Ex-Eagle LeSean McCoy throws major shade at Giants QB Daniel Jones

LeSean McCoy, who spent years being hilariously trolled by Osi Umenyiora, threw major shade at New York Giants QB Daniel Jones this week.

Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has never been a fan of the New York Giants and throws shade in their direction every opportunity he gets.

That trend continued this week.

During an appearance on FS1’s Speak for Yourself, McCoy addressed the Saquon Barkley contract situation and in doing so, took aim at quarterback Daniel Jones, completely disparaging the 26-year-old.

“Who is Daniel Jones, though?” McCoy asked as the panel compared DJ to a house, saying he will appreciate over time. “Daniel Jones isn’t even a condo. He’s like a garage. You can rent a garage out.

“Are we really going to sit here and act like Daniel Jones is this superstar quarterback? You’re supposed to get better and better each year, right? I can’t even say he’s getting better each year. . . You will never see Daniel Jones on any commercials. When a defense comes to play the Giants, you really think they’re talking about Daniel Jones?”

Shady must have missed DJ’s Buffalo Wild Wings commercial, but we digress…

Earlier in his career, defenses didn’t focus heavily on Jones. And even during the first half of last season, much of the focus was on stopping running back Barkley, and rightfully so. But during the second half of last season that all changed and defenses did begin to focus much more heavily on DJ.

“Last year he unleashed. We all loved it. When he runs, it builds confidence. He’s legit fast. I started to see later in the season, teams were putting spies on Daniel Jones,” former Giants linebacker Jaylon Smith said recently.

McCoy obviously did little research before making his anti-Jones comments but he’s likely still sour from being trolled by Osi Umenyiora over the years.

Best Eagles player to wear every jersey number

From the 0 all the way to 99, here is the best Philadelphia #Eagles player to wear every jersey number.

Some of the best players in NFL history have worn a Philadelphia Eagles jersey at some point during their careers.

Our friends at Touchdown Wire recently took a look at the best players in NFL (and AFL) history to wear every jersey number.

That inspired the Eagles Wire to take take a look at Philadelphia’s history and track down the best player to wear each respective jersey number.

From jersey No. 1 to No. 99, here is the best Eagles player to wear every jersey number:

You have $15, build the best offensive unit in Eagles’ history

Can you build the greatest Philadelphia offense of all time? With a $15 budget, try to assemble the best QB, WR, RB, TE combination in Eagles history

[mm-video type=video id=01h3zm7nd4dpb3d9m4qt playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01h3zm7nd4dpb3d9m4qt/01h3zm7nd4dpb3d9m4qt-3ccfb89314c0e3a0a610f26d8149e942.jpg]

Philadelphia has had some all-time great offensive players, but what five players at multiple positions could give fans a dynamic unit on offense?

The Bird’s official Twitter account created a frenzy when they asked fans to build the ultimate roster.

The goal is to create the ultimate Eagles offensive unit with a $15 budget. Your team must consist of a quarterback, two wide receivers, a running back, and a tight end or fullback.

LeSean McCoy could be hinting he’s Shannon Sharpe’s Undisputed replacement

Hmmm!

We have nothing official to go off at the moment when it comes to who’s going to take over on Undisputed now that Shannon Sharpe is out.

But among the names being thrown around is that of LeSean McCoy. The former NFL running back is already a part of FS1, so it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch to get him to face off with Skip Bayless every day. A report from Front Office Sports indicated Shady was a contender for the spot.

Now? We’ve got a couple of tweets to examine from McCoy that might be telling us it’s happening.

There was this after Sharpe signed off:

And this one, responding to Bayless:

Hmmm!

LeSean McCoy gives some candid thoughts on Bills legend Jim Kelly (video)

Welp… we tried to look at both sides here…

Well now…

Former Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy might have put his stock with Bills Mafia in a little bit of jeopardy.

Hall of Famer and legendary Bills quarterback Jim Kelly recently dished some thoughts on the current state of the team. He said that current QB, Josh Allen, “can’t do it all himself.”

During a discussion on “Up & Adams” on Fan Duel TV, McCoy did the same. His thought initially began in a very interesting manner.

McCoy commented that Kelly “just likes to talk.” Fair enough, a lot of former players for teams that are beloved do talking.

Plus, Kelly was actually interviewed when he made his statement, so a reporter asked him a question, likely about the current team, leading to the statement.

Then “Shady” went a bit off the rails.

The topic McCoy was speaking on was based on the Bills offense, which is why Kelly was mentioned.

Instead of going back on topic, McCoy then decided to note how Kelly lost four Super Bowls with the Bills… ouch.

Playing devil’s advocate for both: McCoy has former teammates still on the team–not only that, McCoy played with running backs that previously started for the the Bills such as Devin Singletary and Frank Gore.

Maybe he was just trying to stand up for his guys a bit?

In the same light, Kelly naturally would respect the heck out of the work fellow Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas did when they were with the Bills. Thomas was his longtime running back and the two are still close friends which fans often see at Bills home game.

That’s probably what Kelly was leaning into.

Regardless, make your own decision. Here’s the clip you’ve come for:

Ranking the best 2nd-round picks in Eagles’ franchise history

We’re looking at the best 2nd round pick in Philadelphia Eagles franchise history ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The NFL draft is just two weeks away, and with Philadelphia set to have two first-round picks, GM Howie Roseman will look to add weapons to a retooled and battered defense.

In the second round, the Eagles will have pick No. 62 overall, and they can land a Pro Bowl-caliber player at that position, with Philadelphia finding past success in rounds two and beyond.

With the draft fast approaching, here’s an early ranking of Philadelphia’s best 2nd-round picks in franchise history.

