A guide to Andy Reid. Pretty good read...

Having said all that, here's what the philosophy boil down to. Throwing is the answer to your problems. I guarantee you'll hear Andy say this in the next year, "keep firing." That's his philosophy. If the pass is not working, you don't give up... you keep firing.

You pass early to get a lead so you can run later to keep it. If you don't get a lead or you fall behind... you keep firing.

And while this may sound bad, let's not forget the facts. Andy's offenses have scored a lot of points. They were 8th in ppg even last year (2011). They were 3rd in 2010. 5th in 2009. 6th in 2008 and so on. Situationally, you will question whether his philosophy makes sense. I certainly do... But when you step back and look at the big picture, they score points.

I cannot believe people are wringing their hands because he might pass the ball too much.

Oh no it risky

Take a look at it this way:

Jamaal Charles had 285 carries this season.

In 2011, LeSean had a similar season in which he carried the ball 273 times.

The difference in their running games outside of those 2?

The 2012 Chiefs also had Hillis and Draughan carry the ball 144 times for a whopping 3.75 YPC. The team ran the ball 500 times.

The 2011 Eagles next 2 leading rushers were Mike Vick and Ronnie Brown with 118 carries together and 5.5 yards per carry. They ran the ball 450 times.

Basically, the 50 extra carries the Chiefs had were ALL with backups and they were less productive to the tune of 2 whole yards per carry.

Efficiency is MUCH better than banging your head against the wall. The run doesn't keep the defense honest. Balance does.

He stopped during the 2006 season.

And he's not calling plays here, already said so.

Reid is a good coach if he has a defensive coordinator. Our defensive Coordinator,hid alot of Andy's short comings when Mcnabb was the qb. Andy calls time outs for no reason. Mismanages the clock. Im glad hes not our coach.

He wont use your running back he hates running the ball. Whoever your qb is,you better hope they're good,because if not defenses will kill them.He made Vick pass 60 times in our first game with no Oline.

Andy loves to call play action passes when we hardly ever ran the ball. Jamal charles will be very upset at Andy not running the ball. This is what our fans complained about the last two seasons. However congrats. Andy is better than Romeo Crunnel. Im happy Andy got another job hes been through alot,lost his son and his job.

Do Eagles fans realize who was the playcaller in Philly?

Mike Martz, Andy Reid...both failed philosophies. There are times when you need to be able to run the ball to keep your defense fresh and ruin the timing of the opposition. Ask the Ravens how that go away from your offensive strength thing is going.

Lets say good bye to Peyton ****ing Hillis. Well Bye

Very interesting, he's strictly going to be an old fashioned coach, focusing on the big picture, delegating authority to trusted assistants.

I LOVE it, it just keeps sounding better and better.

The Ravens were not exactly going any where playing to their offensive strength. They went away from it for a reason.
