Andy Reid met with reporters yesterday at the owners meetings and chatted with reckless abandon -- at least as close as that comes for the usually tight-lipped coach.The Eagles boss admitted that he "goofed" last season after deciding his young linebacking corps was good enough to run the complex Wide Nine scheme."We had young guys. I knew that going in," Reid told reporters in Florida. "That's my responsibility. I goofed on that one. I thought that the young guys on defense could get where they ended up getting by the end of the season sooner, particularly the middle of the defense, linebackers and safeties. I expected the offense to carry us through."Last week, the Eagles traded for Pro Bowl middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans, an instant Band-Aid. Reid has already compared Ryans' intangibles to those of famed Eagle Brian Dawkins. So naturally the coach expects to compete for a Super Bowl championship in 2012."Yes. That's what makes it exciting," Reid said. "I think we have a good group coming back. As long as we build on what we did [at the end of] last year, which I think is important in this case."
