NFC Notes: Commanders, Eagles, Giants

Commanders

  • When asked about calling plays in Week 1, Commanders OC Eric Bieniemy responded things went well and heโ€™s always been comfortable with play-calling duties: โ€œIt was good. Obviously, Iโ€™ve been doing this for a number of years. I donโ€™t 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 doesnโ€™t plan on changing how they use Jalen Hurts after the organization signed him to a five-year, $255 million extension. 

โ€œWeโ€™ll always think about protecting him first, but we didnโ€™t pay him more to do less,โ€ said Sirianni, via Tim McManus of ESPN. 

Eagles WR A.J. Brown admits heโ€™d like to see Hurts slide more often. 

โ€œHeโ€™s a competitor, heโ€™s going to try and go get it, and I canโ€™t fault him for that,โ€ Brown said. โ€œBut as a wide receiver, as a friend, I would like for him to slide a couple more times.โ€

Hurts said heโ€™s embracing his knowledge on the field, passing ability, and strength as a runner. 

โ€œBeing someone knowledgeable and understanding of whatโ€™s 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 Iโ€™m embracing, and that I want to continue to excel at,โ€ Hurts said.

Giants

Giants RG Mark Glowinski was critical of their offensive lineโ€™s performance in Week 1 against the Cowboys after giving up seven sacks. 

โ€œIt 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. 

โ€œWe definitely didnโ€™t shoulder our responsibility. Definitely didnโ€™t go out and play our best game. Definitely didnโ€™t go out there and execute,โ€ Neal said. โ€œThat was the result.โ€
