McLane: Will Pederson's approach to Agholor's struggles work?

If Nelson Agholor hadn't admitted after the Seahawks game that he had succumbed to pressure, would Doug Pederson have put the Eagles wide receiver on notice?

The errors Agholor made were egregious enough to suggest that he should be benched, or at least have his playing time reduced. But what his confessional news conference essentially did was allow for "Love 'Em Up" Pederson to cite the receiver's fragile state of mind rather than his lack of production as the primary reason for potentially having him take a step back.

Agholor, who spoke on Friday for the first time since the Seattle loss, seemed to buy it.
