Bednarik60 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I still think could carry Pump as a utility player RB/WR/KR and keep Blount ,Sproles, Smallwood, Clement all under running back. And just choose to not carry a extra bum WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 with the way the preseason is going Clement might be our starter lol Blount has looked like trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky_b27 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 RB is one of the positions we can get away with 'scraps'. In the end, its more about blocking up front when it comes to running the ball. An all star RB is where it makes the difference, but they aren't easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Roob: Quote Blount's lack of production really puts the spotlight on just how unsettled this running back situation is. Wendell Smallwood has been hurt and has yet to play in the preseason, Donnel Pumphrey has yet to show any signs of the player he was in college (but is a roster lock), Darren Sproles is still explosive but is 34 now and is going to be on a pitch count, and that leaves Corey Clement, the undrafted rookie, who has looked pretty good so far. Clement, who grew up across the river in Glassboro, New Jersey, had a 24-yard run and then a tough six-yard TD run through traffic in the second quarter but still needs to be more consistent running, blocking and catching the ball. I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles add a back at some point, although I'm not sure an upgrade would be available. Right now, Clement is ahead of Smallwood, but those undrafted rookies have to do more than draft picks to stick around. I know one thing. It's not easy to watch the Eagles' scuffling in the running game and then see No. 25 on the other sideline. LeSean McCoy ran four times for 21 yards Thursday night against his former team and had an 11-yard catch. Chip Kelly did a lot of destructive things during his brief term as general manager, but I don't think any of us will ever understand that one.

EaglesPeteC Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Clement is from Glassboro? As Rowan alumnus, I am seriously rooting for him to make the team now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Clement is meh. I'm not sure why Eagles fans are hyping the guy up. People keep talking about how Smallwood can't stay healthy. Last time I remember Smallwood stayed healthy in college and Clement didn't. We saw Smallwood miss time last year and now with a hamstring and he's suddenly injury prone. Preseason reactions are so ridiculous. At least for backs like Henry Josey the hype was understandable, because he was tearing it up in preseason. That isn't even the case with Clement. I'm not trying to say Corey is bad or he doesn't deserve a shot to make the roster or practice squad, but the hype he's getting from Eagles fans saying he should probably be our starter and should definitely beat out Smallwood or Pumphrey is just extremely puzzling.
