irish Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 The Eagles are planning to feature Adams as their starting tailback in Sunday's game against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rapoport notes that Smallwood and Clement will still have roles in the game plan, but won't be used as prominently, while Adams fills a "bell cow" role similar to how Jay Ajayi was used for Philadelphia in the second half of last season. With Gurley on a bye week for me, i'm plugging Adams in, over guys like Jeffrey, Crowell, and DJ Moore, hoping for the "bell cow" usage.

Dcat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Good plan. Although moore and Jeffery could have higher ceilings, their floors are way lower. Crowell is either a homerun or a strike out. This Jets fan doesn't trust him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ajayi never had more than 15 carries for the Eagles. Pederson hasn't believed in having a bell cow. Although, the Eagles are desperate so maybe Pederson will change his philosophy if Adams has a hot hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly was not using this as an advice thread, simply stating that with this breaking news, I was starting Adams over the guys I mentioned. And no doubt Dcat, I can absolutely see both Jeffrey and Moore outscoring Adams. However, i'm hoping that the Eagles lump the Giants and ride Adams to a 14+ point victory 31-17 or so.

I'll take 18-20 carries with 3-4 receptions for 100+ total yards and a TD. Would be thrilled! ETA- And that's one of the best SNL skits ever, along with Schweaty Balls and Dick in a box.

I don't think anybody's ever gotten 18+ carries in Dougy P's offense but I'd love to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As would I! Now that i'm starting Adams, Clement will score twice, 1 receiving/1 rushing, and Adams will have 40 total yards. LoL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 3 weeks, Eagle RBs altogether had 21,14 and 10 carries with Adams leading the way with nothing more than 9. Of course they were getting wrecked by the Saints last week. So him getting 18 would be a huge surprise. However, if they can get up on the Giants, just maybe... We'll see...

It scares me that the Eagles have been practicing WR's at CB all week. They are beat up in the secondary. It may be a shootout. If so Dougy P will forget they even have RB's by halftime.

That is my fear as well and having Jeffrey on the bench with a big game, while Adams is eating popcorn watching him do so, along with me, would suck.
