Eagles cornerback Cary Williams apologized for causing a flap by complaining about the length of practices.
Sort of.
Williams said he should have kept the critiques of coach Chip Kelly’s methods in-house.
“I did that out of anger and frustration. I could have been better in that situation,” Williams said, via Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I spoke to the team today. I addressed each man in there. Told them that I was sorry for what I said and put them in a difficult situation. I told them it won’t happen again.
“I told them I won’t talk negatively about the team or where we’re going. We are 3-0. That’s something to be proud of. I am happy that we are 3-0 because things could have gone otherwise.”
At the same time, he didn’t exactly walk back his criticism, saying “I try not to lie. In that situation I don’t think I did.”
Kelly declared it a non-issue yesterday, and the facts in the case seem to bear him out.
As the league noted earlier today, the Eagles have scored 74 second half points this season, more than 21 teams have scored all season.
