Andy Reid also said that McCoy is one of the very best in the game right now.
"Right now, he’s playing as well as any running back there is. That is a compliment to him and the guys blocking around him. The receivers had a couple of nice downfield blocks as well, so it was kind of a joint effort. LeSean is tough to bring down one-on-one. He has tremendous quickness and lateral mobility."
Cowboys LB Keith Brookings couldn’t help but be impressed as well.
"He is a very good runner and if you get out of position McCoy can expose you very quickly. He did that tonight. It is hard to tell but he is a great player and I think he won the battle tonight. He really made some great yardage on his own. He ran inside and outside and just really did it all tonight."

Considering his age
Shady might end up being the greatest Eagle RB of all time…
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." - Bear Bryant
Thats a fair assumption
Westbrook only had 6000 as an Eagle. At 23, Shady should end the season at about 3000 career yards. He already has more than half the amount of rushing td’s that Westbrook had and a 1/3 of the recieving yards. At this rate he’ll be well past Westbrook by the time he turns 26.
"Good game. Let's go eat."
With his skills and personality
He could easily become one of the “faces” of the league along w/ P Manning, Troy P and Rodgers, etc.
Jamie Dukes- First name is a girl’s, last name is a dog’s. That would make him Michael Vick’s BITCH.
i could def see that......
he has a lot of talent and is a good runner, quick feet as well. good kid, def loves him some coach on the crutches. shady loves the game ,and prepares himself well. good game by him.

Id say RIP Al Davis, but i know your up there drunker than a monkey and clocking angels in the 40 yd dash.
Still have to go with Peterson. Shady doesnt have the ability to just run people over at will. Peterson at this point is only slightly better than Shady and has proven to be a top 3 back in the league since his rookie year. Until Lesean does this again next year, it’s only fair to pick Peterson.

The debate is definitely there
But you gotta give it to AP. He’s a consistent horse. And has been doing it for a few years now.
But would I trade Shady for AP? For this offense, I don’t think I would.
Peterson, but it’s closer than i think most would have ever anticipated.

AP
But if I were picking one as they are right now assuming I’d have him for the remainder of his career, I’d take McCoy. AP is the better back, but not by enough for me to give up the extra years McCoy will have moving forward.

Shady don't fumble.
/knocks on wood. AP fumbles all day.
He hasn’t fumbled much yet, but the way he holds the ball still scares me.

ehh
Shady isnt reall holding High and tight when he’s runningn either, but to his credit he obviously tucks it when he feels the pressure of a defender
ok, the giants suck.
by BigBlueIntervention on Oct 4th
Namdey Asomgua sucks.We should have signed Antoneo Cromote so he could have taught his brother, cousin, son or however they are related how to play in teh slotz.I also h8 his nice guy act. I herd he blows through teh hoes faster than runningbacks thru our dfense.

If I have to win a game right now – AP
If it’s for the rest of the season – AP
If it’s for the rest of their career – McCoy
AP has a ton of mileage; with his playing style, I feel like he has about 2-3 more years before he cracks like LT did a few years ago. McCoy is younger and doesn’t take the same punishment, so I think he’ll be around maybe 5-6 years after Peterson has washed out.
I'll give you a cookie if you know what my pic is from.
Peterson is a better runner, but I’ll take Shady as the complete back.

That is a tough call......
Make no mistake, at this point AP has the consistency and the strength to be every down back with 30+ touches a game. McCoy is still working on that, but the transition from Rook, to Sophmore was stunning. 1000 yards on the ground and 500+receiving is nothing to sneeze at. His receiving is taking a hit this year, but that is a good thing. Coach Reid is trusting him with more carries and Vick is looking downfield more often. But for this offense, the west coast style, it has to be Shady. Need hands for a back in this offense, and while AP does not suck in that department, he’s better in a straight line, not making breaks out of a catch.
700+ yards through week 8. He could easily top 1500 this year. Does he make it though?

A guy afraid of losing his job probably would not be doing this so it’s probably safe to say he’ll be back next year.

there are still 9 games left man….

Yeah the Reid haters need to realize he’s going to be here whether we make the playoffs or not this year

Just so you know....
Reid haters does not = someone being criticized. People get criticized for their actions, just like they receive props for them. It has nothing to do with hate.

Didn’t he get fined $20,000 for that? I loved it though I wish more of our players would do stuff like that.

