Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1901676, member: 204"] Actually, the "fans booing McNabb" was really nothing more than a radio stunt perpetrated by longtime WIP Sports Radio morning man, Angelo Cataldi. It was Angelo who insisted that the Birds draft Williams. He led a small contingency up to NYC to boo the pick. So, I don't think you can say that the Philadelphia fans booed Donovan - that' s not accurate. And it is not only a number of fans who feel that Chip was a failure - most of the local media, including knowledgeable/fair journalists such as Hall of Fame writer Ray Didinger, agree that Chip's approach was flawed. Much of the criticism that Didinger and others had was the impact Chip's tempo had on the Eagles defense. Just today, there was discussion over how the 2016 defense has been allowed to play far fewer snaps than the 2015 defense. The conventional wisdom here is that the Chip tempo really hurt the Eagles defense. [/QUOTE]
