The Real McCoy

Go Shady, go.

This is my 25th blog post, so I decided to honor number 25. All the way back to my first ever blog post, I stated that LeSean McCoy is one of the best in the league. I'm glad I was right.

LeSean "Shady" McCoy has been the main bright spot on this disappointing Eagles season. Shady is currently second in the league in rushing yards. He trails Maurice Jones-Drew by just three yards. However, Jones-Drew has 35 more carries than McCoy, and is averaging 4.5 yards per carry. LeSean is averaging 5.3 YPC. Shady also has 12 rushing touchdowns, while MJD has 5.

McCoy faces a tough test this week though. The Eagles play Miami which means he will be playing against the 5th ranked run defense. This also means he will get less carries, just because Andy Reid loves to throw the ball. McCoy has been a factor in the pass game as well though. He has caught 42 passes for 277 yards and three scores. His longest catch went for 24 yards, and he averages 6.6 yards per catch.

LeSean McCoy for President, anybody?
