An NFL analyst appeared on a podcast and criticized Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' performance in the team's last two games, contests they have won.

The word Jalen Hurts used during Wednesday's media session actually relates to the Philadelphia Eagles offense this season. Sporadic. Perhaps that traces toward how the Eagles offense is built, the reliance of the big play.

The big passing plays that made Jalen Hurts the MVP runner-up two years ago aren't as frequent, but there are signs of life.

Sure, it would be great if Eagles general manager Howie Roseman could wave a magic wand and acquire a star player without giving away an early-round draft pick before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 5.

With 13 sacks in their last two games, the Eagles have vaulted into a tie for fourth in the NFL in sacks per game, but they could still use some help on the edge.

A couple weeks ago, edge rusher felt like the most clear need at the trade deadline, but over the last two games the Eagles have gotten more positive production out of Josh Sweat, Bryce Huff, and Nolan Smith than they had in their first four games.
