So, how did Jalen Hurts' second day of work go at Philadelphia Eagles training camp? Well, there weren't that many surprises. There were cheers when he took the field. All eyes were on him as the Birds ran their first play... a handoff from QB1 to Saquon Barkley.

Once practice wrapped after about an hour, select media members requested his presence. As was the case with an earlier talk with Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman, a question about a certain quarterback and coach dynamic was the first that he was asked.

Jalen Hurts deservingly is allowed to deliver the final nail in the coffin of an Eagles rumor.

We'll be honest. We hate drama just as much as most of you. We have used the 'Negadelphia' phrase as much as you, but there's a certain responsibility with catering to a football-crazy fan base. When topics dominate discussions and there is an interest among fans, we have to advise everyone of what's happening and form opinions.

Here's our point. Like most of you, we are fans. Unlike so many of you, we attended games that most of you guys watched on YouTube. We have been doing so since the 80s. That being said, we take no pleasure in believing there is drama between players and coaches.

One of the more recent mentions grew legs and did so swiftly. Perhaps you heard. People were agitated by how Jalen Hurts answered a question about Coach Nick Sirianni. Some gave him a hard time and were very critical. Others believed the feedback was a tad over the top. We're thankful because today, we finally bury the conversation once and for all.

So, how does Jalen feel about Nick Sirianni? We're glad you asked. Here's the answer straight from the source.

Let's again make long stories shorter. Jalen and Nick are the owners of two different personality types. That's okay. Their relationship can work. Frankly, we believe it will.

Jalen will approach camp with a dedicated work ethic. So will Nick Sirianni. Again, that's all that matters.
