Nick Sirianni talks Eagles-Browns practices, DeVonta Smith’s development, and more

The Eagles were back for their second joint practice with the Browns on Friday and head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to reporters before taking the field. He talked about the team’s performance in Thursday’s joint practice, what he’s seen from the safety position, and also explained his penchant for defending his players.

Jacoby Brissett joked that Sirianni wanted to fight fans that boo’ed, but the Eagles’ head coach explained that he grew up with two older brothers and parents who fiercely defended each other, so it’s just what he’s used to. That’s how he’s always been.
