Philadelphia Eagles RUMORS: DeMarco Murray Will Play Against New York Jets

Asked what the biggest thing the Eagles, who are ranked 30th in rushing offense, need to fix offensively, Kelly said: “We need to run the ball better”.

The Fantasy schedule looks pretty light against running backs for the remainder of the Eagles season.

As far as one-on-one interactions go, Murray’s deathstare right through Bradford is wholly appropriate, given Bradford’s own poor play.

The Philadelphia Eagles can’t escape the jokes and memes about the rushing numbers of DeMarco Murray, which includes making fun of Chip Kelly and his general managing abilities.

Bradford has thrown four interceptions and two touchdowns in two games. The Eagles headed up there after practice Thursday in order to avoid traffic issues with the Pope’s visit to Philadelphia this weekend. This means running back Ryan Mathews will be the starter and he will be backed up by Darren Sproles. New York Jets match happens to be one of the games and, you can be sure there’s an opportunity here to not only watch a great game but to increase your bankroll if you’re planning to bet on it.

The Jets have one of the NFL’s best run defenses thanks to a strong defensive line, and their pass defense is much improved over last season.

Philadelphia has its own problems, Chip Kelly’s team is 0-2 and the offense looked abysmal against Dallas last week, scoring just 10 points and rushing for seven yards.

“We were a little inconsistent on Sunday”, Kelly said. I had a few mistakes outside of that, but other than that not a bad game.

Murray won the 2014 Offensive Player of the Year award before he left the Cowboys to come to Philadelphia on a five-year, $42 million deal this offseason. Maxwell claimed after the game that the reason he gave up the touchdown to Williams was because he was exhausted from being on the field for almost 41 1/2 minutes.

“I was embarrassed”, Kelly said. “I don’t see any issue with conditioning or anybody getting too exhausted”. Eric Decker has been ruled out because of a sprained ligament in his left knee. Agholor has been slow to start, but he remains a good sleeper option moving forward despite putting up just four catches for 36 yards in two games.

Thornton broke a bone in his right hand last Sunday against Dallas, though, so that streak is expected to end this week at the Jets.
