Eagles at Cardinals: Breaking down the coaches
By Perry

Coaches:

  • Andy Reid:  Say what you want to say about Andy Reid, but he is one of the best coaches in the NFL.  At times during the season, Philadelphia fans wish they could communicate to Andy via headset and say things like “run the ball…RUN THE BALL,” “a quarterback sneak will get you ONE YARD,” and “dude, you seriously need to lose weight.”  However, he sticks to his guns and doesn’t divert from the coaching philosophies that made him a very successful coach during his 10-year career in Philadelphia.  This will be Andy’s fifth Championship game in eight years and you have to like the ‘experience factor’ (and the playoff beard) heading into this Sunday’s game.
  • Tony LaRussa:  Talk about experience, Tony has coached two World Series champions and has won four Manager of the Year awards.  However, I believe Tony will be ‘asleep at the wheel’ this weekend.  He won’t blow a .093 blood alcohol content (ironically the same level Kerry Collins reached in the Ravens/Titans game), but he will blow his chances to keep pace with the Philadelphia Eagles.
