A possible huge oversight and mistake by Front Office,,CJ Anderson

The 2018 Eagles suffered dearly with a middle of the pack ragtag running game for all of the season and perhaps the Eagles front office and coaches made a huge mistake by overseeing the posibilities that adding a back like CJ Anderson could have lessened the load on the backs which were utilized,

Along with many other fans none of us knew what the coaches thought they had with the group they had and it showed on a weekly basis when there was never a clear cut number one back,

It would seem that the staff believed Josh Adams was a hidden gem and they began to use him and he appeared to be having success until it all vanished and we seen only small chunks from him in play time which may indicate the coaching staff did not see something in him that they were looking for,

CJ Anderson waa available for a good 10 or more days if my memory serves well and many of us fans were screaming for our coaches and front end to pick him up,

As it turned out we got surprised with Golden Tate and the Rams beat the fuck out of the Cowboys on the ground with CJ Anderson and Todd Gurley gashing that defense for over 125 yards each and TDs 2 for CJ and 1 for Todd,

I am not saying those results would have been the same if CJ were an Eagle but I do believe our Oline is much better then the Rams and if we had the services of Anderson I am not sure if we do not make it all the way to the Superbowl this year as one cannot argue that had he been an Eagle the past playoff game against the Saints Im sure the Eagles would have won that game as the way it turned out was clearly due to lack of run game and Saints not even remotely worried about the run game,

Small details or large details in this case go a long way and although our coaching staff and front office may have had other thoughts and plans,I clearly see this as a huge oversight and possibly a huge mistake on the part of the Eagles staff as even last year Anderson was ripping up the opposing defenses and all it would have taken was for somebody to take notice,

Its too late now but there will ALWAYS be those WHAT IFS!!!
