Eagles' Sirianni is a players' coach, no matter what you think of him

PHILADELPHIA -- It was during OTAs last spring when Eagles coach Nick Sirianni tapped left tackle Jordan Mailata on the shoulder as he passed him on the first floor of the practice facility and said, "Hey, come up and see me in my office when you have time."

"F---, what did I do wrong?" Mailata thought. Did he slip up at practice? Had he said something he shouldn't have to the media?

After getting himself a plate of food in the cafeteria ("If I was getting told off, I was getting told off eating," Mailata joked), he walked upstairs to Sirianni's office.
