no d coach in the league performs that poorly from a stat perspective and keeps his job except mcdermott.

No kidding...did the Texans even wait until the end of the season to fire theirs?

Reid said McDermott will be back.

Between this and AQ Shipley, I'm already pumped for next season.

Of course he did. Reid is nothing if not consistent in his foolishness.

farg Sean McDermott and his useless schemes and farg Andy Reid for bringing the worthless icehole back.

Idiots.

i'm not saying i'm a fan of terrorists.. but if they were to hit.. i might be ok with it if it was the nova care complex.

jim johnson's defenses were less and less effective from 2004 on as they started to lose the good players they had. this is just a continuation of the trend with awful personnel decisions helping it along.

I don't really think we can take Andy Reid at his word on this one. This is mister Donoan McNabb is my quarterback, after all.

I'm certainly not suggesting that McDermott is gone and Andy is just being coy, but we're about 25 hours removed from the end of the season. No chance Reid is telling the world he's firing his DC immediately after a playoff loss.

corey simon was good for a few years.

they are just so incredibly unathletic. it doesn't matter what blitzes they call because foku, sims, jorday, mikell, allen bradely aren't quick enough or fast enough to get there..

at least trotter could blow up the a-gap, dawk was a farging animal blitzing. sheldon, lito, troy and bobby were all great blitzing corners. they are just boring vanilla slugs.

They need a new defensive philosophy

For instance, instead of getting D lineman who can shoot gaps and use their hands to get away from defenders why not get some big stout motherfargers who can stand up to the O-line. Same with the LBs. The front 7 should be physical and stout, not quick guys who can't read an offense and take zesty angles. At least if you're physical shtein happens.

SunMo · January 10, 2011, 09:08:52 PM

that's not mcdermitt...that's reid

MDS · January 10, 2011, 09:13:34 PM

in 12 years andy hasnt invested in anything resembling a linebacker

he inherited trotter and sent him packing when he asked for money. then trotter came crawling back and kissed the ring and thats when they went to the super bowl....of course it took trotter 7 weeks to unseat mark farging simoneau as the starter and in the first handful of weeks he was on special teams

maddening beyond belief

General_Failure · January 10, 2011, 09:16:59 PM

At least they had Carlos Emmons for a couple years.
