Wagner: LeSean McCoy 'didn't want no part' of contact

We need to be physical with them from the first snap to the last on both sides of the ball.

It's clear the Seattle Seahawks weren't impressed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

After cornerback Richard Sherman told reporters that the Legion of Boom "never felt threatened" by a Chip Kelly passing attack stripped of DeSean Jackson, linebacker Bobby Wagner called out running back LeSean McCoy for shying away from contact.

"We really wanted to make sure he felt us every single time he got the ball," Wagner said this week, per KIRO-AM. "There was one play he fell back. It was me and him in the hole and he just fell down. He didn't want no part of the contact, so I think that probably got to him."

McCoy's paltry 50 yards off 17 carries came on a day when the Eagles piled up the fewest total yards in a game (139) during Kelly's heady reign in Philly.

That an interesting aritcle.

In essence, Wagner is saying McCoy did want part of contact.

Talke note Cowboys. Also red something to the affect that Sanchez was posing as a good QB.

 

[Alexander]

Supposedly he had some sort of personal tragedy in his life (cousin passed) and admitted he really was not into it, for what it is worth.

Thanks Wagner. Just hype him.up more for this game why don't you.

What's funny is if the Seahawks or any other team were saying this about the Boys after beating them, you'd hear many Cowboys fans going ballistic talking about how the other team out to shut their pie holes or how classless they are in victory.

Just the Seahawks doing what they do... hyping the hype.

We beat them, they beat the iggles, the iggles beat us... it's just the cycle of parity in today's NFC.

Let's be honest. That is pretty typical of fandom.

Who cares, this team should be hype enough after getting their manhood taken 2 weeks ago on national tv.

Too bad we could barely hit him last week.

We need to contain the edges

 

[Dave_in-NC]

If we play like last time, he doesn't have much to worry about.

We need to contain the edges

Exactly. I don't remember one run when McCoy took it up the middle. Every run play was left or right with the guard getting out on the LB to seal the edge. Dallas couldn't stop that all day. Even letting Sanchez option the DE out of his socks. I would hope they'd shore that crap up at least.

I would normally agree about the classless comments, but not when it's aimed toward the most classless team and fanbase in sports. Eagles deserve it and so do their fans.

Also, Lesean McCoy single-handedly tanked my fantasy season. That's what I get for drafting an Eagle.

I see what you did there...

No sympathy here. You deserve it for drafting an Eagle.

This logic has never applied to this team under Garrett.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I wonder what crap we would've heard if we had lost to Seattle. I'm glad we gave them nothing to chirp about. When you win you celebrate and move on. Don't dis the opponent, even if it is the stank Eagles.
