08:04 AM ET 10.17 | Well, this experiment, now over, won't look very good on Andy Reid's resume. Guess who else thought [Reid] had lost his marbles last year when he came up with the bright idea to promote Juan Castillo to defensive coordinator? That's right. None other than Reid's boss, Jeff Lurie. Lurie was asked Tuesday whether he had reservations about making a longtime offensive-line coach who never had coached defense in the NFL the defensive chief 20 months ago. "Yes I did," Lurie said. "But I let Andy make that call. I respected his decision. He felt it was the best thing to do at the time, and I don't interfere in that area." ... "The way I operate, a coach is responsible for his staff. [He needs to] succeed or fail based on who he chooses."

"The way I operate, a coach is responsible for his staff. ([He needs to) succeed or fail based on who he chooses."
I'd have to agree with that philosophy. But that brings us to the next question. WTF was Fat Andy thinking?

When they bench Vick, it's REALLY going to get good.

And as we see, Lurie did the classic 20/20 hindsight CYA statement. As for Reid " I take full responsibility" What a joke. No, you just had your DC take that.

The problem has not been their defense anyways. They are pretty good. Sometimes very good. They have scored the FEWEST points of any team in the entire NFL that has played six games. The Browns have score 31 more points than they have. Jeesh!

I think if he comes out bad (whoever they play) this weekend, Andy may pull him by half time.

If the offensive line can't protect for a mobile Vick, imagine a glass house clip holder back there.

I think he's spent most of that money paying back the debts of his bankrupcy.
