I'm not a Garrett supporter, and I think we need more nasty players. But those complaining about RKG characters, would you rather what chip is fostering. Here are comments/actions taken by eagles players this year and mostly this week.
1) Riley Coopers racist remarks in the beginning of the year
2) Lesean Kamel McCoy wearing a champions belt. Who does that? You won the rushing title be a pro and get ready for the playoffs
3) Carey Williams and Jason Peters both said the Saints got lucky and aren't the better team. Who does that? Did you hear GB or KC say that after their losses?
4) Trent Cole saying the rookie LT has a fresh new car smell and that he's going to make his life hell. I didn't see Cole make any game changing plays
5) Desean Jackson asking for yet ANOTHER new contract today.
Here's my thing, most of these guys were on this team when Andy was around and aside from Desean this was a relatively quiet team off the field. I don't support Garrett as a head coach, but at least he isn't fostering this arrogant can't back it up environment.
1) cooper was on the team prior to Chip Kelly arrival - his comments were completely outside of football - that is a personal issue and he's just not that bright.
2) McCoy won the title so who cares if he has some fun with the belt. But its also funny to listen to him when he is shut down. He's kind of a babyish pouty person at times - not really a tough guy at all to me.
3) LOL at Williams and Peters as sore losers.
4) Trent made bold statements prior to the game and then got owned - talk about embarrassment.
5) MEsean Jackson wanting a new contract - just par for the course for him, he would be doing that on just about any team - except maybe the patriots were they would be laughing as they walked him out the door and found his replacement without missing a beat.
All in all, i dont think any of this has anything to do with chip kelly other than he's a players coach and lets the players be themselves so your just hearing more things come out that have always been there. Reid was always big about not giving anything to the media and i think most of his players followed suit. Chip likes talking to the media and he says whats on his mind even if its not popular - like his comments about not caring at all about time of possession. And under him i think the players are also just letting their true colors show. But i dont think its anything he is fostering - those players are just speaking their minds.
