Eagles RB LeSean McCoy To Be The Featured Back In 2010

Discussion in 'Philadelphia Eagles' started by BigBlueBruiser, Feb 23, 2010.

  1. Eagles head coach Andy Reid indicated at Tuesday's press conference that running back LeSean McCoy "will take the ball from here" following Brian Westbrook's release. McCoy will be the Eagles' feature back in 2010, with fullback Leonard Weaver chipping in. Free Agent's LaDainian Tomlinson and Chester Taylor have already been rumored to complement McCoy, and Thomas Jones could also be an option if he's released by the Jets.

  2. Westbrook V2 is next at the plate.

    I heard he bulked up to about 215+ pounds during the offseason. He should be ready to handle the full load without sacrificing much speed.

    He's gonna be good if he can keep his speed with that 215 pounds.

    Eagles do need a Vet RB as the number 2 guy to take some pressure off Shady McCoy. Luckily guys like Sproles, C. Taylor, L.Johnson

    This could be the change required for the eagles to actually start to run the ball. Maybe all these changes will create a new Era or younger players with different skills

    Ha ha! I wish!

    Maybe they can go back to the Westbrook/Staley/Buckhalter system where they actually ran the ball efficiently
