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 LOVE it, it just keeps sounding better and better.

Watched two of the mic'd-up videos of Reid from NFL Films last night. I was was struck by his attention to detail during practices.

He's not screaming his head off or cursing, so get ready for dipshit fans to complain that Reid doesn't have enough "fire in his belly," but he's attentive to pretty much everything, including the demeanor established by his QB.

This is going to be a more disciplined team, and we're not going to be turning the ball over every two seconds.

That makes perfect sense... except for the recent swoon, his teams almost never look unprepared, they might lose, but they almost never looked like total ass.

He's a stickler, thank GOD.

They looked like ass because Michael Vick reverted to what he really was. The dude flat sucks. That left them relying on Nick Foles, who was completely overmatched at that point of the season.

You can bet that with a full offseason of prep work, Foles would have been ready for 2013.

Vick had an amazing stretch a few years ago. It really was great.


But it blinded alot of people into thinking he's something that he's not.

[Mother****erJones]

So excited this seems surreal. Good HC great front office coming. Good veteran staff. My O My

[Bewbies]

We just watched the worst team we've ever had and it looks like we're going in the exact opposite direction. Passing offense, attacking defense. Sign my ass up!

Dude im an Eagles fan and Vick was not the problem at all. He had no starters on his Oline,try 3rd and 4th stringers,we didnt run the ball much,and Andy made Vick pass 50/60 times a few games which was absolutely dumb. He nearly got Vick killed. He started Foles and RUNS THE BALL alot. Vick was far from the problem on our team. It started when Reid moved Castillo to the defense. Castillo had no experience with defense whatsoever.

This has been looked upon as the dumbest move in NFL history courtesy of Andy Reid. On top of that we got rid of nearly all the good players on our Oline from 2010, for worst talent. Everyone wondered why Vick wasnt the same as 2010 its because of the Oline changes and scheme. Howard Mudds blocking scheme requires the qb not to run much. Thus not creating running lanes for Vick like Castillo did.

On top of that it required Vick to call his own protections. Basically Mudds scheme gave Vick responsibilities that made him think more than just going out and play. Castillo was a great Olines coach. Every Lineman Mudd brought in sucked. Mudds scheme was designed for Peyton Manning and the Colts. The problem is Vick is a mobile qb,not a statue, and oh yea Manning is probably the greatest qb ever. But im still happy that Andy has a new home. He's been through alot and hes a very tough man

If Breaston stays I'm drafting him in FF this season.

And stand there like a statue and get blasted and on top of that it required Vick to call his own protections.

You mean be an NFL quarterback.

Have Chiefs players said anything yet?

Dude Peyton wouldnt have succeeded on the Eagles with our horrid line. Foles broke his hand because one of em missed a block. Peyton probably almost never runs and btw youre talkin about the greatest qb in NFL history bro. Mudds putrid blocking scheme and his pop warner players couldnt block a college DLineman. Manning made his scheme look better than it really was.

[Pestilence]

Basically what I'm hearing is that the issue was with Vick and Mudd.

Neither one of them will be in KC.
