WATCH: Darius Slay baits Jalen Hurts into his first interception of training camp

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay baits Jalen Hurts into his first interception of training camp

Darius Slay finally got Jalen Hurts to make a mistake, and his break on the interception that stopped the Eagles’ quarterback streak of attempts without a turnover was beautiful.

According to 94 WIP’s Eliot Shorr-Parks, who tracks every throw from the starting quarterback, Hurts set the Eagles training camp record for consecutive passes without an interception at 158.

That streak went on for another week and ended with pass No. 305.

The reaction from Eagles defenders on the video proves just how dominant Hurts has been this summer. When Slay stepped in front of that pass and was off to the races, defensive players celebrated and jumped for joy.

“We’re talking about practice,” but Hurts’s efficient play was noticed by Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who raved about his quarterback’s aggressiveness while making good decisions.

Jalen Hurts was among the league leaders in turnovers last season, accounting for 20 total turnovers, including 15 interceptions in 17 games.

The lackluster performance and the Eagles’ late-season collapse resulted in Kellen Moore replacing Brian Johnson as offensive coordinator. Hurts spent the off-season and spring retooling his throwing motion and enhancing his decision-making.

Eagles reporter: Giants proved they aren’t worth worrying about

Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks says New York Giants GM Joe Schoen is doing a poor job and that the organization is still being run poorly.

The New York Giants took care of their two top pieces of internal business on Tuesday, signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year extension and placing the franchise tag on star running back Saquon Barkley.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who has done a masterful job digging out of the abysmal hole he inherited from his predecessor, Dave Gettleman, managed to bring Jones into the fold with a reasonable cap number for this year ($18.5 million) and will work on lowering Barkley’s number going forward.

That will leave the Giants with enough cap space (up to $27 million once they cut Kenny Golladay) to be a player in free agency.

That, apparently, isn’t enough to impress some NFC East beat writers, however. Specifically Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks.

That remains to be seen. The Eagles are likely due for an exodus of veterans this offseason and they have only $5.5 million in available cap space to work with.

They also lost both coordinators. The Giants kept both of theirs.

The Giants can close the gap on Philadelphia with a strong showing in free agency and the draft this spring. How Shorr-Parks can forecast what each team will be this season at this point in time is strictly his opinion, speculation.

Nothing to see here.
