A Decade of Andy Reid

[Munson]

Nice.
I'd just like one of them to say "Andy, don't you see that in the 3 games that you called a balance attack, you won, and then when you go back to being so pass happy, you lose?"


The answer would probably be "I'm not going to get into all of that."

[General_Failure]

I'm not going to get in to all of that. It is part of your god damned job to get in to all of that! The main part of your job is to correct all of that, preventing it from happening again. And again. And again. Every single week for ten years running.

Reid: Yeah you guys arent too creative

Well neither are you and your predictable offense. Get out of town already, your washed up and your time is over. If you can't evolve with the rest of the division and the league, which you have proven, then you don't deserve a job.

You do realize he can't hear you, right mussa?

As long as this douche is still HC it is going to be hard to get excited about this team.

One more time.

Brian Westbrook, who rushed for more than 1,300 yards last year, got just four second-half carries out of 41 offensive snaps. Correll Buckhalter, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, had one only carry in the game, none after halftime.

Exactly were was Buckhalter?

In reality, there are a few likely reasons that Reid won't cite for the run-pass disparity. Westbrook isn't totally healthy, and with his bad ankle can't cut like he usually does. The offensive line is banged up and inconsistent. Tight end L.J. Smith has struggled with his blocking. The team's best blocking receiver, Hank Baskett, didn't play Sunday. Field position was awful, and Reid wanted to get a big chunk of yards to get out of the soup. Teams are playing eight in the box.

Teams can play eight in the box all the time because the receivers on this team can't get any separation off the line. There isn't a WR on this team that demands double coverage. This fact goes directly back to Andy Reid. He cannot draft a wide out, and feels comfortable with mediocre receivers while he passes more than any NFL coach in history. He's an ignorant, hard headed prick who can't see past his play card. In the meantime this team is millions under the cap every year. You guys tell me if this site is correct or not.

Gold Standard my friggen' ass. More like the Turd Standard.

Yeah the FO has been putting out that 8 men in the box excuse after the loss.

That and how Westbrook was doubled/spied the whole game.

NO REALLY? Every single opposing defense plans the same way against the Eagles. Double/triple Westbrook and then drop back into coverage. Every defense knows they will not run the ball and every defense knows McNabb no longer takes off so they do not need to spy him.

Guess what...every team tries to put 8 in the box against Carolina and the Giants. Does not deter them from running the ball.

I can't even believe that Frank would would suggest these elements as an excuse!

Westbrook is not totally healthy: You have Buckhalter and you have Eckel. No, they are not Westbrook, but they have shown they can run the football. That does not even begin to address the fact that a good number of teams who do effectively run the ball have line-men and their primary runningbacks out.

The offensive line is banged up and inconsistent: Every line in the NFL is banged up by this time of the seaosn. This same banged up line showed that it CAN enable a running game. It did so against New York, it also did so when they were allowed to run.

TE LJ Struggled with his blocking: Which should still enable some up-the-middel running. A full back can help as well (even the defective remedy that is Klecko), and why do we not have an effective blocking TE. If all else fails, then replace LJ with an O-linemen. Other teams can, so why can we not. The simple fact that we do not even have a capable blocking TE is already Reids fault - so is the fact that we not have a proper FB. If anything, this is even more incriminating.

Baskett injured: Might limit you running of the edge, but there are enough options (or should be) in any NFL playbook to work around that problem.

Reid wanted big chunks: And this was well known to the defense, who took away most opportunities. In fact, this is well known to EVERY defense in the league.

Teams are playing 8 in the box: SO WHAT !!. A good team is still able to run against it... in fact the offensive line has proved it can. And even if they have 8 in the box, if they have 2 dropping into coverage at the snap you still have nowhere to go with your short passes, and should easily be able to run against them. In  the present NFL the pre-snap read is as likely as not no indication of what the defense will actually play (drop the LB's into coverage, blitz etc. etc. etc).

Magical, it sounds like you were listening to Eskin yesterday.

I hear ya--Eskin kept bringing that bullshtein up over and over after each caller making more excuses for chubsy wubsy

Now, I know that 8 man in the box and the spy is not this new frightening defensive scheme that defensive coordinators just came up with last week. So, that being the case you mean to tell me they couldnt split Westbrook out wide more or put him the slot--now wheres your spy?

Also, with 8 man in and even with the zesty-ass receivers the Eagles have--you can split 4 receivers wide more frequently to spread the defense and run some effective draws with Buck.

Bottom line is on a day when the Eagles were short-handed with their "best" receivers, they threw against one of the better defensive backfields in the NFL over and over...when the tape Andy Reid should of been watching was the taterskins getting bull-dozed at the line of scrimmage by their last 3 opponents.

[Magical_Retard]

Yeah I did hear the start of his show. He led off with a rant about how the players failed the coach, that he is not a bad coach, and that the taterskins forced them to pass by putting 8 in the box and doubling Westbrook.

BS.

8 men in a box.

Umpossible.
