Even with all the unanswered questions that surround the Eagles backfield, the Birds seem to be set on their crop of running backs. At least, that's what it appeared it to be. Rumors have swirled around Philadelphia that the Eagles are interested in adding the veteran back Warrick Dunn. The rumors have been brought about by ESPN.com, and have been discussed in USA Today.
So how would bringing Warrick Dunn to Philly help out the team? Well for starters, he is an experienced player in the NFL, and has been quite successful during his 13 year career. The impact that Dunn would have on the Birds, besides his play on the field, would be teaching the younger backs.
With 2nd round draft pick LeSean McCoy expected to see a good amount of action in 2009, he will need to be prepared physically and mentally. Dunn would take McCoy under his wing, and could teach him the "small things" that many young backs never learn. The addition of Dunn would bring leadership to the Eagles backfield, and would give the younger players a mentor to look up too.
Warrick Dunn has had a solid career in the NFL, spending most of his years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and recently the Atlanta Falcons. In his career, Dunn has rushed for 10,967 yards, with 49 touchdowns. After doing some research, I have found that in 17 total games against the Redskins, Giants, and Cowboys, Dunn has rushed for 1,193 yards and 4 touchdowns. These are pretty good stats for him, and could help the Eagles against their division rivals. Bringing in Warrick Dunn would be a great addition, especially since he would provide leadership and experience to the backfield. The players, such as LeSean McCoy and Lorenzo Booker, would be able to get the "tricks" that have made Warrick Dunn successful in the NFL and he could also bring some relief to Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy.
