Jeremiah Trotter: “Andy Reid got out-coached in a lot of games”

Jeremiah Trotter played a total of seven seasons for Andy Reid in three different stints with the Eagles. And he thinks he lost a lot of games because Reid got out-coached.

“If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise, I think the opponent’s team would win if it came down to coaching,” Trotter said on 97.5 The Fanatic, via Philly.com. “Andy Reid got out-coached in a lot of games, man, a lot of big games,” Trotter continued. “Time outs, running the football, you know.”

Trotter said Reid’s offensive style made things different for the defense and the late defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who ran the defense in Philadelphia until his death in 2008.

“As a defense, we understood we passed the ball too much. You know, there’s times we’re sitting over there like, ‘Man, listen. Just get us a couple of first downs so we can get a break.’ And I’m sure it frustrated Jim Johnson also,” Trotter said

Still, Trotter acknowledges that he won a lot of games during his time with Reid, and he says he would have given Reid a 7.5 or 8 on a scale of 1-10. I shudder to think what he’d say about a coach who was a 1.

heh, no kidding.....

Some Eagles fan posted on another relative of mines FB today that "Reid has no business being on an NFL sideline" WTF? Understandably alot of Eagles fans are bitter because he never won a title, but come on.....

[ArrowheadMagic]

then why did he give him a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 as a coach? Maybe in a sport with high head injuries, we shouldnt go by what the players think?

Trotter is expressing the same concerns I expressed about Reid.

Sure, but a 7.5 to 8 is alot better than the .5 to 1 we have been used to.

At some point players have to make plays, Eagles werent better than the Pats, McNabb isnt better than Brady. Reid isnt without blame, but did the coach get them to 5 NFCCG's or was it the players? Who is to blame if they lose?

Reid does have Herm like clock management, so that will be painful.

It's not too surprising that a defensive player would have some issues with a pass-happy coach.

Reid will work to get a QB. Reid knows what he needs to win. Not sure of the perfect coach...i.e.. drafts picks always pan out, wins everything.... maybe we shouldnt hire a coach until we find that guy.
