Runyan Is Not Pleased
Jul 30, 2008 Eagles Rumors
It seems like most Eagles have been asked about “the situation” with Shawn Andrews, and to this point everything has been positive. Well, not anymore. Big Jon is tired of this nonsense:
“It’s not helping us and it’s not helping him sitting out.”
Asked whether Andrews can miss most of training camp and step back in to his right guard spot and start, Runyan said, “Coach Reid isn’t going to let that happen. So I’m not worried about it.”
Runyan is always a refreshing quote, isn’t he? And you’ve got to wonder then if Reid has been making promises to the rest of the O-line in Andrews’ absence, or if Runyan is just speculating.
And in other news… the team may be adding this new wrinkle to the red zone offense:
–Donovan McNabb never has been a big fan of the fade pass, which is why the Eagles don’t throw it much. But he completed two nice fades to wide receiver Hank Baskett and tight end Matt Schobel in 11-on-11 goal line work.
The fade pass has been surpassed in popularity by that “wide receiver pushoff- catch outside of the defender” pass that Randy Moss and TO are so good at. I doubt the Eagles have a receiver capable of executing the move, which requires a high degree of physicality, so I guess the fade may have to do. They don’t have much else working on the outside in the red zone.
