Bring back the ugly unis!
and while you're at it, get us a new coach. i know this seems like a knee jerk reaction, but i've been thinking this for 3 years now and its time for Andy Cheesesteak to look elsewhere. He has proven time and again that he is incapable of making game time changes. The single biggest error he makes each and every week is that he still refuses to acknowledge the strength of a run game. With the passing game struggling this year, its magnified that much more. Last night Correll Buckhalter of all people led a rushing attack that averaged over 5 yards per carry, while the passing game averaged 2.5 yards per carry. Despite this and a game that was never out of reach until the end of the game, we still did not get to 20 carries. Secondly, anyone watching the game last night could see two things: Justice could not block Osi by himself and McNabb looked scared behind that offensive line. So did Reid adjust, putting in max protection or more run plays to help McNabb get in his rhythm? No, he continued to call 5 and 7 step drop backs, many of which ironically had play-action to give the Giants blitzers more time to get to McNabb before he could even get set. Finally, McNabb just doesn't look right. He is tentative and slow on his feet, and his accuracy is bad even for him. I'm not saying its time for the Kolb era to begin, but at the rate we're going it might be better for McNabb to focus on healing that knee so he's ready for next year. The sad part is the defense is playing amazingly well this year considering half our secondary is hurt and we have a bunch of nobodies or old slow vets in the front 7. Maybe the bye will fix things but right now I'm just ready to have a coach who acknowledges the strength of a run game and Reid just isn't that coach.
