Eagles Preseason Preview: 3 personnel and scheme things to watch against the Patriots

I’M ABOUT TO BATHE IN SOME SALTY BOSTONIAN TEARS OHHHHHHHH GOODNESS YES.

1) Pass protection reps for RBs

So Donnel Pumphrey got injured.

Coming into the fourth preseason game, Pumphrey was the clear leader among the candidates vying for RB4. Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams both had their good reps, Matt Jones...walks around and stuff, but Pumphrey represented the most recent investment, and one with the highest draft capital. On top of that, Pumphrey put forth the best practice reps, without question, of the group: he showed nice hands, good vision, and great agility throughout camp.
