Commanders
- When asked about calling plays in Week 1, Commanders OC Eric Bieniemy responded things went well and heโs always been comfortable with play-calling duties: โIt was good. Obviously, Iโve been doing this for a number of years. I donโt think anybody ever thought I called plays, but I have called plays (laughs). So it was good.โ per Nicki Jhabvala.
Eagles
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni doesnโt plan on changing how they use Jalen Hurts after the organization signed him to a five-year, $255 million extension.
โWeโll always think about protecting him first, but we didnโt pay him more to do less,โ said Sirianni, via Tim McManus of ESPN.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown admits heโd like to see Hurts slide more often.
โHeโs a competitor, heโs going to try and go get it, and I canโt fault him for that,โ Brown said. โBut as a wide receiver, as a friend, I would like for him to slide a couple more times.โ
Hurts said heโs embracing his knowledge on the field, passing ability, and strength as a runner.
โBeing someone knowledgeable and understanding of whatโs going on โ on the field โ being able to make those throws and being able to cause problems on the ground as well, those are the three areas as a quarterback Iโm embracing, and that I want to continue to excel at,โ Hurts said.
Giants
Giants RG Mark Glowinski was critical of their offensive lineโs performance in Week 1 against the Cowboys after giving up seven sacks.
โIt was very disappointing. All I can do is move on from that and be better,โ Glowinski said, via Jordan Raanan of ESPN.
Giants RT Evan Neal admits their offensive line failed on execution.
โWe definitely didnโt shoulder our responsibility. Definitely didnโt go out and play our best game. Definitely didnโt go out there and execute,โ Neal said. โThat was the result.โ
