Chris Simms is going after Jalen Hurts yet again, but this time he may have taken things too far by saying opposing teams should, "Try to kill the QB," when discussing the Eagles' Brotherly Shove/Tush Push play.
The 94WIP Morning Show debated whether or not Simms was "out of line?" Jon Ritchie said no, while an emotional James Seltzer adamantly disagreed.
"Yes he is," Seltzer argued. "I get what he's saying, but we don't live in that world anymore. This is a different world we live in. Concussions are a thing, head injuries are a thing. You can't say that. You were a quarterback in the NFL, no seriously it's a fraternity. You're saying, 'Go kill that guy!' I know what he's saying, 'But hit his head.' He said, 'Head hunt' man. When you are known as a Jalen Hurts hater and you are saying that. Like, this is outrageous. Not OK."
"This is exactly what I feared all along," Ritchie said. "This is what I'm surprised defenses have not done. This is isolate that quarterback and try to destroy him. And we've talked about this. There will be teams who say we're going to spy you, we're going to have a designated hitter who is just going to run up and tattoo you every single snap no matter what you do...Yeah, this is a discussion that's being had in defensive rooms around the league. Some team is going to do this and if it works the next team is going to do it too and we're going to have a problem."
"James nailed it on the head," Rhea Hughes added. "This guy will never admit that he was wrong about Jalen Hurts. That's what it us. You can't say, 'head hunt.' Even [Mike] Florio tried to save him."
Simms has had it out for Hurts, leaving him off of his top 40 QB rankings in 2021 and then ranking him 25th last offseason, before finally ranking him outside the top-5 this summer.
Everyone has been weighing in on the Tush Push play the Eagles have perfected this week from J.J. Watt to Richard Sherman to Nick Wright to Jordan Mailata.
