“He’ll be in that role sometimes where he carries the load for the game, and he’ll be in the role sometimes like he was in last game,” Recall that the Eagles head coach stated a day before the game that Swift’s role will vary from game to game. And that’s why he’s such a strong sell high after a massive game on prime time. But unless he’s completely missing games, this is the ceiling spot for Swift. Now, I think Swift’s performance has changed the idea that Gainwell will dominate snaps like he did in Week 1, with Swift probably the 1A back. I’m in the camp of believing that this type of workload is not in the Eagles’ long-term plan for Swift and that when Gainwell returns, Swift’s snaps will reduce dramatically. Just twice in 2021 under head coach Nick Sirianni. Miles Sanders saw a 70-percent snap share once last season. As I stated at the top, this type of usage was unlike anything we have ever seen from Swift or for an Eagles RB. The real question is what to do with Swift now after his UNBELIEVABLE game.įor me, it’s the perfect sell high situation. Although, part of running behind an elite OL that creates space like none other – 82 of Swift’s yards came BEFORE contact (47%) – comes with the caveat that Jalen Hurts is going to limit RB TD production with the unstoppable “tush push” at the goal line. Rashaad Penny played a few drives with Swift catching his breath on the sideline, but still only played 9 snaps with 4 touches.Īll in all, this was the upside case for Swift in the Eagles offense. Boston Scott was second in command – 13% snap share, 5 touches – but he left the game due to a concussion. He barely played in Week 1 (two touches), so he had fresh legs. But it was not nearly to the extent we saw Swift get deployed versus the Vikings, where the planets aligned for him in a short week. Gainwell started Week 1, saw solid usage, and was productive. This usage was insane and was obviously fueled by Kenneth Gainwell‘s inactive status. Only twice (including Thursday night) has Swift carried the ball 17-plus times over 42 games played. The 28 carries were the second-most he has ever had in his career. His 75% snap share tied for the third-highest snap share of his career. He rushed for 175 yards on 28 carries while adding in three catches for six yards on three targets. Hard to start anywhere but with Eagles running back D’Andre Swift, who had a career game on Thursday night football.
