Eagles' McCoy not backing off criticism of Broncos' Moreno
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy says he meant what he said about Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno during Sunday's game between the Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys.
McCoy tweeted this on Sunday.
Knowshon sucks RT @RealSkipBayless: Peyton is doing what Peyton always does. But Knowshon is KILLING the Cowboys.

Moreno fired back.

McCoy went out of his way to open his Wednesday press conference with a compliment for Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin, who he will face this weekend.
“I just want to say, I think Doug Martin is a heck of a running back,” McCoy said. "He’s one of the better backs in the NFL for sure."
When asked about his Moreno tweet, McCoy stuck to his guns.
“I don’t want to talk about the past,” the Eagles running back told reporters. “It is what it is. But what I said is what I meant.”
McCoy was then asked if he regrets the tweet.
"No. I don't regret it," he said.
