Whom ever coaches The Eagles next year has a gold mine in hand. Hopefully it will be Bill Cowher so we can utilize the now existing talent. Brown and Shady in the same backfield????WOW All the starters back……WOW Jason Peters back. Even this current O Line is showin improvement.

Just shut Shady down for the rest of the year and let Brown handle the running.

Funny they have two real good backs (shadys outstanding) and no qb’s with a coach who refuses to run the ball.

Its easier to teach an amazingly talented RB how to hold on to the ball well than it is to teach a RB that holds on to the ball well to be amazingly talented. Keep this kid around… It will pay off

Trade Shady. Once Brown figures out “high and tight” he’ll be better than Shady. Shady dances too much. Brown explodes downhill.

Why would Roseman be around to trade him or anyone? He’s a large part of why the team is where it is, signing every recognizable name available.

No matter how fast or hard he runs, it means nothing if he can’t get to the goal line with the ball. Until he can stop the fumbling, he’ll never be regarded as an elite back.

Let the Skins fans have there moment, it’ll only last a week or so. You would think they won the Super Bowl winning on Thanksgiving..lol I actually think Brown is legit. This kid was poised to be the best back in the country collegiately, until Lane Kiffin left Tennessee. I think he has the potential to be just like the another great back who went unnoticed coming out of Tennessee, Arian Foster. He has great speed and vision. He simply needs to go to the Tiki Barber School of Ball Security. (Keep it high and tight).

Brown has great instincts and clearly has a lot of talent. He just needs to learn how to hold onto the ball. Ahman Green had fumbling problems early in his career too and was mostly able to get them under control.. I think Brown’s future will be very bright.

yes, he’s good, AND the fumbling can be fixed!!! With Good Coaching… have the eagles fired their RB coach yet? or has Juan Castillo been demoted/promoted to RB coach yet?!?

Anyone else find it interesting that with McCoy out that finally Andy Reid decides to go with the running game?

Brown is an impressive combination of size and speed and it seems that he also has very good vision in finding lanes to run through. There are some weaknesses namely ball security and the tendency to bounce runs out wide when it’s not there, but his talent is undeniable.

Can always teach and improve ball security – can’t teach the physical tools.

The only RB that matters in the NFC East is Alfred Morris.

try telling that to every other RB the Shan Man has had before….Morris will be forgotten about come week 2 of next season.

On to the next one!!!

If Andy were to come back next year, I would say trade Brown and acquire a draft pick or some help on defense; we don’t utilize Shady enough as it is. But considering Andy’s all but out the door, it would be nice to run a consistent 2-back system next year. With Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, Todd Herremans, and Shady coming back healthy next year (hopefully), things are in place to have a dominant run attack.

And as far as Brown’s fumbling goes: both Tiki Barber and Adrian Peterson had fumbling problems, but they were able to address it. This type of problem can be dealt with. And if it is, look out.

Call tiki barber, bryce, and figure out how to stop fumbling. He’s like a shaq or a dwight howard. Dominant in the middle of the game but you cannot have him on the court at the end of the game because they cannot hit free throws. Got to secure the ball. not an eagles thing. turnover machines. you have to blame coaching for that. you can break the bad habits if the coaches teach them right and then stay on their butts about it.

Sports reference has his total touches in college at 115…for his whole collegiate career. He hasn’t been hit at this kind of pace in a long time. I believe that alone could lead to some of his fumbling issues. If he’s willing to put the work in 1. to get his cardio up and 2. solve his fumbling issue he has a chance to be a really special back.

The GM needs to be looking at coaches willing to implement a running game that uses both of them liberally and creates opportunities to hit the speed they have out side over the top. I don’t believe the Eagles are bad talent wise…I think it’s scheme.

The fact that anyone can run for 357 yards with pass happy Reid as the coach is a boarder line miracle

brown might run great for yards, but he is a fumbling machine. until that stops, he is a more a liabilty than anything.

The Eagles are still overloaded with talent, yet always lose. Reid should’ve been dumped years ago. Go Jon Gruden!

Dude: This type of ‘logical’ thinking in d.c. has the country on the precipice of the financial cliff.

But your timing is off by a day. Wait until Alfred tears up the g-men in a meaningful game then declare him the next John Riggins. (or not)

brown can run great. but he us a fumbling machine. which makes him not that good. people open your eyes.

By: thefirstsmilergrogan

thefirstsmilergrogan — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:01:45 +0000

the only good thing about the emergence of brown is the possibility that a coach who will actually build and then employ a running game will agree to be the next coach. In turn, this may
allow the o-line to deliver some blows instead of always being on the receiving end. This will slow the pass rush, open the play action and allow the team some of the balance lacking during the reid administration.
