On a side note, what is it with these Philly fans and their *quick* anger at their players when things just go ONLY a little bit wrong for a *short* period of time.
It's not just their constant bitterness toward McNabb, but their punter last year, Dirk Johnson, is another classic example...
In the reg season Saints game, he made a bad miscue(ended up punting the ball right at one of the closest Eagle blockers) that resulted in a cheap 7 pts for the Saints-ultimately, this costed them a bye week when all said said and done. Otherwise, the Eagles would have hosted the Saints in the NFCDG last year.
Anyhow, aside from this costly miscue, Johnson has been a VERY solid punter for this team(including last year). But it was b/c of this ONE bad play, that the Philly fans, and even their media, started hating his guts all of a sudden and wanted him run out of town. And on top of that, with him being the FG holder, he was also scape-goated for David Akers' lukewarm FG accuracy last year(even though they seemed to not notice their long-snapper was injured).
Anyhow-fast forward to this year-Reid cuts Johnson after preseason and makes some rookie(Rocca(sp)) their punter AND their FG holder...Result? Rocca has one of the WORST punting averages in the league, AND did Akers improve his FG accuracy from last year? NOPE! He was like 29th in the league(!).
Oh-and as for Dirk's blunder in that Saints game, people also seem to forget that Omar Gaither made a bigger one(being that 12th man on the field late in the game) that kept the Saints' game winning drive alive. Hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm................how did he REPLACE TROTTER this year?!?
Wow...either Reid is DUMB enough to listen to these idiot fans, or is even DUMBER than these fans.
