Peter King On Eagles Situation Today: ‘It's a Disgrace'

Share

Sports Illustrated's Peter King often seems to be buddy-buddy with Andy Reid when writing about the Philadelphia Eagles. Not today.

In the wake of Andy's decision to let Defensive Coordinator Juan Castillo go, King let loose on the Birds and this "diversionary tactic:"

The defense was unimaginative, and it allowed two 80-yard touchdown
drives in the fourth quarter to Detroit Sunday to aid and abet a Lions
overtime win; a pass rush that was supposed to the envy of the league
had an abysmal seven sacks in six games. I get it.

But
unless Reid does something to address the offense in the next few days
-- the Eagles have a bye this week -- Castillo's firing will be the
biggest diversionary tactic I've seen in the league in some time.
Philadelphia's offense ranks 31st in points per game (17.2), with
explosive players all over the place. It's a disgrace.

Read King's full take here. And get some bonus reader email about people who are outraged that Mike Vick owns a dog.
