Eagles RB LeSean McCoy Admits He Wore Down Late In The Year

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy seemed to sag late in his initial season, gaining just 109 yards in his final 32 carries, over five games. That isn't unusual for a rookie, faced with a season that lasts almost twice as long as what he was used to in college. "It was long. I was tired," McCoy said. "All the rookies from [2008] kind of warned us about it. Doing the same thing over and over and over, practice, running, probably beats you down more physically than mentally." McCoy said he wants to get stronger and faster, to keep that from happening again; toward that end he is down at NovaCare taking part in the offeason conditioning program, but he mainly wants to "get more focused," now that he is the focal point.

It would seem like every rookie would feel this way, not just the running backs. Gotta take a different approach to your whole lifestyle, I'd imagine...

Most rookies that get a good amount of PT feel worn down...

I think it's awesome to make him the #1 back after a full season where he admits to not being in the best condition and growing tired, which in my opinion cost the team.

right but why get rid of westbrook for an unknown. i know it is logical, but it doesn't make sense considering he hasn't proven himself. it is also not a surprise to these rookies that they will be playing more games during the year. the nfl schedule isn't a secret to anyone.

westbrook's knees are shot. that more than the head issues is why he was cut and not offered a lower contract to come back.
