Andy Reid and Travis Kelce came out to respond and defend Eric Bieniemy against the harsh take from LeSean McCoy!
Andy Reid quotes on McCoy’s Bieniemy comments
“I think, sometimes, it’s hard on a veteran player. Maybe their performance level isn’t what it used to be. It’s hard to take sometimes. But Eric has got to push it and try to maximize what you’ve got. That’s one of his strengths. He’s no different than he is when he’s with you guys. He’s going to come in and shoot you straight. Sometimes you want to hear it, sometimes you don’t.”
Andy Reid
“I’m a big LeSean fan, in my eyes, he’s a future Hall of Fame running back. If you look at it statistically, he was tremendous. But he wasn’t the youngest pup in the kennel here, man. He was on the backside and sometimes that is hard to take.”
Andy Reid
“You’ve been here. You’ve seen how he does and the love that the players have for him. He’s got all of these guys standing up for him and saying positive things. That’s what it is. He’s a heck of a football coach. At this point, he hasn’t had a chance, but I’m optimistic that he’s going to have one in the future.”
Andy Reid
Travis Kelce quote on McCoy’s Bieniemy comments
“I think everyone has their own personal relationships in their journey throughout life, I know some people that have said bad things about others that I have absolutely adored. I think this would be that kind of situation. I don’t know what was said, if he said bad things about him. I know I have a great relationship with Eric. I have even butted heads with him, but at the same time I know what he is about. That guy is about working hard for the whole of the team and making sure that everybody is accountable. On top of that, he’s just a passionate guy. He’s a competitor, one of the best competitors that I have ever met because of how hard he works and how much attention to detail that he has.”
Travis Kelce
