Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to reporters on Friday, and while he wasn’t asked about the upcoming Giants game, he did talk quite a bit about Jalen Hurts checking to plays and the freedom he has to do so. He also explained how they make corrections when those plays don’t work out, and why the onus is always on the coaches.
A.J. Brown explained earlier in the week that he appreciates Sirianni’s loyalty, pointing to the head coach taking the fall for an improvised play at the end of the Seahawks game. Sirianni said that he always appreciated coaches doing that for him when he was a player, and he doesn’t let his pride interfere with protecting his guys.
