Why Shady McCoy Is a Top Five HB.

LeSean McCoy is having a tremendous season so far. In fact, he is carrying the Eagles offense so far, not Michael Vick. Don't get me wrong, Vick is still playing well and making some much needed plays. Nobody avoids sacks and then turns them into gains as well, or as often as he does. However, McCoy is turning runs that should go for a loss of three or four into gains of five or six. How? It's because of his remarkable cutback ability. There is no better cutback runner in this league right now. Shady is the best. After you see his cutback skills, you can then throw in his speed and suprising power. He also is great at catching the ball. So far, he has four rushing touchdowns, 57 attempts, and 345 yards. That is a 6.1 yards per carry average. Look for this to be another 1,000+ yard season for Shady, which is very impressive considering the Eagles bad offensive line.
