Freddie Mitchell turned one catch into a platform to rail against the man who threw it to him -- Donovan McNabb. Now, five years after he was last seen on an NFL roster, Mitchell is using McNabb's recent struggles as a chance to reprise those criticisms.Specifically, Mitchell says that in Super Bowl XXXIX, Andy Reid should have done what Mike Shanahan did last weekend -- bench McNabb.
"I respect both Coach Reid and Coach Shanahan -- they have two total different coaching theories," he said. "I can only wonder what would have happened in the Super Bowl if Reid stepped up and said, 'You know what? You're playing like s**t, you're benched.' I don't know many coaches that have the balls to do that. He was playing like s**t and he should have been benched. ... And don't say he doesn't have a record of this; he did the same thing in every single championship game."
