Nick Sirianni calls ‘bulls***’ on idea that Jalen Hurts was ‘along for the ride’ during Eagles Super Bowl run - PhillyVoice
“I think that’s bullshit,” Nick Sirianni said of the notion that Hurts was along for the ride during the Eagles’ Super Bowl run. “I mean, he plays the most important position in all of sports. And it’s the most ultimate team game there is. And what I admire about him is his selflessness of doing anything we need to do to win, whether that’s throw – I mean, obviously, anybody who plays quarterback is going to want to throw it 50 times a game — but he will do anything. If he has to throw it 50 times a game, he’s ready to do that. If he has to hand it off 50 times a game, he’s ready to do that. And anytime I hear that, I just... It’s like a nice debate thing that people like to have, and I get it. There’s a lot of hours that TV shows and radio stations have to fill to be able to fill that debate. I understand that, but we’re talking about the most ultimate team game there is, and he does whatever he needs to do to win each and every game. And so you name me a team that wins and wins consistently, that doesn’t have good players around. You name me a – and speak on my end – like you name me a coach that doesn’t have good players around him that wins.”
The word Eagles coach Nick Sirianni won’t say after winning the Super Bowl ahead of 2025 training camp - PHLY
There’s a word Nick Sirianni won’t purposely utter this summer. He won’t bring it up with the team, he won’t volunteer it in public comments, and if it’s directed toward him, he’ll fight semantics. “When you say ‘repeat’ something,” Sirianni said, “that’s not where I want to go.” No, the Eagles coach will not discuss repeating as Super Bowl champions. He’ll be happy to entertain what goes into “sustained success,” which is the terminology he prefers when the topic of the 2025 Eagles is raised. Just don’t ask him about repeating. Much can be learned about the Eagles by taking Sirianni’s temperature during the summer. Two years ago, the Eagles were navigating the pain of losing the Super Bowl. Last summer, they were piecing together their culture after a historic collapse. This summer, though, the Eagles are on top of the league. There’s a second sterling Lombardi Trophy in the team facility. Jeffrey Lurie wondered aloud if they were among the best teams in NFL history. The franchise is hosting a ring ceremony on Friday night. The team then reports to training camp four days later with a quest to repeat. Except those are not Sirianni’s words.
