Nick Sirianni turned to veteran corner Darius Slay during the team meeting to start Week 12.
Nick Sirianni is always trying to find unique ways to get through to his team and he called on one of his veterans to help him on Wednesday.“We talked about Slay today,” Sirianni said early Wednesday afternoon. “He was the topic of our team meeting today, just being able to overcome adversity. So you have to overcome adversity in-game and DBs have to go through that quite a bit. And you have to overcome adversity through your career.
The Lions used the No. 36 overall pick to take Slay out of Mississippi State but he actually got benched during his rookie season.“I wanted to give everybody that perspective because everybody’s journey is not the same,” Slay said. “The same guy that benched me twice, my head coach Jim Schwartz, who was the DC here who stood on the table to get me traded here. Obviously, saw the growth and everything.
During his four years as Eagles head coach, Sirianni has found inspiration for his team meetings from many different sources. But it’s special to him when he can share the story of one of his most respected players. “Again, just can't say enough about the leaders that we have on this football team, particularly the two you asked about. Man, big time leaders. That's important for any team, any organization.”
