The Philadelphia coach has always been unabashedly himself, and it’s paying off for his surging team. Plus, Zach Ertz talks the Commanders’ process-driven culture in Albert Breer’s Tuesday notes.
yelled at those Philadelphia Eagles fansIn both instances, the easy thing to say was that Sirianni lacked the square-jawed, polished, hard-edged demeanor needed to be the football coach in that city. What was overlooked was who Sirianni is: unabashedly himself, and a coach unshaken by what some guy with sketchy cell service is saying on WIP-FM on a fall Monday morning.
“We don’t have time to feel good about anything, because we have a lot of the season to go. Again, I know that’s not the answer you want. It’s boring. But it’s the boring, it’s the monotonous grind, it’s our habits that are paying off right now. And we’ll continue down that road.”The Commanders improved to 8–5 after a convincing 42–19 win over the Titans. / Geoff Burke-Imagn Images
So, when I had 12-year veteran tight end Zach Ertz on the phone after Sunday’s game, I asked if he somehow saw this coming when he followed his old Cardinals coach, Kliff Kingsbury, to Washington. But it also proved a point. Perhaps one of the biggest criticisms of Buffalo the past few years, and a fair one, was that the Bills were built like a dome team. And that’s problematic when the best-case scenario for that team is to be playing its biggest games in Western New York in January .This Bills team looks like one that can hold up in the elements, or at least far more so than its most recent predecessors.
So how will the Niners approach negotiations with how this year has gone? If they want to take a hard line—and they could—they could use the availability of guys such as Sam Darnold and maybe even Kirk Cousins as leverage this offseason. So what will be the deciding factor? I’ve heard the football people there could be under a mandate to draft a quarterback in April. And if that’s the plan, whoever the head coach is will have a pretty big impact on who that quarterback is, and how he develops early in his career. This makes the question whether Mark Davis believes Pierce would be the right guy to captain the ship.
