00:00Here's Saquon saying that he wanted to play, but he's okay with not playing.

00:06I mean, he asked me if I wanted to play, if I wanted to go for it.

00:09I said on Sunday, you know, I probably didn't care too much for it.

00:14When I slept on it, I was like, there's an opportunity to implant my, you know, my name

00:20in football history.

00:21I may never get another opportunity like that again.

00:23So I'm down.

00:24But at the end of the day, like, I don't care for putting the team at risk.

00:30He's the head coach for a reason.

00:31He makes the decisions and whatever decision he wanted to make, I let him know if you want

00:34me to play, I'm going to go out there and make sure I get it.

00:36And if we don't, I'm okay with that too.

00:38Yeah, I don't believe that because I don't believe that he has any more significance

00:43on that team than a fly.

00:46I think the Eagles win because of their talent.

00:49And that's the only reason they win.

00:51I've never seen a guy, I really haven't.

00:53In the season that they've had, arguing with fans, getting in fights with fans, getting

00:58in fights with coaches on his own staff.

01:02It makes no sense to me.

01:04Now, remember this.

01:06This was his year.

01:07This was his greatest year in the NFL, Barkley.

01:10He will never repeat this year again as he gets older.

01:15It's not happening.

01:16That's not the way the world works in the NFL.

01:19When you get older, your numbers dive.

01:22That's all there is to it.

01:24And that's just as simple as it gets.

01:25He will never have a chance at Eric Dickerson's record again.

01:29It will not be him.

01:30It will be someone else in the future.

01:32I'm thinking Scataboo.
