Why do the Eagles need "small backs"?
I'd take Steve Jackson over any of the Eagles RBs for short yardage.
He's fast and strong and runs hard and carries enough momentum to get an extra yard or two in a short yardage situation. This is the kind of guy the Eagles have not had anyone like since Duce or even going way back Herschel. And yes, he's carries a lot more weight than all of the Eagles RBs, except perhaps Tapeh. The point that most of our RBs weigh 20 lbs less than most LBs is important in one-one collisions and the aftermath push for extra yards. Execution is a great paradigm but we need YAC at the RB position for the playoff games on cold days that are coming.
