Was Jaws Paying Attention?

by JasonB on Jan 30, 2012 5:13 PM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

Ron Jaworski was on ESPN today to react to the news that the Eagles would be keeping Juan Castillo as defensive coordinator. He was directly asked what his reaction was to the news. His reply was the following.

I have to wear two hats here. As an ESPN NFL analyst I know how the Eagles work. They're an organization that likes to take emotion out of every decision they make. They take time to make decisions and for the most part , they make the right decisions.

Now I'll put on my hat as a fan. As a fan, we like to know what's going on. I'm around the community of Philadelphia, I talk to people and as fans they want some information and the silence has been deafening. We all know the Eagles are working hard to shore up their problems, but they're telling nothing to the fans and as fans we want a little something.

This would have been a perfectly good response to the question, "what are your thoughts on the Eagles waiting so long to confirm that Castiilo would be back?"

Either way, Jaws will get his wish when Andy Reid meets the media tomorrow at noon.

Reid

Will provide no answers tomorrow nor answer any objective questions that are even legit ones. Right or wrong it is how he handles press conferences.

by MG77 on Jan 30, 2012 5:42 PM EST reply actions

That's ok too...........

I think it’s ok to keep your cards hidden.
especially when you got squat for a hand.
but really, what do you want him to say ?
he doesnt know who he is getting and shouldnt say who he wants for certain.
just let them play their hand out and move on .
all the bitching in the world isnt gonna make anything happen.{at least not the way you want}
I.E.“we want Ricky”
but we got Donavon………
worked out fairly well in the long run.
ok……not perfect , but better than expected , right ?

I understand he doesn’t answer all questions. There are times though when reporters ask him valid questions on why he chose to do something in a game that directly effected it & he simply doesn’t answer them. Doesn’t even try to provide an answer. Sometimes is even sarcastic with them a bit or short.

Explanations vary (e.g., arrogance, nothing want to give other teams info, etc) but I can understand why Reid infuriates and frustrates both the fan base and reporters at times. Simply doesn’t tell you what he was thinking or what motivates him.

I completely understand when he doesn’t answer questions related to off-field incidents/personal matters. He should though at least provide some basic answers though to legit post-game questions.

Couldnt agree more with this.

Soooooooooooo...

he should just throw players , asst’s under the bus ?Or maybe ,just let on to other teams what weaknesses they have ?Although i understandd the aggravation at his demeanor toward the press , and his " I don’t answer to you " attitude . I kind of enjoy it and accept it as his persona . Not really much to do about it , except bitch alot.And that certainly does nothing but elevate blood pressure.

ps> and most of those legit post game questions......

are either totally obvious[sp] that are only trying to lead him into a finger pointing blame game , or an attempt to demean his players ,coaches abilities as pros.

as much as i would like to know whether reid pursued anyone for the position, i agree that he needs to stand behind juan now. just please dont use zone coverage so much juan!!

I would think that he answered that way, because you can’t say “Aw fuck, another year of this shit,” on ESPN.

I think we're bummed going into this presser because it means something we didn't want.

Mike Vick: "Why would they kick to Desean?"

Looking forward to a 7-9, 8-8 season, I guess.

The bright side is that we’re not going to have to spend a lot of Sunday or Monday nights watching Eagles football. The games will be safely tucked in the 1:00 EST slot so that when Castillo’s shitty defense coughs up 6 fourth quarter leads in the first 4 weeks (not a typo, by the way), we’ll have plenty of time to rake leaves and whack off.

God Damn you, Andy Reid.

The fat queen has failed us again. Reid must go.

It sure does.

The bad news? Castillo's back.

The good news? With the 7-9 season coming up and all the Eagles games being played at 1:00 (and in the bag for the opponent by 2:30 at the latest), we'll all have plenty of time to rake the leaves and whack off. Stock up on your Astro Glide, ladies!

I recommend...

… that you rake leaves second. Splinters, y’know? I hate em.

Top offseason goals

1. Sign and draft a linebacker. Bring in D’ Qwell Jackson or Stephen Tulloch. Jackson is an absolute tackling machine and came back strong from injury. Then I say still draft either Burfict or Kuechly but I prefer Burfict.

2. Bring in LaRon Landry or Tyvon Branch. Or draft Mark Barron. Branch is more reliable as he is not injured often but Landry is a top 5 safety when healthy.

3. Re-sign Evan Mathis and Derek Landri. Mathis was a great all season and Derek Landri was constantly in the other teams backfield disrupting plays and should be brought back.

by ryanitus on Jan 30, 2012 10:23 PM EST via mobile reply actions

4. Re-sign DeSean or go after Dwayne Bowe. Maclin is almost as fast as DeSean and is a better all around wide out. Add in a Dwayne Bowe who is more of a possession receiver and has been a beast for KC since he was drafted.

5. Find a suitable backup for LeSean McCoy for one season them let Dion Lewis take over. Sign a backup QB. Kyle Orton, Jason Campbell, Sage Rosenfels or Shaun Hill are all adequate backups.

by ryanitus on Jan 30, 2012 10:35 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

I may be in the minority here

and I’m OK bringing in a safety to compete, but I would wager our starting safeties are Nate Allen and JJ(not the late great) this year. I think Allen will be a lot better coming off a whole off-season and no-injury and while the jury is still out on JJ, Bowles who has been involved in developing several Pro-bowl safeties, will help to develop both.

by Eaglessfan on Jan 30, 2012 11:48 PM EST up reply actions

Everything else

I agree with.

by Eaglessfan on Jan 30, 2012 11:49 PM EST up reply actions

Well a solid vet who can get the job done like a Darren Sharper or something is good and I believe Allen is long to be good but why not sign a proven star safety like Landry if you can.
