For anyone who paid attention to the Philadelphia Eagles this past season, you know their Achilles’ heel on offense was the rushing attack or lack thereof. When Jay Ajayi went down with a season-ending injury in Week 5, the Eagles were faced with a great dilemma of not having a stellar running back to lean on. Also, Darren Sproles and Corey Clement missed significant time due to injuries as well.
Thus, Philadelphia was forced to implement ‘running back by committee’ into their system with the likes of Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams.
