Andy Reid Job Quotations

I wouldn't take anything away from Andy, either. He's doing a nice job and that's the reason why he's still here. He's shown some things, too, as a receiver.

One of the things that's pretty obvious is you can't get down by four touchdowns against a good football team like we did Sunday. We have to start faster. We realize we haven't done a good job of that this year.

I have great respect for Dick Vermeil. He has watched over me and took care of me since I took the job here. They are coming off a tough loss to Denver and he will certainly have that team prepared.

I did have a visit with him and it went well. We mainly talked about football. He was anxious to get back out here and get himself going and playing and catching up on the things that he missed. But he did a good job today.

What we had to work through was he also was our nickel linebacker. So you?re looking at base personnel and nickel. Now, Mike came in and did a respectable job in there. We didn?t have to change much because of that.

He did a nice job for it being his first time getting a number of reps. There are some things he can continue to work on in the run game, getting to know how we do things up front. He ran hard, played hard and did some nice things that you probably wouldn't expect him to do after just playing two weeks here.

He did a nice job. We limited his reps, but he did a nice job when he was in there.

He's done a nice job with the young kids. They all look up to him, respect him. He's always done what he needs to do. He's a good example.

I said that before the season. I think they have done a nice job in improvement.

I think I could have called his number more. We are better when we spread the ball around; I think Donovan hit 11 guys. And we are better when that happens, because it has more of an effect on the offense. I didn?t do a good enough job in that first game of mixing it up.

We are better when we spread the ball around. We are more effective as an offense when we do that and I didn't do a good enough job during that first game mixing it up.

We're happy to keep someone of Tom's caliber in Philadelphia. Tom has done an excellent job and it was important for this organization to have him continue in this general manager role for the foreseeable future.

We didn't do a very good job against (the blitz).

Tom has done an excellent job with our player personnel department over the last four years and we're fortunate to be able to keep him for the next several seasons. He is one of the hardest-working people I have ever met and is one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL.

We used him a little bit more in protection last week. I could have done a better job play calling. I could have called his number a little bit more last week.

We can do a better job there. We will continue to look at that. We have to do a better job.

Everybody is a big part of that. We need to do a better job blocking and make sure we hit the holes. Everybody has a piece of that.

Offensively, I have to do a better job on my side of getting this thing a bit more balanced up with the run-pass ratio, ... I'll go back to the drawing board and work on that and see if we can't do a better job offensively.

That's hard on the players and it's hard on the coaches. Those are guys that are very well liked here and have done a great job for us.

I need to do a better job of putting my players in position to make plays on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, I saw some good things.

I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.

So everybody has a lot of confidence he can kick a football and he does a nice job in practice.

As we sit here today, I'm not feeling great about it, to be honest with you, ... Do I think it was the right thing to do? Yeah, when you're trying to win the football game, that's the right thing to do. Obviously, they covered it and did a good job with it.

I could have done a better job there. We take a lot of pride in playing good defense; the second half, we could have done a better job there. I probably could have put our quarterback in a better position the last part of the game, with some better protections, to help him out.

I did a better job on that. I need to get to that earlier.

He played corner in the Arena League and did a decent job there. So it's not like he has never played the position.
