Corey Clement’s plea to Howie Roseman reminiscent of a former Phillie great

Corey Clement realizes something that it would benefit the meeker of us to remember — if you want something, you gotta shoot your shot.

Prior to the Eagles’ ultra-satisfying 34-13 win over the New York Giants Thursday night, running back Corey Clement apparently wanted to let general manager Howie Roseman something about his rumored pursuit of a running back.

Corey Clement says he told Howie Roseman before the game that he didn’t need to add a runner. Roseman challenged him to prove it.

With Jay Ajayi out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL and veteran Darren Sproles having missed the last five games with a balky hamstring, it’s understandable why the Eagles have been connected to top running backs Le’Veon Bell, David Johnson and LeSean McCoy.
