What was Nick Sirianni’s message to end the spring?

The spring minicamp ended Thursday with offensive coaches doing gassers after linebacker Brandon Smith stopped tryout wide receiver Griffin Hebert short of the first-down marker on the decisive play of a 7-on-7 compete period.

The players and coaches commence their summer break and will reconvene for the start of Training Camp in late July.

Here are some highlights to wrap up the spring:

1. What was Head Coach Nick Sirianni’s message to the team?

“One of the main messages was come back in the best shape of your life. One of our core values is detail … and to play with great detail, you have to be in great shape,” Sirianni said.

“Our guys have done a great job of being in the weight room, of running extra after practice, running during practice, different things, our strength staff and training staff has done a great job of helping these guys get in great shape and now it’s maintaining that so when they come in, it’s not getting in shape, we hit the ground running and we go. There will be natural soreness and things like that as you practice, but it’s being in great physical shape so we can play with great detail.”

2. How was Jalen Hurts’ spring?

“I think he’s done a really nice job adapting to some of the different things that we’re doing,” Sirianni said. “Some of the different – there’s different concepts. There’s similar concepts, but in those similar concepts sometimes we’re asking him to read it differently than we have in the past. There’s similar things with the way the routes are being run, and there’s some differences of how we’ve run it in the past, as well, that goes with how the play is supposed to be designed.

“I think he’s done a very nice job handling things that are similar but as his job has changed a little bit and done a really nice job of really grinding away to be a master at the offense and all the things that come with it.”

For Hurts, after reflecting and gaining “a new perspective” of the offense, he appreciates that there is “a lot of new inventory.” Between now and the start of Training Camp, Hurts’ focus will be on enhancing that connection with his receivers and not taking the critical chemistry for granted.

“I treat every year like I’m a freshman, like I’m a rookie and being diligent and patient in everything that I’m doing,” Hurts said. “That requires you to learn the individuals that you’re out there to battle with. See what they’re good at and see what…
