McCoy fires back at Chip Kelly, turns down hand shake
With LeSean McCoy and Chip Kelly, exactly what will happen at midfield Sunday is anyone’s guess after the Philadelphia Eagles coach shipped the running back to the Buffalo Bills last March.
“Listen, man, Chip can’t shake [expletive] at all. There’s nothing for us to talk about”, he said, via The Buffalo News. “I know him. He’s very intelligent”. I don’t have no hatred toward him. He knows that. He knows me, he knows how I am.
In an interview with 94WIP on Tuesday, McCoy was asked about the comments he made during the offseason when he accused Kelly of being racist.
Meanwhile, Kelly said running back DeMarco Murray – who was signed to replace McCoy – is unhappy with the low number of carries (eight) he got in an upset victory last weekend over the Patriots, but didn’t undercut anyone by speaking with team owner Jeffrey Lurie. And I talked to his agent after we traded him. I’m sure there are people you don’t hate or have an issue with that you don’t speak to. The fan base was quite familiar with him since they witnessed up close and personal when he broke the Dallas Cowboys single season rushing record held by the legendary Emmitt Smith.
“I’ve got to go man. I’ll see you on Sunday”.
Well, the feeling isn’t mutual. We’re going to have our hands full, and we look forward to the challenge. He can’t shake my hand. “Why do you want me to shake that guy’s hand?” There’s no reason for us to shake hands. I called him. He didn’t answer my phone call.
“You know what? I’m going to keep his conversation private”, McCoy said.
LeSean McCoy seemed to get pretty heated during a conference call when answering questions about Chip Kelly. There’s nothing for us to talk about.
Who will be the leading rusher in Sunday’s Eagles-Bills game?
Revis, wearing a jersey but no helmet, stretched and then sat in the rehabilitation area during the early portion of practice open to the media. Nothing at all. Everything I said, I stand by it. I don’t take it back. Beeped the horn while I was driving by the facility and went somewhere else! Why do you want me to shake that guy’s hand? Asked if it felt like the Eagles have a “second chance”, now that they’re tied at 5-7 with the Giants and Redskins, Jenkins said: “I think we’ve had about five second chances, to be honest…” The Bills have had problems getting personnel and defensive calls into games in a timely manner against teams that went to a no-huddle. Darby leads the National Football League in passes defensed with 19, and Matthews leads the Eagles with 61 receptions for 661 yards and 4 touchdowns.
The Eagles now give up the 2 most fantasy points to wide receivers and this gives Watkins the opportunity to be incredibly productive 3 games in a row.
