00:00Let's go to Nick Sirianni. Here he is talking about not playing Saquon Barkley.
00:06I mean, obviously a lot plays into it. Obviously, it's a very special record that's been, you know, standing for a very long time by a great player.
00:16It's a team record, you know, it's a team record that everybody's involved in.
00:21So, you take, you weigh in all those things, but at the end of the day, you just try to do what's best for the team.
00:29You know, again, the bye, when the bye was, guys, how guys are feeling, the bumps and bruises, we can take care of.
00:35We've put ourselves in a position to be able to, let's say, you know, be in this situation.
00:40And so, you know, our goals, you know, are, you know, to have success and to have a good, you know, play good the next game we play, not only New York, but whoever we play after that.
00:56And so, you know, we think that this plays into that.
00:59Okay, so a couple of things. First of all, I hate the Eagles. Second of all, I think this guy's an asshat.
01:07Now, I told my buddy the other day, who's a gigantic Eagles fan, I go, your coach is an asshat.
01:12And I did not use that word. And he said, what do you mean? He's like one ten of 11.
01:17And he fights with fans. He fights with assistant coaches. He fights with the media.
01:27He rambles on and on about nonsensical stuff like that, that whole thing right there.
01:33This is a team game. And that's a record that stood the test of time.
01:37And it's one of the greatest records in the history of the NFL. But we're doing what's best for this team, which is what?
01:43Letting this guy play the first half and having a buck five in the first half and it's over and done.
01:47Then he sits. Like what? You think he's going to get hurt because he plays in the game?
01:52Well, where was that for the last 17 weeks? I just like he's honestly, he's got numb onions.
02:00Honestly, this guy is so painful. I, you know, I can't believe he's still the coach.
02:06Now, look, I don't deny that they're good. And I said this to my buddy who never listens.
02:13I said, listen, I think the Eagles are really good and it's not because of him.
02:18Yes, correct. Yeah, I'm not a big fan myself, Scotty, but I'm wondering how much does this have to do it?
02:28Because you can't play Saquon if you're not playing the starting offensive lineman. Right.
02:33And I'm wondering how many of the starting offensive lineman are playing here because you can't have him go out there with a bunch of backups and get absolutely destroyed.
02:41So if you're sitting him, I better not see any starting offensive lineman out on that field, Scotty.
02:47Otherwise, what in the hell are you doing here? If you don't want to play him because the offensive line ain't together.
02:53Great. But if you're going to play the offensive line but not play him, I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to accomplish here.
