Sproles really wasn't a short yardage guy either as far as banging away at a line

Sproles was excellent in short yardage.

Leonard’s wife is now following Slay’s wife on Twitter. Does it mean anything?

He wasn't a banger,he was a finesse RB

He was absolutely a guy that found the hole and didn't hesitate as a north/south runner.  Very strong runner.  

Another completely winnable game today. Probably the most winnable in this stretch.

Probably come down to turnovers again 

We used a spy - Bradberry? - on Mahomes last wk, have to do it again today

Diggs,Davis,and the new guy Shakir,who has been breaking off some chunk plays are the coverage issues,all 3 are capable. We will get our arse kicked if we tackle as badly as we did vs KC. Better the second 1/2 but the first was horrendous. Not real worried about their run game,we can snuff out most RB's,but I agree with 58 we should have a spy on Allen. Problem with that is their 3 WR's(as a unit) are better than KC's. Their TE is no Kelce,so he shouldn't be an issue

I suppose they put a spy on Hurts as well since those called QB runs are pretty easy to spot. I wouldn't miss them if they dropped that play(non play) altogether.I want to see RB's running routes out of the backfield. Both Swift and Gains can do alot of damage there. And not those sideline BS passes,I mean 4-5 yards in the middle. lets see some crossing routes for a change

Brandon Graham’s 189th game in an Eagles uniform today. Remembering back to how most fans bashed him and wanted to move on from him. It was far from an ideal start for his career. You could always see his ability however if you actually paid enough attention to the details…instead of just the stats.

North/ South runner is not finesse.

I saw it more as the fans preferring the All Pro safety.     Even some fans today seem to prefer having 4 safeties ahead of a good DL .

He's not a basher like Blount/Ajayi was,but let's keep arguing over nothing

LMAO. I have to agree…finesse. Sproles knew how to hit the holes and he didn't need hair around them.

Shaved is best

CJ Stroud is going to be SO good. He has Tank Dell and it's like the Manning.Harrison connection. Minshew also having a nice game. He has the Colts at .500. Wondering now if Taylor even wants a trade after this season 

Despite Kenny Pickets weird build and tiny hands he is winging it today

More good news,ATL is beating up on the Saints

What's a basher?  A dude wo can't avoid the defense so he has to rub into them?   Congrats.   I like the guy that gets the yardage when you need it. Sproles was excellent in short yardage.. they had a stat with his conversion rate...he was way higher than" the bashers"

You worry about style... I focus on getting the yards.  To each their own. 

Right now the Eagles need a 3rd RB...preferably one that you can rely on to get you the positive yards consistently.    " BASHER" guys that don't exist anymore...you can worry about the style... I don't care  the height and the weight and if they are too slow or stupid to avoid the defense.   I just want a reliable RB to get some carries so they can give Swift and Gainwell a breather and all stay fresh. 

Mac Jones sucks donkey balls,just horrendous

A North/ South runner

...see the hole and go run through it ASAP ...take the yardage that's there.  If you can make one cut to avoid the hit...that's not finesse.. that's the idea of football...the defense wants contact, the guy with the ball is supposed to avoid it.  Go forward....not sideways...and make a move however subtle to avoid the hit so you can fall forward.    

You see the hole....get through it, have the LB or DB have to go sideways and just get you down instead of lining you up and drilling you backwards....it's the easiest way to get a quick 5 o 6 yards.  I want that guy.

Not the guy who is slow either physically or mentally.. that misses the hole...gets hit at the line and then gets 2 yards after trying to bulldoze a DL.  Congrats for being basher and getting the tough 2 yards... I'll take my guy who takes the easy 6 yards on one move and can get up to play the next play.

ALL RB's are north south runners if those are the plays called

New "bashers"- Richardson,Robinson,I can't list them all.To say bashers are a thing of the past is foolish
