PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles were known for rushing the ball last year. This year,China Jerseys, their run game is mediocre.
"That's in the past," McCoy said.
"Different season, different opponents, different team," Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said this week. "We are going to stick with it regardless of the score because we feel like we can run the ball, gain yards and score points doing it."
"We're certainly a team that's going to run the ball from the beginning of the game until the end," he said.
All despite having the NFL's leading rusher last year, LeSean McCoy.
McCoy struggled early in the year. Then,Cheap Jerseys From China, after a solid three-game stretch, he put up 19 yards against Carolina.
The Eagles' running game hasn't been as productive for several reasons.
McCoy gained 1,607 yards,China Jerseys, a franchise record last year. He has 729 after 10 games this year. He had 932 after 10 games last year.
"We see what teams do on tape,China Jerseys NFL," McCoy said. "Then we see them and they're doing things completely different against us."
"We had some situations where there were some holes blocked pretty well and then a guy would fall off late," Shurmur said. "The safety would come down and maybe make a play where we had five or a six-yard run, where at times we might get a little bit less."
McCoy, who has shown some frustration during the season, said Wednesday he doesn't care if some people don't see him as the same player as he was last year.
With the lack of a serious deep threat, defenses have been keeping a safety up more than they did a year ago. And more than they do against other opponents.
"That's for you to figure out. That's crazy," he said. "Am I the same player? Yeah, I'm the same player."
Different in that last year, all five starting linemen played all 16 games and a playoff game. This year, only left tackle Jason Peters has started all 10 games. |
