Simone Cuccurullo

Saquon Barkley spoke to the team after the game — not something he usually does. "I'm not really a big talker, to be honest. Felt like the moment was right.. Just how I look at life. I feel like you just never quit. You never give up. You just keep fighting, no matter what, whoever the situation is, how it looks. And I feel like that we have the men in the locker room to do it. We put ourselves in this situation. We gotta dig ourselves out of it. "I know that I gotta take more of a a role of being vocal, using my voice. I'm more of a lead-by-example type of guy, but it happens when you have guys banged up, and a guy like Jalen, who's really basically the vocal leader. It's gonna take you know me and Jordan, all all of us to kind of fill that void. I think we're doing a great job leading, and we're working our ass off. And it just it sucks when the results aren't going the way you wanted to go. But I'm sounding a broken record. But I really bought into this mindset."
