They say patience is a virtue. I understand there’s a lot of football left, granted its only week 2. The first two weeks have been tough to watch for Eagles fans because there’s no clear indication as to why they’re starting slow, but what if there is?
Let’s backtrack a bit. Back in 2017, the Eagles lost a tough game against the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 27-20. In that matchup, the Eagles ran the 17 times. Their rushing leader? Carson Wentz. Their starting running back? LeGarrette Blount. An interesting note about this game was that Blount didn’t have a single rush all game long.
