Eagles coach Doug Pederson is stuck in the old-Andy Reid rut of passing way more than running the ball.
Even Reid would have adjusted to a quarterback Carson Wentz who seems like a deer in the headlights.
The Birds ran only 23 times yesterday for 156 yards, a 6.8-yards-per-carry average.
They passed it 37 times for 190 yards, a 4.8-yards-per-catch average.
What are we missing?
