ugh. didn't he turn into a jesus freak?
oh and also destroy a good SD offense?
They were 18th in 2014 and 9th last year, so I guess that's good.
Can he play qb too ?
I didn't realize that he was fired in SD. Not sure if it was due to his own performance or if he was the sacrificial lamb, because the rest of the coaching staff stayed in place. Either way, I'd say he's a middle of the pack kind of guy right now.
San Diego is a bit of a mess right now, so I'm not sure what all happened there. All I know is that he's a PA guy with some experience. Dougie will be calling the plays, but I'm guessing that offensive scheme development will be a group project. Could be interesting if they can actually acquire a receiver who can stretch the field.

Leans more toward sacrificial lamb.
Two basic things to know about the SD offense:
1) Mike McCoy dominated it, so good luck trying to parse out Reich's contributions. Reich did call the plays, but he won't be doing that for the Eagles.
2) The overall numbers don't tell the story. Basically it's a great passing team and a horrendous rushing team.
I wonder what Ryan Mathews thinks of the hire.
Yeah, they were awful running the ball, but that can be attributed to a few things - losing matthews, o-line injuries, and Melvin Gordon being a fumbling bag of suck. Had they even considered the possibility that Gordon would be as bad as he was, I'm not sure they let Matthews walk. But they did and that's good for the Eagles.

He pulled his hammy when he heard the news.
Meh
Hopefully he will push Duuuuuhg to throw the ball down the field and not be dink and dunk

Well, Danny Woodhead led SD in receptions and yards. He's a monster in PPR fantasy. Arguably the Bolts have been one of the dinkiest, dunkiest teams in the NFL, especially after Keenan Allen got injured this past season. And the Eagles don't have anyone like Allen to begin with.
Again, I don't know how much of it is Reich vs McCoy.
I expect dink and dunk though, because Pederson is a West Coast offense guy and Bradford doesn't seem to like firing downfield anyway. Also it's not clear the OL can keep him safe enough to permit more deep balls, and it's not clear the Eagles WRs can get separation with any consistency.
Eagles receivers can't even beat the chalk of the line, let alone an actual athlete. Dink and dunk is exactly what they need with the current personnel.
