Is Reid wearing out his welcome?
By Mike Gill
Andy Reid announced Monday at his day after press conference, that Brian Westbrook fractured two ribs in Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the Washington Redskins. Reid did not indicate how long Westbrook will be on the shelf.
Talk about a team in trouble.
The Eagles now stand at 2-and-3, and are two-and-a-half games behind the pack in the NFC East. Losing your best weapon when your season is slipping has the town in a panic and now has the city asking for Andy Reid’s head. This goes back to the draft, where the Eagles had a chance to draft Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones. If Westbrook misses time, wouldn’t Jones be a great replacement?
Instead the Birds decided on DT Trevor Laws, who may or may not be a integral part of this years team and future teams, but both Donovan McNabb and Westbrook asked for play-makers this off season. The Eagles responded by trading their first round selection and drafting a defensive tackle – hardly offensive fire-power.
This is a team that is so stubborn that their best wide-out, DeSean Jackson had one pass called for him on Sunday because he ran the wrong route in a game on Sunday night. Do we take away Reid’s responsibilities after he makes a mistake? Of course not (though we’d like to).
This season opened with a ton of promise and looked like it was going to be a wild, exciting ride, now this Eagles team has Philly fans thinking canning big red in favor of Phillies red.
