Eagles HC Nick Sirianni shares first thoughts on Howie Roseman's three trades
The Philadelphia Eagles were busy over the last week making trades ahead of the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline.
First, the Eagles traded the New York Jets for inside cornerback Michael Carter II. Then they acquired outside cornerback Jaire Alexander from the Baltimore Ravens. Lastly, the Eagles traded the Miami Dolphins for outside linebacker Jaelan Philips.
Those were three areas of need for Philly that general manager Howier Roseman checked off.
Two days after the deadline, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni gave his reaction to the team's three moves, which was nothing short of excitement.
"Looking forward to being able to coach those guys," Sirianni said. "Everyone of them has familiarity with a different guy on our coaching staff, which is always really good. That doesn’t always happen that way, but in this case, it did. Talented guys that have played a bunch of good football in the NFL, each bringing a different thing and bringing depth to our positions."
Sirianni made sure to mention that while he was already happy with the Eagles' current roster, adding to it is cool.
"I was really, really excited about our roster as it was, and it’s been awesome to be able to add to it, Sirianni said. "Thankful for [Executive Vice President/General Manager] Howie [Roseman] to add to it, and we’re really excited to get these guys going and get them involved. We’ll see where they are at the end of the week and what that means for this game this weekend."
Eagles' new guys have an extra day to learn the playbook
The good thing about the Eagles not playing their next game until Monday night is that it gives the new guys another day to get acclimated with how Philly runs their day-to-day.
"We kind of have an orientation for that just to catch them up on everything, every department. We’ve been doing that for a while," Sirianni said. "Every department has different things. [With] coaching, [we] have different things that we do. Just an orientation, essentially, to get them caught up. Our coaches do a good job of that. I spend time with them, my assistant [Assistant to the Head Coach] Cole [Peterson] spends some time with them, with the standards of how we practice.
"It’s not like this is our first time doing that, right? You do that even when you bring a new practice squad guy in. We’ve had a lot of practice at that, but I think the most important thing that we want to stress is a little bit [about] how we practice, what the culture is, our team rules, [and] stuff like that."
Caleb Williams Affirms: ‘We’re Here to Win, Weather Can’t Stop Us!’
