. He pointed out that while everyone’s role might differ—and let’s face it, some have more pressure than others—when it comes to seizing that championship, the whole squad needs to step up and play their part. That’s the winning formula!

All about Jalen Hurts’ and the Eagles’ first training performances.

With both rookies and veterans, the Eagles kicked off their first training session at the NovaCare Complex last Tuesday, July 24, 2024, in South Philadelphia. And boy oh boy, did Jalen Hurts steal the show! He was on fire, making sharp decisions and throwing with pinpoint accuracy. Hurts was nearly perfect, missing only one pass that slipped right through DeVonta Smith’s fingers. But Hurts wasn’t just hanging out in the pocket. Oh no, he kept the defense on their toes with some slick-designed runs. And just when you thought he couldn’t get any better, he threw a jaw-dropping touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert while on the move.

Talking on Cam Jurgens, the guy is clear and all ready to lead the line and take on the responsibility that comes with being the center. As the torch has officially been passed from legendary center Jason Kelce to Jurgens after his incredible 13-year career. And get this—Landon Dickerson is all in on Jurgens, saying he’s not trying to be the next Kelce but is out to carve his own legacy. The training camp witnessed Jurgens grinding hard in training camp, working side by side with Jalen Hurts to get on the same page and fine-tuning their communication.
