Andy Reid also had some things to say about his communications with his franchise quarterback Donovan McNabb. Again Reid gave the impression that he and McNabb are on the same page.
Dave Spadaro: Can you explain where the team is with Donovan McNabb and the reported meetings that you had and his contract situation?
Andy Reid: "I talk to Donovan often and I try to keep him informed of the things going on here. He's earned that right to know those things over the last 10 years. We're good. I think Don is just getting ready – he had been coming in every day since the season ended and working out and he just left recently for Arizona to continue his workouts – for a big season.
"We have talked to Donovan and we have kept open communication with him. I'm going to keep the content of that communication private."
I think this a great time for McNabb to turn up the pressure on Reid and the front office to be aggressive. They should be trying to add some experienced weapons to the offense and not have this team too dependent on rookies.
He should talk about how the Colts are looking to replace Harrison even though they have two quality receivers and a great tight end already on the roster.
He should mention how the quality teams seem to try to build a team to win it every year.
I don't think this can be done prviately. You have to go public to pressure the Eagles and many times that doesn't work.
Look at the Patriots trying to acquire Julius Peppers.
