“Of course, the team was going to have his back and say, 'No, coach, it's not on you. It's on us.' But all the coach had to do was call a squib kick. A squib kick at the end of the game is normal and done all the freaking time.”

Samuel argued Sirianni should have called a squib kick in the final seconds instead of allowing a live return.

“You lost the game for your team,”

Samuel blamed Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni for the team's 19-17 walk-off loss to the Jaguars in London.

“Nick Sirianni must have had a lapse in his brain or something and wasn't paying attention for him to miss out on that situation,”

Samuel criticized Sirianni's lack of awareness in the closing moments of the Jaguars loss.

“There's no way your team fights that hard for that long, and you let your team down by not making sure the right call is being made.”

Samuel said the Eagles' effort was wasted by Sirianni failing to make the right call at the end of the game.
