Eagles' challenge at running back will be to mask predictability

Ideally, at the running back position, the Philadelphia Eagles and every other team in the NFL would like to have a do-it-all player who can run inside, run outside, catch passes, and pass protect at a high level. The Eagles don't have that. The trick for their offensive coaching staff will be finding a way to utilize all the strengths of their backs, while not being predictable in calling plays.
