Last week: 7 (-7)

Record: 3-3

Firing defensive coordinator Juan Castillo and replacing him with underrated defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, previously the secondary coach, will make a difference. Bowles coordinated the league’s #6 defense in Miami last year and was named interim Head Coach after Tony Sparano was fired. The biggest issue is still Michael Vick, however. I don’t expect him to be brought back next season, with the team opting to save money and go forward with Nick Foles as the starter.

It also wouldn’t surprise me if Reid benched Vick just for a game or two for Nick Foles. It wouldn’t be a permanent benching, but it would teach him a lesson. He used to do this with Donovan McNabb and it generally worked well. Like McNabb, Vick could use some humility. Vick was recently quoted as saying “I don’t have a fumbling problem. I don’t normally fumble the ball. Everything happens for a reason. If it was meant to be, I wouldn’t have fumbled on the goal line.” He’s taking absolutely no responsibility and blaming it on a higher power.
