Ray Didinger: Eagles Made The Right Call In Releasing Josh Huff

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Ray Didinger, from WIP and CSN Philly, agreed with the Eagles decision to release  Wider Receiver Josh Huff following his arrest on weapons and gun charges, telling Chris Stigall on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT that cutting him was the right call.

Roseman: 'Huff Was Coming Along, But Have To Do What's Right'

"The team, first of all, they can do what they want to do because he's their employee. You may get some push back from the union, but probably not much. I think that, if I had been there, the way we would've handled was, right from the beginning, my inclination would have been, I think we have to part ways with Josh Huff."

He said they needed to do something to address the numerous arrests that have occurred over the course of this season.

"I think they did the right thing. I do. I think there's been a pattern with this team now over the course of the year that's been disturbing. I think they've been involved in, you can start back with the end of mini-camp, the Nelson Agholor thing at the strip club, Nigel Bradham now, twice, once down in Miami and then here at the airport with the gun and now this. At a certain point, I think you, as an organization, have to step forward as a united front, when I say that, I mean not just the coach, but I think the front office. You have to stand up and say this isn't what we stand for. This is what we believe in. This isn't what we represent."

Josh Huff Apologizes In Statement Following Release

However, Didinger does think the Eagles erred in how they handled to process of Huff's departure, with Head Coach Doug Pederson initially announcing that no immediate action would be taken.

"It should not have been Doug Pederson just walking out in front of the media the other day, by himself, thumping around and trying to put this in terms that he really wasn't, I don't think at that point, qualified to do. What they should have done was that [Team Owner Jeffrey Lurie and General Manager Howie Roseman] and Doug should have walked out there together and what they should have said was, listen, and Jeff should have stepped up to the microphone first as the owner of the team and said we understand that this is a really serious matter and, believe me, we're taking it very seriously."
