eric woods was on sirius nfl the other day talking about this. i know you have to take it with a grain of salt when discussing something like this with the national media, but he claimed he, (and the team) were shocked by the move, but completely understood it. he said he had respect for mcd because he was willing to shake things up to win. i'm obviously paraphrasing, but this was the gist of it. it ended in disaster, but we can understand why the move was attempted. woods also specifically mentioned that fans don't see peterman play in practice like the other players/coaches do. maybe peterman is fantastic in practice?
