Reggie: Thanks for having me! It’s always a pleasure to discuss the sport I love.
Moderator: Let’s jump right in. The Eagles are playing exceptionally well, finishing 14-3 despite Hurts’ absence in the final weeks due to a concussion. Do you think Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee made a compelling case for more playing time going forward, even with Hurts’ expected return?
Reggie: They definitely stepped up admirably. It takes guts to come in cold and led a team vying for playoff seeding. Both quarterbacks showed composure and made some crucial plays. Though, Hurts is a game-changer, a true franchise quarterback. His dynamic playmaking ability and leadership are irreplaceable.
Moderator: I agree, Reggie. Hurts brings something unique to the Eagles. His ability to extend plays with his legs puts immense pressure on defenses. It allows the Eagles’ offense to operate at a completely different tempo.Do you see this being a deciding factor in the game against the Packers?
Reggie: Absolutely. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ defense are no slouches. They present a real challenge. But if Hurts is back at 100%, his mobility could be the key to unlocking the Packers’ defense and keeping them off balance.
Moderator: Speaking of Rodgers, he’s another veteran quarterback with a wealth of playoff experience. Do you think experience is a critically important advantage heading into this matchup, especially considering the high-pressure environment of a playoff game?

Both quarterbacks have the mental fortitude to lead their teams, but Rodgers’ playoff experience could give him a slight edge.

Reggie: It’s going to be a thrilling game, no doubt. I think the Eagles have the edge if Hurts plays at his best. His ability to create plays and open up the field could be the difference maker. Though, never underestimate Rodgers and the Packers. Expect a close,hard-fought battle.
