After Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson answered questions about Brett Favre’s Carson Wentz vs. Nick Foles comments on Wednesday, only a single question remained.
Could Pederson have handled that any worse?
The answer is no. When presented with a chance to defend his quarterback against an outsider’s criticism, Pederson punted until he was forced to answer, and then he gave a weak, milquetoast defense of the Eagles’ franchise quarterback.
Not exactly encouraging as the 3-4-1 Eagles gear up for the most difficult part of their schedule, with their success dependent on whether Wentz can overcome his struggles.
