The Dolphins star came to the defense of his former OC.
LeSean McCoy raised eyebrows with his bold Eric Bieniemy prediction after the former Chiefs offensive coordinator agreed to join the Commanders, saying that he believes Bieniemy will struggle with a new team and doesn’t deserve credit for Kansas City’s passing game. The comments from McCoy prompted Dolphins star Tyreek Hill to chime in with his own two cents, and he took a shot at “Shady” in the process.
Hill, who played under Bieniemy in Kansas City from 2016 to ’21, trolled McCoy over his comments about the offensive coordinator. Hill seems to think the former running back is still salty after his own poor performance with the Chiefs.
“Shady mad Eb told him tuck that ball,” Hill said via Twitter, along with a laughing emoji.
He wasn’t the only one to disagree with McCoy’s assessment of the Commanders’ recent hire, echoing sentiments from Jamaal Charles, who was also critical of what McCoy had to say.
McCoy was with the Chiefs in 2019, featuring in 13 games during the regular season. He had some fumbling issues in Kansas City, coughing up the ball three times. Despite making nine starts during the regular season, McCoy ultimately found himself out of the backfield mix during the team’s Super Bowl run.
Hill seems to think that may have something to do with the running back’s opinion of Bieniemy, indicating the beef is more personal than anything else.
The Dolphins wideout was among a handful of players to come to the defense of Bieniemy, and Hill didn’t hesitate to suggest that the former Chiefs OC may have given McCoy an earful over his fumbling woes during his short-lived stint in Kansas City.
