As Eagles face disaster, Doug Pederson wants more from himself and team leaders. Will it be enough? | Marcus Hayes

Nine games into his team's Super Bowl defense, Doug Pederson admitted Wednesday that he hasn't been up to snuff.

"I just know this: as an offense, I need to teach better. Bottom line," said Pederson, for whom teaching is the foundation of coaching.

Pederson said this just a couple of hours after his weekly meeting with the team's leadership committee, in which he asked the leaders about the locker room's psyche after the 27-20 upset by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, easily the worst loss in Pederson's three seasons.

"Talking to the committee this morning, I asked them … how do they feel," Pederson said.