Congrats Eagles fans.
You destroyed us. I’m not happy, but McCoy is fun to watch.
What I saw last night was a lack of speed off the edges from the Cowboys defense. Not Ware, but the edge of the dline on McCoy’s rush plays. Also you trapped our OLB’s a lot freeing up a ton of space. Mudd and Reid did a great job preparing.

He may have had four sacks, but I only think one was truly deserved.
Eagles: 3-4, The run has begun! HAHA Cowboys!
Flyers: Good start
Phillies: Sigh
Well, the strip sack for sure. And I think another. Two were basically just tackling VIck on scramble type plays that were counted as a sack.

Just gotta say, I hate Brooking.
It is hard to tell but he is a great player and I think he won the battle tonight.
Yes, Brooking gave Shady some props, but look at that sentence. Is really that hard to tell, Keith? I think it is pretty easy to see just how great a player McCoy is myself. You think he won the battle, Keith? Do you need to get torched for 250 rushing yards before you are certain you lost that battle?

Glad im not the only one that thought that was a bullshit compliment

Dont mind my typos, trying to be sneaky at work like the rest of you
Honestly I don’t even know what that meant. Maybe you had to hear him live. I couldn’t tell whether that was meant as backhanded or just kind of mumbling…

McCoy had great blocking up front. I’m honestly proud of Kelce. He’s been playing very good.

Or he would have, if he hadn’t been waived earlier this week.

Signed today by the LOLskins
so he can finish up his NFC East autograph collecting.

OL
Thank Howard Mudd. He is the best there is. Looked like the Eagles OL has started buying into both of his blocking and protection scheme. good for Eagles.
Feel the same way about the defense
Obviously this was one of those “everything went right” games but the OL and the D — the big concerns not too long ago — played huge roles in us having 42:09 TOP and 34 points
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
Shady's ranks in the NFL so far
Rushing yards #2
Rushing Y/G #1
Rush YPA (at least 90 att) #1 (ironically #1 with at least 50 att is Vick)
Rush TDs #2
Rush TD/G #1
Total TDs tied for #1
Total TD/G #1
Total YPG #4
Imagine how much better he would be if only Andy knew how to run the ball!!

I had a bet with my boy who is Raider fan at the beginning of the year. We are in same fantasy league so the bet was who would have more fantasy points? McCoy or McFadden. I just sent my boy the info you just posted. Thank you sir!

Yeah I got shit from my boys for drafting Shady #3 overall, over Foster, ray rice, all QBs, etc

i took him with my first pick too
My mojo so dope. BITCH!

Revis has his Island, Nnamdi has his continent, Asante has his no fly zone, and Mr. Rogers has his neighborhood
I wonder if the Eagles are going to the run game because of Mudd and his “speed,” undersized lines are better built for run blocking—pretty much the inverse of how the Eagles have been the last 12 years. It will be interesting to see if Reid actually stays with it the rest of the year. We’ve seen the Eagles run a lot before and then abandon the strategy within a week.
Perhaps old man Mudd is rubbing off on the Coach. I say McCoy is the shiftiest back in league, you gotta use him.
Also imagine if the Eagles had a bye every other week. Oh man, I don’t know if anyone would beat them haha.
I would for sure take
Shady, This dude has it and yes AP is a greaat back but the way Shady does it. More of a show and like someone else already said AP will be done and gone by time McCoy is hitting full stride, His best years are to come and man watch out when they do.
here's a list of the best ENd this year.
1. 923 yards, 10TDs (AP)
2. 892 yards, 10TDs (Shady)
3. 1074 yards, 6TDs (Fred Jackson)
4. 862 yards, 7TDs (Rice)
5. 1092 yards, 3TDs (Forte)
6. 849 yards, 5TDs (Arian Foster)
7. 768 yards, 5TDs (RunDMC)
8. 746 yards, 5TDs (Gore)
9. 825 yards, 3TDs (MJD)

Come on Jason, get with it on this one. Jell as in Jell-o!
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
Shady is definately an elusive back, quick around the edges but I also think that this team is starting to get a little more aggressive. Lesean runs with authority and it often takes like 2+ guys to bring him down. You gotta love the way the Birds are responding after the national sports media decided to prematurely turn them into a joke.

LeSean McCoy's 185 yards rushing last night was the most yards the Cowboys have given up to a RB since 2000 and the most an Eagles RB has rushed for since Duce Staley ran for 201 yards in the famous pickle juice game against those same Cowboys.
So it’s no surprise that McCoy was the talk of the post game press conferences. First Michael Vick.
