1) LeSean McCoy totaled more carries than any running back in the NFL during the past two seasons. The Eagles might spread those carries out this year among multiple running backs, which was what Chip Kelly wanted after dealing McCoy. Even though DeMarco Murray led the NFL in rushing last season (and carried the ball more times than any player since 2006), Kelly has said since the spring that he does not want the Eagles to rely on one running back as much as they did during the past two seasons. So expect Ryan Mathews to also have a big role in the offense.
