This is insane.
The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?
Ive joked plenty about ditching Cowboys but I seriously turned the channel off and stopped watching completely the moment they made Brian Schottenheimer official. I see i made a good choice.
The offensive guru cant tell Arch doesn't need to sit in the pocket going through 15 reads, come on now. This a Sark issue.

Texas fans wanting Sark fired when he’s produced the only good teams for Texas since the 2009 season is insane

This is the type of stuff that makes me reluctant to go after Sark
The film from this game is going to show you WRs open constantly and a QB who cant read a defense
Arch is just not it

Give up Playcalling.
Talent is there, coaching is shooting ourselves in the foot week after week. Two simple requests. If not given either, I'm on the fire Sark train.
Steve Sarkisian was asked about playcalling and what has changed week over week.
@ontexasfootball
Sark cant go out like Herm man come on. Offensive coordinator gives you another coach at minimum clearly we need more. Rather see an OC than Sark fired. The man has the program looking right for the most part.

Sark is calling this game like a guy trying to protect and hide a young QB.
Keep in mind we’re playing one of the worst secondaries in America today.
Im old school i want Texas winning the SEC and then Natty, not miss the SEC title game but win the natty. But thats just me. We know it makes more sense to just make the playoffs without the conference chip.
Typical Texas go from ass one weak to solid the next. Tired of this shit. And still only 2-3 programs that wouldnt trade place with Texas as far as success the last 5 years.
