Former New York Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum weighed in on the Philadelphia Eagles' approach to the postseason.
Alongside NFL analysts Bart Scott and Dan Graziano, Tannenbaum, during a recent segment on "Get Up," debated whether Philadelphia should push for Saquon Barkley to break the single-season rushing record or focus on securing the coveted Super Bowl ring.
Without mincing his words, he straightaway mentioned how Barkley’s individual rushing record should take a back seat when the ultimate goal is a Super Bowl win.
"If I am Howie Roseman," Tannenbaum said, [00:03:07] "I am coming out of the box. I'm going down to the field. I'm taking his helmet. I want to get a ring, not a record. Saquon, you could have been better. This has been outstanding on the field. Off the field? We don't care about this record. We want to win a ring, and we're going to sit you. Well, if we know that the seat is locked in 1 or 2. Greeny, you put all personal records aside and we're trying to win a championship."