Patrick Mahomes praises Eric Bieniemy after Commanders’ presser

Patrick Mahomes is a big believer in Eric Bieniemy and praises his impact on him.

Eric Bieniemy was officially introduced Thursday as the new offensive coordinator and assistant head coach for the Washington Commanders. Bieniemy answered every question, from why he chose Washington, his appreciation for Kansas City to potentially being a head coach.

After the press conference, Bieniemy met with different reporters, often answering many of the same questions. Bieniemy was consistent and confident in his answers.

One question Biieniemy was asked centered around LeSean McCoy’s comments about him as an offensive coordinator. McCoy, who played one season with the Chiefs in 2019, was critical of Bieniemy as an offensive coordinator and didn’t believe he’d succeed in Washington. Bieniemy took the high road, saying McCoy was entitled to his own opinion.

Several of Bieniemy’s former players defended him, making McCoy’s comments look like those of a bitter ex-player.

On Thursday, after Bieniemy’s presser, the most famous player who played for Bieniemy, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, came out in defense of his former coach.

We should now be able to put this notion to rest. After all, Bieniemy will have the chance this fall to show everyone his ability to lead an offense by himself.

 

Eric Bieniemy takes high road in response to former Chiefs RB LeSean McCoy’s comments

Eric Bieniemy on former #Chiefs RB LeSean McCoy’s comments: “Everybody is entitled to their own comments and how they feel.”

Eric Bieniemy has officially been introduced as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders.

Speaking with ESPN reporter John Keim after his introductory press conference, Bieniemy was asked about the recent provocative comments made by former Kansas City Chiefs RB LeSean McCoy. In 2019, McCoy played under Bieniemy. McCoy cited his experiences while making an argument for why Bieniemy will fail in Washington.

With a new job in front of him, Bieniemy took the high road in his response to those comments.

“LeSean McCoy is a future Hall of Fame runner,” Bieniemy said. “Everybody is entitled to their own comments and how they feel. When it’s all said and done with I think that’s all I have to say because he’s entitled to his own opinion. That’s life. You have good and you have bad. It does not impact me in any way because one thing that you learn when you’re this position, you have to learn to eliminate distractions, alright? My job is to focus on the now. Everything outside these walls has no impact on Eric Bieniemy moving forward.”

Right now, Bieniemy is focused on the task at hand. As much as Bieniemy likely hopes to prove McCoy wrong, his comments are nothing more than a distraction, and one that doesn’t glorify much of a response at that.

Former Chiefs running back defends Eric Bieniemy

Jamaal Charles doesn’t agree with LeSean McCoy at all.

It was a battle of former Kansas City Chiefs running backs on Tuesday.

On Monday, LeSean McCoy discussed the Washington Commanders’ hiring of former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as their new offensive coordinator. In short, McCoy doesn’t have high hopes for Bieniemy in Washington, believing most of his success in Kansas City was due to Andy Reid.

On Tuesday morning, former Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles responded to McCoy’s tweet and video from Monday, discussing Bieniemy. Let’s just say Charles sees things differently.

McCoy only played one season for Bieniemy in 2019. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl that year — Bieniemy’s second as offensive coordinator. Charles played 10 NFL seasons, nine with the Chiefs. Charles was in Kansas City for four seasons with Bieniemy as his running backs coach from 2013-16.

These are different perspective from different times. Both offer valuable insight into Bieniemy but Charles, along with Adrian Peterson, have vouched hard for Bieniemy.

LeSean McCoy doesn’t believe in Eric Bieniemy

McCoy had a lot to say about Eric Bieniemy. He wants him to succeed but has his doubts.

LeSean McCoy enjoyed a 12-year NFL career that ended after the 2020 season. McCoy is best known to Washington fans for his six seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, but also played for the Bills, Chiefs and Buccaneers. McCoy won Super Bowls in each of his final two NFL seasons with the Chiefs and Bucs.

Now, McCoy is an analyst for “Speak” on FS1, offering his insight into many NFL topics.

One such topic is new Washington Commanders offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy. McCoy played for the Chiefs in 2019, Bieniemy’s second season as offensive coordinator in Kansas City, and he isn’t a fan.

What’s his value?” McCoy asked about Bieniemy. “What makes him a good offensive coordinator?”

“See, the problem is, a lot of these people that go on social media, ‘oh, he should be the guy for the job.’ They haven’t played there. They’re not in the locker room. I’ve been in the rooms where he’s coaching. He has nothing to do with the pass game, at all. When the plays are designed, that’s Andy Reid. When you talk about offensive coordinators, I could tell you what makes [Giants coach] Brian Daboll a very, very good coordinator. I could tell you what Andy Reid or Doug Pederson [is]. But when I ask about Eric Bieniemy, what makes him good?”

There was plenty more in the clip of why McCoy doesn’t believe Bieniemy will be a good offensive coordinator for the Commanders. McCoy sees going from the Chiefs with Reid and Patrick Mahomes to the Commanders, where he has to call the plays, install the offense and run the meetings, as a massive jump.

McCoy then explains what makes Reid so great. He spoke of his adaptability to what other teams do but also to his players. He used an example of his first practice where Bieniemy was “dog-cussing” the players, including star tight end Travis Kelce.

McCoy says he wants Bieniemy to do well as he’s a black coach and a former running backs coach. But only that he’s being honest in his experience. Then, co-host Emmanuel Acho asked McCoy if his not receiving head-coaching opportunities had anything to do with race.

“Absolutely not,” McCoy said.

You can argue with McCoy’s perspective, but as a former NFL veteran, his opinion carries weight. There will be some who agree and others who will disagree. Bieniemy now has the chance to show everyone in his new surroundings just how deserving he is of a chance to run his own team.
