Philadelphia Eagles take to the ground with Miles Sanders The Eagles leave their committee backfield and hand the ball to Miles Sanders

AUGUST 18, 2020 • THEHUDDLE.COM

Being prepped for lead role Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday that the Eagles have told Sanders he's "the guy" this year, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Running backs coach Duce Staley made similar comments two weeks earlier, saying Sanders is elusive enough to handle large workloads without taking too many big hits. There's no doubt the second-year back will enter Week 1 in the lead role, but Pederson does have a history of preferring committee backfields... or at least he did until Sanders ran wild down the stretch last season. Granted, the big finish to 2019 was partially a product of Jordan Howard -- now in Miami -- missing time with a shoulder injury, and even then the Eagles worked Boston Scott into their offense over the final four weeks of the regular season and the playoffs. Apart from Scott, the candidates for backup work in training camp are fourth-year pro Corey Clement, 2019 UDFA Elijah Holyfield and undrafted rookies Michael Warren and Adrian Killins. Rumors of a veteran addition haven't come to fruition.

Impact There's been discussion about the Eagles signing Devonta Freeman or another veteran running back, but it hasn't happened so far. The team appears ready to open camp with only Boston Scott, Corey Clement and a trio of undrafted young players behind Sanders in the backfield. The second-round pick held up to large workloads toward the end of his rookie season, averaging 15.7 carries for 71.7 yards and 4.2 catches for 34.2 yards (plus four TDS) over a six-game stretch that included four outings with snap share above 80 percent. Coach Doug Pederson has typically preferred committee backfields, but his current roster hints at a greater degree of dependence on one running back, namely Sanders.
