Embattled coach Andy Reid was still being criticized Monday for leaving star running back LeSean McCoy in the game during the waning minutes of Sunday’s 31-6 blowout loss to the Redskins. McCoy suffered a concussion with less than two minutes to play, making his status questionable for next Monday night against the Panthers. Reid continued to defend his decision to reporters Monday. "There are a few things that you wish wouldn’t happen," Reid said. "That (McCoy’s injury) obviously would be one of them. These kids want to play. There are two sides to this. There’s the side that you ask me, 'Did you feel like they quit?’ Well no these guys want to play, they want to win the game, they want to get better, they want to show that they’re all in, so there’s a fine line there. "And then as coaches you want to make sure the guys know that you’re all in too. With that, I don’t regret it. It happened," Reid said. "Do I wish he wouldn’t have been hurt? Yeah. I do wish he wouldn’t have been hurt but I don’t regret that (decision to leave McCoy in).’’ Reid said he didn't think McCoy’s concussion was as severe as the one suffered by Michel Vick the previous week. Vick missed Sunday’s game and still has not been cleared to practice. "It (McCoy’s) didn’t seem to be quite as bad just from where he was after the game and the response," Reid said. "He took a good lick there and we’ve got to make sure we go through the protocol. We’ll see how things go." Source: Sporting News
the bigger question for me is why does he take him put of the game so often, early on and let brown run the ball. put the ball in leseans hands
He lets a rookie quarterback throw the ball 40 times during the game then, when down 20 with less than 2 minutes left he runs the ball to try and win the game? Yea, sounds legit.
Uh, you think LeSean wanted to be out of the game? This is one of the weakest arguments against Reid.
