Hurts, in many ways, make Barkley better, along with the Eagles' o-line. You have to respect Hurts on RPO's and designed runs. If he's lumbering and isn't a threat to run, then it makes containing Barkley a bit easier. I'll feel much better about my chances with a limited Hurts as that also limits Barkley to a degree.
Jalen Carter: He'll make plays, but limit him as the game goes on. Double Jalen Carter and hope to have long, sustaining drives as well. The longer he's on the field, the less effective he'll be IMO. Speed the game up as well with more "no huddle" and faster tempo, and less "muddle huddle." He's human and will eventually wear down if those scenarios take place.
