Posted October 19, 20204 yr He's a dynamic playmaker for sure but he's soft and just can't stay healthy. This goes back to his rookie year and has carried on to this season as well. I wouldn't count on him as our future lead RB. Time's yours.

Scott has been a nice change of pace back, the Sproles 2.0 type but he should be the 3rd back. You really need a 1-2 punch in the NFL, and a quality backup for injuries.
October 19, 20204 yr If you want a RB that can run full pace into the back of your lineman's legs for a 3 yard gain then Clement is your man.
October 19, 20204 yr I don't feel like we can say this or that about Miles. This whole damn team has been mixing water from Flint into their smoothies or something, it's absurd. We changed our medical staff in the offseason, does this include strength & conditioning? If not then it needs to be done, if we changed them also then we need to look at the coaching staff and if we're training these guys right. I know we don't employ tackling often at trainings, has this made them soft and disassociated them to full contact at game times? I dunno but something has to change.

Don't get me wrong, I like Scott but he is not Darren Sproles caliber, not that I have seen. Clement .....not even going to comment....

We haven't had a commitment to the running game like that since '17. Ironically if you look at Indy i see more of the '17 team in them than i do our own squad. People made comments that Reich was a big loss but i think we're only starting to see this now.
October 20, 20204 yr The only soft RB who I can ever remember wearing and eagles uniform came from Dallas to destroy this team. Please don't call Sanders soft, it's just wrong. You are an internet message board nobody, and have no idea what he plays through. Calling him soft is just some crazy guessing.

I meant soft as in his durability. I'm not questioning the kid's heart.

He’s a great talent when he plays but he also seems Likely to miss games in his career with nagging soft tissue injuries so you need a good backup. Kind of why i wanted the eagles to sign Freeman all offseason. I tend to believe the eagles also wanted to after sanders missed week one With what happened with Scott and clement but then barkley got hurt and it screwed them
October 20, 20204 yr What players these days are not likely to miss games? I agree it's important to have depth. I haven't written off Clement and Scott yet, though, like so many here. As of right now, I think what we saw in the Washington game (that Sanders missed) was not an accurate indicator of what we have. The balance offensively was pitiful and the blocking was awful. I think that as long as we stay committed to running (somewhat balanced run/pass ratio) a rotation of Scott and Clement can produce.
October 20, 20204 yr You know that Miles Sanders played every game last year, right? 1. That’s rare for a RB 2. That’s extremely rare for this team 3. He was hurt at the end of the season and still played.
