Reid Ties Into Trot And The Defense
Written by Garry Cobb
Thursday, 09 August 2007

Those of you who are familiar with the coaching style of Andy Reid know that he's very slow to criticize his players publicly. That's why I was stunned when he scolded his defense today at practice.

A number of times this morning during a relatively short workout Andy walked over the defensive huddle and started reprimanding them for letting the backup offense move the ball against them. Ryan Moats juked his way to about five yards up the middle. A.J. Feeley connected with Jason Avant on a slant route for about 7 or 8 yards. After each play Reid walked over the defense and let them know he was happy with their performance.

Finally Reid just blew his stack, looked over at the defensive huddle with Jeremiah Trotter standing out front getting ready to make the call, and said, "I guess I need to get Gaither back in here" Yes that's what he said and he knew that all of the reporters were within earshod to hear his statement. Clearly this statement was aimed at middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. Gaither had made a few plays earlier in the practice and has had an outstanding camp.

In all fairness Trot has had a good camp as well but he just can't do much against the pass any more. Gaither on the other hands has gotten better. He's got a fresh pair of legs and a nose for the football. It's going to be very interesting how they use these guys as the season continues. Stay tuned.

Holy shtein.

[SunMo]

that's going to be a problem, teams are just going to throw more on 1st and 2nd down when Trots in there if he can't play the pass

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I don't think Trot will be in there for 1st and 2nds after game four. Gaither, from all accounts, has outplayed him in camp and it's not like Trot is going to miraculously get back to his pro-bowl form.

I love that Andy called him out

The last three pages makes me more furius that we used our highest draft pick on a qb. What are the two perfect perfect risk/benefit positions to pick during the 2nd round: TE and Saftey.

donovan darius

He's a Raider.

yes i'm aware of that

Are you?

[Magical_Retard]

but wait from all the camp reports...trotter was over the field and the best shape of his life. wtf?

you guys mean to tell me that everyone is not doing superb at camp? wtf ive been lied too!

[Dillen]

I like how Reid was talking about Gaither in front of anyone though. Supposedly he's been showing more and more "leadership." Now I think leadership is completely overrated, just that outside of Cole it's nice to know the Eagles actually have a really good young defensive player that we know will be around for awhile.
