NFL Trade Rumors
Despite winning games in almost 70 percent of his starts as a starting quarterback, few rank Eagles QB Jalen Hurts among the elites at the position in the NFL. Philadelphia HC Nick Sirianni defended his QB’s contributions to winning and feels his tremendous rushing impact sometimes gets overlooked since it takes away from his passing output.
“I think it’s convenient,” Sirianni said, via Fox Sports’ Henry McKenna. “It’s convenient to say that wins matter for this particular player. And then sometimes we forget about that.”
“When we get down in the red zone to win the game, we run it, and when we get real close, the quarterback sneaks it in. So maybe he doesn’t have as many touchdown passes. And that affects your passing efficiency.”
“He’ll do whatever he needs to do. And that’s what you admire about him, because all he really cares about at the end of the day is getting the win.”
Giants RB Cam Skattebo made headlines by botching a backflip attempt during Fanatics Fest. When asked about Skattebo’s antics after suffering a dislocated ankle last season, HC John Harbaugh said he hasn’t spoken to the running back but is confident that he will be “ready to go” for training camp.
“My reaction was — I haven’t talked to him yet, I’m going to talk to him I’m sure. My reaction was this: Dude, at least stick it. I mean, land the thing if you’re going to do it, you know?” Harbaugh said, via Bleave. “That was my first reaction. But Skat’s going to be ready to go. He’s been working super hard. He has really been training like crazy. And his mind is on camp. He’s healthy, he’s ready to roll, and I can’t wait to see him out there at practice.”
