It's no secret that Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni loves a good roast.
And during his mandatory minicamp press conference on Tuesday, Sirianni took advantage of a moment to do just that.
When asked what it's like to have a luxury dual-threat running back like Saquon Barkley in his offense, Sirianni didn't hesitate to troll New York Giants fans with his response.
"Man, Saquon, it’s really nice to see him in green," Sirianni said. "And I know, you know, it’s really nice to see him in there. Like we missed the tackle on him the other day on the sideline. Now we’re not tackling, but you can tell without pads on, you can tell if that guy made the tackle or not.
And I had visions back of like him on the sideline, and us watching all these plays on the sideline, of Saquon making somebody miss, and Saquon making somebody miss and doing it again. It was like, it brought me back to that and it’s like, ‘Man, I’m glad that I wasn’t happy that our defensive player missed the tackle on this particular one, but I’m really happy that Saquon, that No. 26 is on our on our side, making the guy miss.’"
The Eagles spent a lot of money getting Barkley to Philly, signing him to a three-year, $37.75 million deal during NFL free agency in March. But it was well worth it, just for the simple fact that they no longer have to face him twice a year.
"Sometimes you see Giants fans around here with it being so close and, you know, they give me a good like, ‘Hey, Go Giants.’ And I typically let it go, but if the guy gets me good enough, I usually say, ‘you know, I got your best player," Sirianni said.
