Through the opening three weeks of the season, running the ball almost looked like a chore for the Eagles. Darren Sproles was the man of the moment in week one before Miles Sanders took over, filling just about every role while Jordan Howard sat on the sideline.
There was a complete lack of rushing identity as the Birds struggled to sustain drives and offensive balance. When you partner that with two fumbles from Miles Sanders and spurts of explosiveness from Howard that were then almost ignored by the coaching staff, it led to increased levels of frustration from all angles.
