In not re-signing Brian Westbrook, the Eagles sent a precise message that they believe in McCoy as the feature back. After Sunday's performance in Westbrook's absence, LeSean is indeed "the real McCoy."
The Eagles' 2nd pick is making the biggest impact of them all thus far. The tough, little running back from Pitt is better than advertised and has now inadvertently made for confusion in the Eagle backfield. Or is it confusion?!
The Eagles, when star runner Westbrook returns will most likely go to a 2-headed monster attack, helping out the offense even more. This duo in the backfield will become a force to be reckoned with and become a nightmare for teams to defend along with a complex WildCat scheme.
With the exception of holding the ball a tad bit away from his body at times, the rookie runner is exactly what the Eagles hoped for and then some. He’s the replacement they’ve been searching for, and now with Westbrook hitting his ‘30s it all makes perfect sense.
LeSean McCoy will be a household name in Philadelphia for years to come. In a variety of ways McCoy, along with DeSean Jackson, Kevin Kolb, Jeremy Maclin, Stewart Bradley, and Trent Cole among others represent the “new” face of the Philadelphia Eagles.
