Now this is good news. Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com reports that the Eagles fired defensive line coach Rory Segrest. Now this move I agree with totally, but the guy you have to blame for Segrest being in the job to begin with is Andy Reid.
Segrest came to the organization without anything worth mentioning on his resume. Before he came here he coached at Southeast Missouri State and Samford College. Have you ever heard of Southest Missouri State and Samford College? Since when do they have great football teams. How did he get a job here?
The former Southest Missouri State and Samford College coach was given the special teams job. He was horrible. So what did Andy do since Segrest was so bad as a special teams coach. He promoted him to be defensive line coach.
I think Andy was trying to help Segrest in his career but that’s not fair to the players on the football team and the rest of the coaches. What on this guy’s resume is worthy of him being a member of the coaching staff in the first place?
Now you have wasted a year in the progress of the young defensive linemen, Brandon Graham, Daniel Te’o Nesheim and Ricky Tapp, which were supposed to be the key to this defense coming into its own.
Segrest might have been the fool who told the front office to get rid of Jason Babin, who had 13.5 sacks this season and Chris Clemons, who had 11 sacks this season. They couldn’t play for Segrest but they left and all of sudden became stars.
The guy couldn’t coach special teams, what’d Reid Expect?
WAHOOO! HE SUCKED!
Something isnt right. I cant put my finger on it but it isnt right. These moves are being made while Reid is on vacation? I think Reids job is in jeapordy. I really do.
Dag – Stop getting our hopes up! Seriously, if they were going to make a HC change they’d do that instead of focusing on underlings. A new HC would choose his staff. AR is going to be here as long as he wants to be..
Not this year but I think Reid is on the hot seat.
WOOHOO this offseason is already a success and it technically hasnt even started!
I think these moves werent his moves they were done by the front office and I think power is being shifted.
The Jets are giving the Patriots everything they can handle, 7-3, We’re never going to hear the end of it, if they beat New England.
Few things in the football world would be better this weekend than a Patriots loss!
J E T S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
Could thet Jets really eliminate the Colts, Pats and Steelers in their own backyard in 3 consecutive weeks?
Every Eagle fan who has the nerve to criticize Vick needs to step back and look at Brady. Its amazing what EVERY qb looks like when they have PRESSURE. Brady doesnt look so invincible when he has pressure. Yet we criticize Vicks play behind that pathetic line he played behind. We have alot of friggin nerve.
My boy, Rex, has em playing so far.
I’ve been calling this one.
I have to admit that it was more desire than knowledge.
Anyone taking advice on Talent Evaluation from this fella Serest is the bigger fool..
They must be bringing in a DC from the outside and getting all the dirty work done now..
He’s been misplaced and was not been very succesful as “Special Teams” or “DL”
The Loyalty and same old, same old is officially out the window … GM Roseman (for Banner) are taking control whether Coach AR likes it or not..
I think it’s safe to assume that the new DC will not be Dick Jauron for if he was, then why wouldn’t they have annouced it yet… I think Jauron takes Browns DC position and Hires McDermott as Secondary Coach
Jets just made NE pay for a big gamble!
Yeah, I saw Brady miss some blitzes (hot reads). In fact, a couple of corner blitzes, just like the ones used on Vick.
I think Paulman been calling for this about a year ago Drummer
Segrest was another late replacement Coach for the Returned Peter jenkins whodecided to retire once JJ got sick and again the Eagles were caught flat-footed and just stuck Segrest into the Position Coach with out much preparation or experience in that area
If you look at some of the real errors made in the last 2 years from the personnel to the Coaching staff, it’s kind of alarming if you ask me… Is LB R Shuey and or OL Coach Juan Castillo next…
Gonna be one heckuva 2nd half tonight. I love seeing Brady struggle. It happens so seldom and doesn’t usually last and there’s alot of game left. I love watchin’ those cheatin’ SOBs lose. I can only hope the Jets take it.
I know they wont do it but isnt it criminal not to go to a 3-4. The Jets, Greenbay, Pittsburgh and Baltimores defense arent just a little better than everyones elses they are alot better than everyone elses. Why wouldnt you convert? Get the players and make the change. I f I was owner I would say hmmmm I want a defense like Pittsburgh or Baltimores. Bring me one of thoer coordinators. Why is it so hard?
I hope that power is being shifted away from Reid and that is he on the hot seat. The pressure Reid may face if he knows his job is in jeopardy will either make him or break him. As the man in charge, all of the weight of the failures of this team falls on his shoulders.
Man, I’ve been calling for the Jets to win. I couldn’t care less about Segrest. I want Andy gone.
philly – Hope your right but, I just don’t see Reid changing for anything. He’s absolutely the most stubborn coach I’ve ever followed since the mid 70’s.
I said two days ago that Rex would upset the Pats.
drummer – I’m right there with you but he’s not going anywhere this year.
As much as I hate the Giants, I loved watching them end a perfect season. I love Rex (and all Ryans). So, you know I would love to see him knock those clowns out of the playoffs. It might even shut up (at least for a while), Vinnie and Mimitaro.
drummer, I think the Steelers are cheering hard for the jets too.
Maybe
Who’s not going anywhere?
Reid’s not going anywhere
Shut me up? im no Patriots supporter? Im going for the Jets too..
You should know me by now man I support the smack talkers of course!
mimitaro – unless I’m mistaken, drummer was referring to the offensive philosophy….
Gotcha! I didn’t know if you were talking about Brady.
Please don’t let the Jets fall apart in the second half like the Ravens yesterday.
Mimitaro
You know you’re okay with me. We just disagree about the importance of running the ball, and everyone knows the Rex runs the ball.
beautiful stop by the jets!
mimitaro – dito what drummer wrote
They are balling, so far. I have to keep saying so far because Brady’s the best and he can still catch fire.
drummer – Bingo! Brady is the best. I hate his team and he’s turned into an arrogant ass but he is the best in the NFL today and maybe top 5 ever.
The Jets arent winning this game because of the run however. Both teams have run it equally and just as effective as each other. The only difference is an INT and a dumb 4th down gamble.
I’ll tell what . . . Ryan has made Tomlinson look good. San Diego’s got to be kicking themselves.
…and most importantly the Jets defense is playing great tonight. Whens the last time the Pats were held to 3 points in a half?
Mimitaro – the run is a piece of the whole offense and keeps the D knowing that either might come their way. They have to be ready for either or get burnt.
Jets D has played very well so far. Hopefully the Pats won’t find the key but their coach is a great game-day coach. I hate him but I have to be honest.
I see the Pats are running the ball to get back in the game.
Whew!
The Pats are only down by 11. No need for them to panic.
Oh, he’ll hear footsteps from now on!
Too bad they don’t have Vick back there.
Brady’s starting to get the Michael Vick treatment.
