Eagles’ Herremans may have a future in standup comedy

November 19th, 2009 by Eric Schwartz

Eagles’ Herremans may have a future in standup comedy thumbnail

Todd Herremans is either a really good joke-teller or a really bad liar.

The sixth-year offensive tackle came on 97.5 this afternoon to talk with Michael Bradley and Dan Schwartzman about the Eagles recent struggles and the team’s approach moving forward. He said that the team’s primary focus is to establish a commitment to the run game.



Sorry, had to pick myself off the floor from laughing too hard. Who does Herremans think he is fooling with these comments? In the decade of Andy Reid the Eagles have never fully committed to the run game and I would bet my last dollar that it won’t start now.

Sure Reid will tease the fans by letting his backs touch the ball over 20 times every now and then, but after a week or two he gets bored with it, so it’s back to the full-time passing game.

Listen, it would be great to see the Eagles become a more aggressive, running team. Fans have been begging — pleading  — for it to happen.

But it never does. And it won’t. It is just not Andy’s style.

Sorry Todd, you haven’t fooled anyone. Now go back to working on how to get your running back in the end zone on 1st-and-goal on the one and stop trying to get the fans hopes up.

    The only thing running around the Linc is the fans, for the exits. This team is performing so far below expectations, the wildcat is a joke, the running game doesnt exist and we all lament the passing of Jim Johnson and the stability he at least provided on defense. Shut up and play football !!

    Todd is just repeating what Runyan used to say on Daily News Live every week. He’s right, but I agree with you, its not Andy’s style. Another reason why I don’t think he should be back after this year.
