Just because a player is asked a ridiculous question doesn't mean he has to answer.

And so it was Tuesday for rookie linebacker Casey Matthews.



The Eagles need to win two games and pray for two other favorable outcomes to get into the playoffs. Their longest winning streak - two games.

When Matthews was asked if the Eagles would be a dangerous team in the playoffs, he should have acknowledged how presumptuous the question was. After all, he's a rookie.

Instead he took it on and realizing how ridiculous it was, mentioned that at the end of his answer. Some film editor will cut that off and Matthews will come off as arrogant.
