Andy Reid: "I like our receivers"

While many in and around Philly have lambasted Big Red for the Eagles shortcomings and a good deal have called for him to be fired, I've defended the guy over and over. That isn't to say that I haven't had my doubts about decisions he's made such as the benching of McNabb in the Baltimore game last season and the how he had someone else break the news to Donovan. Still, it's hard to argue with AR's results as he's won more games than any head coach in Eagles history.

With the exception of the failed TO experiment and drafting DeSeasn Jackson, Reid has come up short in terms of providing McNabb with top-notch receivers who consistently make big plays and stretch a defense. That's kind of difficult to fathom when you consider AR worships at the alter of the pass game and who at times, treats the run like a red-headed step-child. I just don't understand how Reid can appear to be so incredulous about the wide receiver position. AR has two #1 picks and over $40 million in cap space available which gives him more ammunition than most teams have and it will be interesting to see whether this opportunity is capitalized on or squandered away. One thing is certain... I also "like" our receivers however adding a guy like Anquan Boldin, would change that word to "love".
