Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson woke up Wednesday and caused a stir with a tweet as he listened to his former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon explained how the team lost Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Gannon, who is now the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, was at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday and was asked about what went wrong with the defense. Gannon said the team did not make the stops when it needed to but put the onus on himself for failing to make the right play-calls.

Gardner-Johnson had his own assessment.

"You ain’t put us in position to make plays," he wrote quote-tweeting 94 WIP Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks.
