Eagles was the pick for some...Dallas was the pick for some. There were also lots of Rams and Saints picks. You just to look around.
Bottom line is that both teams are underachieving currently. When I first heard Pederson say what he did, I didn’t like it. But that feeling only lasted a split second. I like the fact that he has faith in his team and is showing a little fire. What he actually said vs the way it is being perceived by some is very different. He’s had the pulse of his team and they do rally behind him. It’s not false bravado.
That all said, it’s still a gutsy comment to make given the state of his secondary. I haven’t seen a worse back end of a defense in a very long time. They are so bad that if the Cowboys are still missing Cooper this Sunday, it may not matter.
