I dunno. Andy nixed Lesean last year who he actually likes. After Bell's quasi whining on twitter about playing time, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a healthy scratch if CEH and Williams are both ready to roll. [Reply]

Reid wasn't happy with McCoy at the end of last year. McCoy kind of burnt that bridge. I suspect Bell has done something similar.
Andy doesn't respond well to guys complaining about their role on the team. That's Andy's job to determine. [Reply]

13 games for 803 yards. He got injured in week 15 but his stats were trending down even before that. That's a major concern going forward.
With Darrel’s emergence (esp now he’s catching passes) and Damien’s probable return next year, I could see CEH being 3rd string. [Reply]

Sproles never had better than 603 yards rushing in a season.
But I agree CEH appeared to slow down the back half of the season. [Reply]

Zero chance. Darrel is not taking the #2 spot over those guys. Goal line back maybe. Ceh as a rookie being asked to carry the vast majority of the load behind a makeshift o-line caused the downward trend. [Reply]

CEH had 1100 scrimmage yards in 13 games
Sproles never reached even 1000 scrimmage yards in a season until his 7th year in the NFL [Reply]

It'll help immensely to get the 1st string OL back next season [Reply]

Yep, and the run defense is great, even beyond Vea. Seriously, just enough to keep them honest. Reverse here and there too. [Reply]
