Eagles Snap Counts: Josh Adams Disappearance Highlights Need for Talent Infusion at RB

A little over a month ago, Doug Pederson admitted that undrafted rookie Josh Adams had become the Eagles’ feature running back.

That didn’t last long.

In the Eagles’ 20-14 loss in New Orleans on Sunday, Adams didn’t get in the game once. That means in the Eagles’ two playoff games, Adams played just one offensive snap. He had one carry for two yards.

Against the Saints, Darren Sproles got 27 snaps, Wendell Smallwood got 23 and even Boston Scott, who joined the team in December, got two defensive snaps. Before the Rams game, Smallwood had just 11 snaps in the previous four weeks combined. This whole season has been a shuffling act at RB.

After the wild-card win over the Bears, head coach Doug Pederson said the reason Adams didn’t play was game-specific. But it seems like that wasn’t the whole story. In the Rams and Texans games, Adams had 26 carries for just 49 yards (1.88 per attempt) and had a big fumble in the Texans game.

So in these playoffs, the Eagles completely abandoned a guy they named their feature back a little over a month earlier. It’s pretty clear they need a talent infusion at that position this offseason.

Sure, no one knew Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement were going to get hurt, but Ajayi is going to be a free agent and Clement hasn’t proven he can be “the guy” so the Eagles will need to be in the market for a new back.
