As sure as the seasons, comes a myriad columns about Andy Reid and his unwillingness to stick with the running game.  It's a fair point, and one most of us agree with, but, in today's Inquirer, Phil Sheridan takes it a step further: Let's bring back Brad Childress… NOW.  [Philly.com]

Do the Eagles really need another cook in the offensive kitchen, helping Reid and Mornhinweg prepare for Sunday's playoff game? Not really. Childress is very familiar with the Green Bay Packers, having faced them twice a year during his four-plus seasons as head coach of the Vikings. But then, his record against the Pack was 3-7.

No, the reason to bring Childress back now has nothing to do with game-planning or special insight into blocking Clay Matthews. His only role would be to don a Motorola headset and remind Reid and Mornhinweg to mix the occasional running play into the offense. Childress would be a voice of reason, cutting through the Fog of War.

 

I'm sorry, did the Eagles not just set the record for most points in franchise history?  Screw it, let's throw that out the window and panic.  Let's bring back a coach who was just fired for his ineptitude. Let's disrupt everything that gone right for the Eagles this year and bring back a guy to disturb things two days before the first playoff game.  Yes, this will work.

Clearly, Sheridan isn't 100% serious about bringing back Childress (is he?), he's just trying to remind us of the need to run the ball.  Thanks.
