Philly.com: Eagles HC Reid gave no indication Monday about how
long a leash QB Donovan Mcnabb might be on. Given the chance to
say that McNabb was the starter for the rest of the season, Reid
walked away from the podium. "I wouldn't look at it like I'm on a
short leash," McNabb said. "I think a lot of people can make a lot
of assumptions about what happened in the last game. I'm going to
go out and do what I'm supposed to do at the position and
everything will take care of itself." Asked whether his
relationship with Reid can be the same following the benching,
McNabb said, "I think it can… The relationship is where it was and
where it should be. In asking me that question, you would have to
ask Andy that same question." On whether he would be looking over
his shoulder, McNabb said, "Not at all." It was clear, though,
that turnovers are on McNabb's mind. Reid said Monday that the
turnover-prone QB of the past few weeks is not the real McNabb,
who at one point this season had the lowest interception % in NFL
history. McNabb has 5 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles in the last
2 games.
