Eagles coach Nick Sirianni revealed the line he uses when Giants fans heckle him in public: 'We got your best player.'
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is used to hearing heckles from New York Giants fans, especially after how last season ended for Philadelphia. Well aware that his squad underperformed after beginning the season at a histroic 10-1 pace, going 1-5 over their final seven games and losing in the wild-card round to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sirianni is not shying away from any of the pressure on him this season. But that doesn't mean he can't throw jabs at some division rival fans.
'' Sirianni is of course referring to the Eagles' new star running back Saquon Barkley, who signed a three-year contract worth nearly $38 million with the squad at the beginning of free agency. Barkley looks to upgrade Philadelphia's ground game after a solid season from last year's Eagles starting running back, D'Andre Swift. Swift rushed for 1,049 yards and five touchdowns on 229 carries last season. He also hauled in 49 receptions for an extra 214 yards.
