There are quite a few coaches in the NFL who aren’t exactly media friendly. Sometimes they can get testy with reporters. Other times they just don’t have anything of substance to say. Andy Reid mastered this art with his “I need do a better job” line.
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson usually doesn’t fall into this category. He’s actually pretty honest — sometimes to a fault, perhaps.
But that wasn’t the case on Tuesday. Pederson went into full playoff mode for his first press conference ahead of the Eagles’ Divisional Round game against the Atlanta Falcons.
