Philadelphia Eagles expose the disgruntled Orlando Scandrick

Orlando Scandrick didn’t seem to be fond of Malcolm Jenkins on Friday. The story was different a few weeks ago, though.

Interesting times here in the Philadelphia Eagles team facility. Just a few weeks ago, the team had no choice but to welcome back veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick, for depth purposes due to injuries. Now, there’s a good chance that he may never join another roster again.

It appears that Scandrick felt quite bitter towards Philadelphia after they decided to cut him for the second time in the matter of a few months. Since the timing came after dealing with back to back bad losses, Scandrick is attempting to paint himself as the team’s scapegoat.

How did he do that exactly? Well, he decided to go on FS1’s Skip and Shannon: Undisputed on Friday to discuss what’s really going on in Philadelphia behind closed doors. In addition to calling himself the “scapegoat,” Scandrick also went on record to ring out Eagles’ safety and acting captain, Malcolm Jenkins.

Scandrick used the word “selfish” to describe Malcolm Jenkins. The former Eagles cornerback felt that Jenkins did not take accountability for mistakes during the Minnesota Vikings loss when fellow cornerback Rasul Douglas caught a lot of heat for two deep passes that went for touchdowns.

While that’s not one-hundred percent correct, Scandrick used it as his key argument to make it look like Jenkins isn’t the leader everybody thinks he is. So what did the Eagles social media team do? They did some digging. Through their research, they found a video of Scandrick actually praising Jenkins during that same week on the sidelines during the game.

Philly fires back

Scandrick must’ve forgotten that the team had Jenkins mic’d up for the Vikings matchup. Scandrick also must’ve forgotten that he said some extremely kind words to Jenkins in regards to his leadership and his veteran presence on the field.

“That’s exactly why you'[re] the captain of this defense bro,” Scandrick said to Jenkins as he approached him on the sidelines to shake his hands after a big play. “The way that you [expletive] conduct yourself, first snap to the last.”

Yikes. Not a great look for Scandrick after everything that he said. We will say; however, we do agree with Scandrick’s sentiment of “Where there’s smoke there’s fire,” when talking about the Eagles locker room — but he’s just not being one-hundred percent truthful about everything. Good thing the Eagles’ social media team exposed that.
