Nick Sirianni midweek press conference today.
Here’s what he had to say about the ugly Dallas loss:
On Miles Sanders not getting enough of the ball:
“Does he need more than five touches? Of course. The way the game went, he didn’t get that. And yes, when guys are down because of their role and we expect more from that role, be it they didn’t accomplish it on their own or I didn’t give them a chance to accomplish it, we’ve got to pick them up. That’s what a team does. Pick them up and let them know you believe in them still. As far as Miles getting touches, there’s no doubt; we gotta get our playmakers the ball. He’s a playmaker. He’s shown he’s a playmaker, whether it’s screen game, out of the backfield, or getting the ball (on a hand off).”
Looking through Miles Sanders’ game log, you find that five touches is the lowest number he’s ever posted. Ever. Even during his rookie year, his least-involved game featured three carries and three receptions. Gotta get him going against Big Red and the Chiefs on Sunday.
