Use Leonard Weaver more!

8 carries, 75 yards that included a 41 yd run TD against the Giants defense.

We should take advantage of Leonard being here to the fullest. Big body, that can run like a RB. The guy can be very useful... especially in the Red Zone. But our backfield is pretty deep considering that we got Brian, Shady, Weaver, and a guy who had a great preseason: Eldra Buckley. So its gonna be a little hard splitting carries. But if you ask me, we gotta find a way to get this guy involved more. He's not gonna dissapoint.

Props to Shady too for having himself a good game. 11 car, 82 yds. Really.... everyone contributed today. Donovan did a great job of getting all our weapons involved: DeSean, Maclin, Weaver, McCoy, Celek, etc... even the defense shined. Sean Jones had himself a good game too.

    Weaver is proving himself to wear an EAGLES uniform. You are right, we must get him more involved.

      Dude's an animal. He was an underrated pickup last year. Most of the love went to Peters who has been dissapointing so far.

      Idk if Weaver will go to the Pro Bowl, but he probably would have if we had used him more. He had himself a great game in a Nationally telivised game so hopefully today draws attention from voters. I biasedly voted for him.. Lol

      I've yet to see him need to use the stiff arm as an EAGLE. I've seen him use that and stop defenders dead in their tracks.

    He and Shady are a nice combo of power and speed. Westbrook and McCoy are too similar I say get Weaver touches and change our style up a little.

      OMG, you know I never put the similarities together before, but it makes a lot of sense, you could be on to something.

      Good point. Everyone certainly did click as a team and the result? A blowout. The victim? The Giants.

      Whent his team plays Eagles football, we're unbeatable.

      When they all play to their abilities, they are definitely unbeatable. Let's hope they keep it up! Do you think Andy has something up his sleeve for Dallas? I am really surprised that he hasn't really found a way to use Vick yet.

      If Andy had something up his sleeve, he probably would have been saving it for the Giants instead of Dallas. Perhaps due to the blowout nature of the game, Andy saved all his tricks.
