Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is a fan of metaphors, evidently. On Wednesday the first-year head coach provided a strange metaphor on the team's growth this season.
Philadelphia is just 2–5 to start the season and Sirianni said he's focused on the team's growth more than anything. To illustrate his mindset he showed players a picture of a flower sprouting out of the ground and its roots growing underneath the surface. Having an NFL coach talking about fertilization was not on anyone's NFL press conference bingo card but here we are.
"The results aren't there right now, but what's going on here is there's growth under the soil," Sirianni said.
