The real ANdy's mistakes 1. 1 too many cheesesteaks 2. Chad Lewis is starting over LJ Smith ( lj is hurt but should still be starting) 3. Freddie Mitchell is the #3 ( dont give me that he likes being on the field less than pinkston SHIT) 4. Signing Dorsey Levens Back..........
1. Agreed 2. Chad Lewis wasn't going to start this year, L.J. was. Chad knew it, so he went on a new training program and got HUGE. He dwarfs L.J. and he's had very reliable hands. Since L.J. is hurt though, they've been playing him alot more. 3. Freddie really isn't THAT good, I think he will be at one time, but not right now. Pinkston isn't amazing either, but I still think he's slightly better than Freddie. But hey, you even see McMullen making catches so I don't think there is any specific order besides TO. 4. He didn't get to be in training camp this year, so his legs were pretty soft. Look at him now though, 12 rushes for 73 yards and a TD last Monday night. He's running hard, and if we had Buckhalter with Westbrook and Dorsey (although I don't think Andy was planning that). He is doing what we signed him for, to relieve Westbrook. He's doing a great job so far
Singing Levens was smartest Move. They have serious deficiency at back, WESTBROOK can not take the carries of a full time back, he is more effective in limited duty
He's too young. Yea his KR's were impressive, but when he does run the ball (not very often) you can tell he isn't ready yet
Running the ball in college is alot different than in the NFL. Much bigger bodies, and much more complex defenses. It takes time to develop, it all depends on how quickly you can.
Levens is a great "insurance back" for the Eagles. He's done everything they've asked of him this year and more. I wouldn't call that a mistake at all. Getting T.O. was great, but he could have benefitted from signing another veteran in the off season as well.
Well i think that levns is a very good short yardage back and now that brian westbrook has adopted to the starting back i think it was a very good idea to bring back levens just so brian does not get to tired. And i said the same thing about freddie being out there more than pinkston but now that owens has come to the eagles it has freeded up pinkston he has been doing very good lately i must have to say. And maybe andy does eat to much cheese stakes but hell they are 9-1 so he can eat all he wants. PS: have any of you seen andys little cue card i am starting to think it is a menu for genos
