Eagles questions effort of teammate
The Philadelphia Eagles were embarrassed at home on Sunday,Archie Manning Jersey losing 45-17 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping them to 4-6. Though the good news is playing in the NFC East means Philly still isn't out of the division race (the 5-5 New York Giants are currently in first place), that might be the only good news for the team right now. The Eagles' performance in recent weeks – they were up 16-3 at home against the Miami Dolphins after the first quarter but lost 20-19, and gave up 235 rushing yards to Tampa Bay's Doug Martin while rookie QB Jameis But some playershttp://www.saintsofficialonlineshop.com/SUPER-BOWL-AUSTIN-JOHNSON-JERSEY aren't thrilled with what they're seeing either. Philadelphia Inquirer beat writer Jeff McLane has one Eagle questioning the effort of high-priced running back DeMarco Murray, signed in free agency earlier this year. "Well, when you see DeMarco sliding before getting hit, you tell me. Was that giving full effort?" said an Eagleshttp://www.saintsofficialonlineshop.com/SUPER-BOWL-BEN-GRUBBS-JERSEYplayer who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "You see that [stuff], and it makes you wonder." Murray did not talk to media after Sunday's game. The play in question wasn't on Sunday against the Bucs, but a week earlier against the Dolphins, when Murray gave himself up on a third-and-1 instead of absorbing a hit: It was one of the final plays of the first quarter, a successful frame that saw the Eagles score two offensive touchdowns, with the defense adding a safety after a forcedPaul Dawson Jersey fumble to take a 16-3 lead. But they would score only a field goal the rest of the way as Miami fought its way back. It's difficult to say for certain that Murray, despite the evidence on that play, is shirking from contact. And it isn't certain that the Eagles are starting to bail on the season and possibly Kelly because of all the mistakes over the last two weeks. But when onehttp://www.officialbengalsnflshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_PAUL_DAWSON_JERSEY.html player questions another player's effort, it does suggest something larger about the institution. Kelly dismissed a question that wondered whether his players still believed in his plan after putting forth such a performance against a rebuilding Bucs team. As far as fans' frustration goes, within that Inquirer story, there is a poll asking if head coach Chip Kelly's job is "safe" - with over 9,200 votes, 82 percent are responding no.
