I got some rude emails in the last few weeks because of my criticism of Eagles guard Stacy Andrews. I was accused of not giving him a chance but I really gave him too many chances.
The Eagles gave him too many chances as well.
Through all the time he has been here, I haven’t seen him doing anything with any power. He’s got bird legs for an offensive guard and he always seemed to favor the leg that was operated on.
I have had my eye on Andrews for the last few games and been very disappointed by his performance.
He wasn’t even giving a good effort of taking on defensive tackles and battling him. The guy was cut blocking defensive tackles at the point of attack. You can’t do that.
The Eagles deciphered the same problem and proceded to make Andrews a healthy scratch.
The line operated better without Andrews in there getting his butt kicked.
I think Andrews is hurt and I don’t think he has any confidence in his knee. You can’t block good defensive tackles on injured bird legs.
He needs to get stronger in his lower body and he needs to get healthy. I don’t know whether Andrews can play or not I have been told that he was much better with the Bengals.
Hopefully he will be healthy when he gets the chance to play again, whether it’s later this season or next.
